Nowadays self-love is a frequently used term, but what does that really look like on a day-to-day basis? Well Eva Croes and I talk about her self-love journey, dieting, body image as a dancer, what healthy & happy looks like, therapy and all of that sprinkled some with body-positivity.
This is a steamy conversation with Kyara Walker. We delve deeper into the realities of being single and saved. From why so many women are single, to the struggles of finding a mate/partner who is compatible, dating apps, the bro-zone vs the friend-zone, to the Purity Movement, non-monogamy and so much more.
Honey! For LOVE MONTH the focus and theme is DESIRE YOUR LIFE. Today’s topic is “Spice up your Spaces”. I share my “Explore Your Senses” framework that I use when approaching spicing up a space. My perspective is that of a Marketing professional who has Merchandizing gems and loves Interior Styling and Design.
I know, sweetie, the colder months can be treacherous. That’s why I got you, boo! This DTWV episode and its corresponding blog will come in clutch. This will help you to get through these lower temperatures without looking and feeling busted and disgusted. Actually, it’s more like fabulosity in your eye and ear waves.
One thing for sure, two things for certain… Life has a funny way of being so contradictive, so counterintuitive! Rock with me while we get into this foolery LOL. This is an essential lesson for living life on planet earth as this happens in so many areas of life.
Look at the video and its description if you dare! It might just be the best 1 min and 32 seconds you see today. Like the video if you like the creativity :D!
While red flags are all over the interwebs, let me chime in on some red flags that I don’t don’t feel like people discuss enough. Because I got an abundance of love for you I even threw in an extra red flag and dropped an announcement.
Breast Cancer Awareness month is a good moment to bring up breast examinations to the light. In this episode I take you through the my experience of finding a lump to getting medical attention.
I’m sharing this with the intentions to normalize doing regular self-checks and remove barriers that people feel to take the necessary steps to seeking medical attention if it occurs.
Now that you know the 5 signs of feeling or being stuck (see previous DTWV episode), then you can move on to unstucking yourself. This is extremely vital in the ‘Get the Goal’ process. Hurdles are there to hop over and goals are there to be gotten. Let’s go!
P.S. Do you have any tips that have not been mentioned in the episode?
If so, feel free to share them in the comments of this YouTube video.
Getting the Goal comes with ups and downs. Knowing the signs of being stuck increases your awareness and increases the propensity to bring about positive change to the situation.
Share this video with anybody who may be or feel stuck.
Share it in general as you don’t know who may need to see this!
#NaomiOsaka and #SimoneBiles have brought this topic to the main stage in big ways.
I feel like we should discuss this as I’m sure many of you have been in positions under high pressure to perform while you weren’t feeling your best.
What are your thoughts? Do tell in the comments on YouTube + Subscribe while you’re there!
Summer time is great moment to do a reset: see what works, what doesn’t and assess what to do about it. I do it monthly and quarterly, however, this is a deeper dive.

Being creative to still get exactly what you need is often necessary so I got you, boo!

– Money Matters May (Bonus episode) –
This is a fun and entertaining way to get everyone thinking about people and things in your life in terms them being of ASSETS (things that can make you money) and LIABILITIES (things that just cost you money). Time and (high) Energy = money.
This is the epitome of DTWV: Braintertainment!
Once your eyes have been opened up to this way of thinking about what you do with your money, it will change your life forever. Moving forward it will also positively affect your financial decisions if you drop MINDLESS spending and be more MINDFUL with your coins.

Moving forward into the 2nd quarter (Q2) of 2021 requires us to be intentional if we are going to be effective on our journey to GET THE GOAL and become the G.O.A.T.
Starting off the year strong and losing steam comes when we take our eyes off the ball. Weekly, monthly and quarterly moments to Assess, Adjust and Andale (lehgo) are essential! In this episode we do just that.

