## Caption

January 2016.
NYC was buried under a blizzard.
26 inches of snow.
Flights canceled.
City frozen.

And I was standing there thinking…
“If I don’t move now, I never will.”

Everyone thought I was crazy. Leaving comfort. Leaving an entire business on Riverside Blvd in NYC I built from scratch. Leaving familiarity. Leaving a toxic relationship. Leaving what “looked like”stability.

(Stay tuned for the FULL story coming out this year….a story I have not been ready to share for 10 years)

But here’s the tough love nobody tells you except your Mom ❤️

The hardest decision of your life usually isn’t the wrong one. It’s the one that breaks your old identity. It’s the set up for the come up. 

That blizzard didn’t stop me. It reminded be that God will NEVER give you more than you can handle. He will push you out so He can push you UP ⬆️ 

I chose warmth over waiting. Movement over excuses. Faith over fear. I KNEW that no matter what… God had my back.

And what felt terrifying in 2016
became the best decision I’ve ever made.

Sometimes the storm isn’t sent to stop you. It’s sent to push you out of the life you’ve outgrown.

If you’re standing in your own “blizzard” right now…

🔥this is your sign.
