If you are every feeling defeated, read these lyrics and listen to this song, I promise you Andra's voice will make you feel something worth feeling. ⁣⁣ ⁣ Sometimes you have to rely on other sources to give you strength and words and music does that for me. It helps me come out on the other side of feeling conquered.⁣ ⁣ ⁣⁣ What's 1 song that makes you feel like "I Got This"?⁣ ⁣ ⁣⁣ #emergingout #musicistherapy #thrivemo #cyclicalliving #ebbandflow #survivingsurvivalmode #selfpreservation #survivor #emerge #unravel #thisgirlisonfire #riseup #hopeful #unstoppable #bebrave #becourageous #modamvp #iamtitanium https://www.instagram.com/p/BnA4l0jnm6E/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=hzgfe383eaiz

Making decisions outside of my comfort zone is scary af but I can either stay stagnant or create opportunity for growth.  Life is definitely getting interesting already. : : "When you make a choice it is a statement to the universe that there is a desire, intention, vision a dream that I'm choosing to advance. -Iyanla Vanzant : : #emergingout #iwillsurvive #newspaces #thrivemo #thrivemode #survivingsurvivalmode #freewill #choices #nomoresagechoices #growth #movebeyond #theuniverseislistening #reposition #pivot https://www.instagram.com/p/BmcKkQPnQjm/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1xnu88zdktjs5

You nor I did not. We've made it this far after all we've survived. We have to keep going because the journey continues. : : #keepgoing #emergingout #sustainability #thriving #thrivemo #podsincolor #singlemotherhood #reclaimher #thrivemode #growth #survivingsurvivalmode #selfpreservation #selfcare #relationshipclarity #newhabits #tellingmystory #transparency #evovling #introspection #healing #selfacceptance #selfcompassion #seasonal #intention #powerinsharing https://www.instagram.com/p/BmPBZx2HEY6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=kd1rt7t0ij4w

Day at the hospital, having fun with the clowns, blood transfusion, inquiring about joining the family advocacy council and talks about managing his health and chronic pain, meeting with the financial counselor(cause POC's have less access to resources) and planning his next appointments. Then a pharmacy run and home we go to take on the 2nd part of the day managing my stuff. #thisisourlife why not have some fun too.🤡 : : 📅 June 19th is 🌏 World Sickle Cell Awareness Day. The purpose is to increase public awareness about the disease in hopes to gain more funding for research. Visit: www.stjude.org/about-us and sicklecellga.org to support the cause. : : #laughter #clowns #sicklecellawareness #sicklecellwarrior #breakthesicklecycle #findacureforsicklecell #stjudes #survivingsurvivalmode #singlemotherhood (at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston)

My episode is live. 🙌🏾🙌🏾 Link also in profile: http://bit.ly/ssmep1 : : Per @fareofthefreechild —Episode 78 is live and it's the first in a set of series by Raising Free People Network! This series is called Surviving Survival Mode, and In Part One, Emerging Out of Survival Mode, single mother, entrepreneur, and Self-Directed Education advocate, Monique Allison, talks about managing commitment, pain, shame, adulting, and learning that surviving just isn’t enough. She’ll introduce her listeners to the change-up process, an agile learning tool used in many self-directed learning collaborative spaces. Plus, she’ll talk about taking change-up hella personal, by applying it to her own life. #BIPOCinSDE  : : #thrivemo #podsincolor #singlemotherhood #reclaimher #thrivemode #growth #survivingsurvivalmode #selfpreservation #selfcare #relationshipclarity #newhabits #tellingmystory #transparency #evovling #introspection #healing #selfacceptance #selfcompassion #seasonal #intention #powerinsharing