We all love a good love story. Love is always a HOT topic, but what is real LOVE? Not just an abstract concept, but what does it look like and sound like? What can we use as a template? *Drumroll* – Do we love ourselves as much as we focus on how others love us and how we love them? Whew child, this one is deeeeeeep.
Get your tea, blanket and notebook and a quiet spot for this one! Edges shall be snatched!
We are blessed with so many amazing people in our lives, but do they actually know that we appreciate them as much as we think or feel?
Well this is a great excuse to be INTENTIONAL about telling the fantabulous women in your life that you appreciate them. Spread the love – Share this video with AT LEAST 3 WOMEN so that we can round off Women’s History Month with a bang!
Women have been getting seats at the table, but the antagony does not end there.
Women face issues at the table that are rooted in mindsets and biases that should be a thing of the past. Men AND women need to level up to bring true change in this matter.
Do we want our daughters going going through this? The answer is “NO!”.
Women have super powers! I’m telling you, things magically change when you add a woman to the mix. It’s how she rolls with friends, in an organization and runs a company.
WATCH this episode and be sure to leave a comment on YouTube with what you had to poetry snap to or share what you think I missed on the list.
We are just shy of 100 years of women being able to vote and be voted on as a representative of our society in government in The Netherlands. This is really not that long ago. The plight for equality continues as we have lessened the gap but still have a journey ahead.
Our voices (women & men as allies) need to be heard and mindsets need to shift.
The future is female!
Self-Love has changed the game for me! When you genuinely love yourself (I’m not saying being obsessed with yourself or being self-absorbed), then you show up better for those around you as well. My relationship with God is my source of love (horizontal). From that place of love and peace within, I get to abundantly share that love with others (lateral).
Many of us know of the Love Languages, but less of us also know about Apology Languages. These frameworks make building deeper connections and maintain them because we learn to communicate more effectively in cases of misunderstanding or conflict.
Vee-Day is a good reason to connect deeper and find out what our own primary Love Languages are and how they rank for those we care about.
Express love and appreciation effectively.
Some things are just super sexy when you become an adult. Nobody warns you about this, it just happens and then you know you are officially adulting (lol).
These are mine. I’m curious to find out what yours are!
It is easy to be interested in something, but to see things all the way through you need to be committed to ‘Get the Goal’. In the area love people also mistake interest for commitment. Watch the episode 2x: once with your goal in mind and once with your lover in mind.
Which side of the spectrum are you towards your goal? Which side is your lover towards you or vs? Thank me later! 😉
Sharing the driving force behind this program will give you insight into how I go about being of service to those who aim to do the same. Many things may seem impossible when you don’t have to structural and strategic tools to approach your goals.
This is the last week to REGISTER for GET THE GOAL. Do so A.S.A.P.!
Deadline: Jan 30th 2021 at 23:59 Amsterdam time.
The HOT topic of Lori Harvey and her dating journey is a great case study in the holistic integration of GET THE GOAL in Business, Life and Love. We look at the her choices, the principles and strategies that we can extract from those choices, see how they work for Lori and how we can apply them to our lives if it resonates.
To ‘Get the Goal’ when everything is smooth sailing is easy-peasy, but guess what?… Life happens and it becomes quite a challenge. I’m taking you on this journey with me in real-time to show you how I work through obstacles and push past them regardless!
I hope this helps you to push through and keep trucking too!
For the first episode of 2021 I feel like we need to take hone in on the positive, funny and unforgettable moments of 2020. The past year was challenging, but there were comedic reliefs. If anything 2020 has thought us to pivot, count our blessings, be (mentally) resilient and unite even while social distancing.
I’ll be back soon with YouTube videos but before I go… let me share these announcements with you! Trust, you don’t want to miss this.
#DTWV MEN’s MONTH has basically been therapeutic.
Let’s recap with the 5 therapeutic aspects & 5 keywords to describe it.

1. Be direct!
2. Men have feelings too.
Watch to hear the rest!
We touch on the personal growth, evolution as an artist, Mental Health, Men’s Health -Prostate checks, Period Sex etc… We can only grow when we face the music! Pun intended LOL
After catching so much flack from men on not addressing this topic adequately in the WOMEN’s EDITION, we finally have the MEN’s perspective.
It may seem like a longer episode, but once you start listening YOU CAN’T STOP lol.
With the temperatures dropping & cozy holidays ahead, it’s the classic start of Cuffing Season.

A hot conversation in Breast Cancer Awareness month on women’s health & well-being.

The continuation of the hot convo above!
Whew child, this is a super up-close and personal one!
I hope this inspires women (and men) to do check-ups regularly to catch things early.
Part 3/3 of the ‘Getting FIT’ series it’s all about tools to stay on track.
Like in the entire series, these tools are for the Mind and the Body; 4 each.
This part 2/3 of the ‘Getting FIT ( Focus, INTENTIONS, Tools).
Intentions = Drivers = your WHY. Drivers are key for setting meaningful goals.
In the FOCUS part of the series ‘Getting FIT (Focus, Intentions, Tools)’ we cleans to reset!
I do a cleanse because ‘Clean colon, Clear mind’! And letting go frees your mind.

This is a check-in with one of the Vision Board Event attendees to see how everything is going
with achieving the Goals that were set at the beginning of 2020… despite the Roonie-Roons.
Instead of a recap of 2020, I decided to go for a list things that help me to navigate 2020. Lesssons & insights I’ve been reminded of, or had to learn, throughout the year so far.
Look out for the recap of 2020 till now!
