(New Video Post) Don’t Make It Complicated – Be Honest #SelfLoveSaturday


Happy Self Love Saturday!

Today’s message is inspired by my upcoming series Beyond Complicated which drops this Wednesday March 9th on my youtube channel! Woop! In Beyond Complicated we explore the simple miscommunications that happen within relationships when we are not fully honest with our thoughts and intentions and needs. One of the most important things I’ve learned on my self love journey is just be honest, with my self and with others, especially anyone that I am in an intimate relationship with. It makes life a whole lot simpler when I’m honest with how I feel and everything that is on my heart is understood. Check out the video and be on the look out for Beyond Complicated!

More Speaking Engagements, More Events, More Panels #2016goals

I genuinely love putting together and hosting events. I also love giving a key note speaker speech, being apart of a panel and speaking directly to an audience on things that I’m passionate about like being a creative entrepreneur, seeing women of color represented properly in the media, self esteem for young girls and women and how to be your authentic self. Doing these things makes me happy.

For the last two years I’ve been very fortunate to be apart of some amazing panels and speak at some incredibly inspiring events, but one of my 2016 goals is to do even more of this type of work. I recently had to put together a reel for my agents and in collecting a few of the videos I realized just how much I love doing it. It’s so fulfilling and one of the perks of my business that I’m happy to give my time to. I’m currently working on a few events to host in LA and NYC and I’m finishing my book so that I can put together a tour and do more speaking engagements through out the year. This is a big dream for my brand and as well simply for “Andrea” the person who loves talking to people about what I’ve learned and experienced!

Happy Self Love Saturday!

Hey guys, today I want to share a video I did while I was exploring Venice Beach in Los Angeles. There’s so much beautiful art in that area and little bits of inspiration in every corner. I happened to stumble on a mural that said “Be Your Own Kind of Beautiful” and it inspired me to talk about that subject on this edition of SelfLoveSaturday. Check out the video below,

(New Video Post) Be Mindful of Your Energy #SelfLoveSaturday

IMG_72301

Hey guys,

Happy Self Love Saturday and Happy 4th of July for all of my American Friends! Today I want to talk to you about the importance of your energy and words and how what you think and feel is exactly what you get back. Before the summer started, I put “out there” (ie. multiple conversations and thoughts) that I want to bring more exciting adventures and energy into my life, I wanted to meet interesting people and have more of a social life. And in the past couple months that is EXACTLY what has come back to me in every way and I’m loving it, so with that I have learned another important life lesson. You have to be very aware of the energy that you are putting out into the world and make sure that it is exact and positive because it will definitely come back to you! Check out my video below and I hope you’re having a fantastic weekend.

(New Video Post) “Enjoy Your Own Company” #SelfLoveSaturday

Happy Self Love Saturday!

Today I want to talk to you about the importance of enjoying your own company. Diane Von Furstenberg has a great quote that I live by “You’re always with yourself so you might as well enjoy the company”. It’s very important to be able to feel secure and at peace with being alone and being on a self love journey can really help with that. When you have self love you find comfort in your own company and outside factors don’t shake your confidence or happiness or control you. Since being on my self love journey I have more of an understanding of being my own company and enjoying the moments I have alone. Check out the video below and enjoy this beautiful Saturday!

(New Video Post) Finding Self Love in a Relationship #SelfLoveSaturday

Happy Self Love Saturday!

Today I want to talk to you guys about the moment I discovered I needed self love more than ever before and it was while I was in a relationship. I am naturally a very giving and selfless person and through out my life it has been both a gift and a curse. In the past when I’d be in a relationship I would be so concerned and focused on the needs of my partner that I would often end up forgetting about myself or putting my wants away in the back of my mind. I feared if I didn’t do everything for the person infront of me that they would leave me or think I wasn’t good enough, I was leading with fear. This was a terrible way to be, because I was putting my insecurities first and living with them instead of fixing them. I knew at this time that I needed self love. I was holding on to damage from my past experiences and living with a negative belief about myself and forgetting that inorder for my partner to be happy, I have to be happy as well and ignoring my wants and needs in this relationship was the last thing I needed to do. Check out my video below on how I discovered the importance of self love while being in a relationship.