💭Thought process: Survive the hard stuff, create sustainability and that will put me in a better position to thrive. : : This is an exercise that I talked about in the 1st podcast episode of Surviving Survival Mode. I'll be sharing the link tomorrow. I understand that work/life balance isn't always attainable, so at least knowing where you stand in each area can help you figure out how to create a life of harmony for you and your family. : : How many of us are/were suffering and surving in different areas in our lives, got stuck in those spaces and are/were ashamed to admit it? 🙈👀✋🏾 Being honest with self and calling a thing a thing causes you to stop resisting what is and deal with it head on. : : I'm a "write it down to process in order to gain clarity" kind of girl and this exercise did that for me. However, I didn't stick to the intentions I set at that time because I got so preoccupied with everyday life. : : Part of me creating sustainability is redefining and feeling out new intentions. : : #thrivemo #podsincolor #singlemotherhood #reclaimher #thrivemode #growth #survivingsurvivalmode #selfpreservation #selfcare #relationshipclarity #newhabits #tellingmystory #transparency #evovling #introspection #healing #selfacceptance #selfcompassion #seasonal #intention #powerinsharing #livingwithintention

I'll be sharing my 1st podcast episode: Emerging out of Survival Mode, real soon. It will be part of the raising free people network airing on @fareofthefreechild podcast. Details coming tomorrow. : : I'm being very transparent, reflecting out loud about how it felt to be deep in survival mode, how I'm getting my ass out of that space because it didn't serve me and what I'm doing so I can start thriving. : : I can't front I'm a little nervous. As an introvert, talking about myself is one of the things that makes me uncomfortable. But I'm doing it anyway because I hope it can help someone else who may feel alone while trying to survive an overwhelmingly stressful situation and can't find a way out. I also hope it opens up room for further discussion. : : #thrivemo #podsincolor #singlemotherhood #reclaimher #thrivemode #growth #survivingsurvivalmode #selfpreservation #selfcare #relationshipclarity #newhabits #tellingmystory #transparency #evovling #introspection #healing #selfacceptance #selfcompassion #seasonal #intention #powerinsharing

Note to self. And a reminder to anyone who finds it hard to have self-compassion when suffering because life got really hard. Remember, life is forever unfolding, so be kind to yourself. : : #survivingsurvivalmode #thriveMo #thrivemode #beproud #selfcompassion #growth #reclaimher #selfcare #innerpeace #selfloving #lovinginward #mindfulness #selfacceptance #emotionalsustainability

Slowing but surely emerging out of survival mode 🙌🏾 : : When adulting, being a mama, pursing entrepreneurship, self-ownership, single co-parenting(yes that's a thing) relationship clarity, self-care, unschooling, deschooling in all forms and so much more becomes hard AF to do. Even though some of these things are things I have to do and some are things I chose to do, nevertheless it doesn't take away from the fact that at times it becomes way more challenging to handle than usual for so many different reasons. : : Lately my journey has been about surviving survival mode and I can't wait to share more via my new project. Sharing more soon. : : #reclaimher #thrivemode #survivingsurvivalmode #podcast #selfpreservation #selfcare #introvert #relationshipclarity #manageyourmind

Make time and space to Feel What You Feel. When you understand something, the better equipped you are to manage it or move through it. : : Our emotions are part of our survival mechanism. Get to know your emotional habits and recognize if they're hindering or helping. I'm gradually making shifts with this thought process and it's reducing my stress level 🤗 : : : #feelwhatyoufeel #survivingsurvivalmode #journalwhatyoufeel #emotionalwellness #thrivemo #selfpreservation https://www.instagram.com/p/BmJh0-anrR3/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ny2tcwn4sk3p

Sunday vibes. 🌹 H A P P Y • S U N D A Y 🌹 : : I couldn't make it to brunch with the @kidcultivatorshomeschool moms. I'm there in spirit though 😊. In the past not being able to do the things that I wanted to do would shift my energy into a negative space. But not this time, I'm tired of allowing external elements to dictate how I feel and demotivate me from carrying on with my day in good spirits. : : Practicing the theory, that when you feel better you do better. #changeuphabit : : So instead I still put on make-up, tried out this hair wrapping technique I peeped on @professionalblackgirl and started working on editing episode 2 of Survival Survival Mode podcast. In ep-2 I'm talking about the negative emotions that show up in that space. #emergingout : : Learning to manage my mind over the situation. : : What do you do to shift your mood? : : #manageyourmind #selfcompassion #selfpreservation #emotionalwellbeing #survivingsurvivalmode #feelbetterdobetter
