Welcome to Episode 6 of our podcast! This week's topic is one that often gets overlooked but is incredibly powerful: "𝓒𝓸𝓷𝓼𝓲𝓼𝓽𝓮𝓷𝓬𝔂 𝓲𝓼 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓒𝓱𝓮𝓪𝓽 𝓒𝓸𝓭𝓮." 💕

Sometimes in life, we tend to overcomplicate things. We search for intricate solutions and elaborate strategies when, in reality, the answer is much simpler than we think. Consistency is that straightforward answer, that hidden gem, which can unlock doors to success and healing.

Hello, Sugar Friends!

I know I have some new “Sugar Friends “ on this page, so I wanted to clear up something because I received messages from people looking for our business page, R.J.’s. This is my podcast page, so it might get a little confusing since I talk a lot about my journey that led to opening R.J.’s.

I just wanted to clear that up in case you’re looking for the business page—please follow it [here] RJs Metropolitan Ice Cream Co. I would love for you to follow this page as well 💞 and share it with other moms or entrepreneurs chasing their dreams.

Ladies, let's talk about challenges – those moments that test our strength, resilience, and determination. In the journey of life, each challenge is like a puzzle piece, contributing to the magnificent picture of who you are becoming.

Instead of fearing challenges, embrace them as opportunities for growth. Behind every obstacle lies a chance to discover the depth of your capabilities. It's in those tough moments that you unveil the layers of your strength and unveil the incredible power within.

Remember, growth isn't always easy or comfortable. It's a process that demands courage, perseverance, and a belief in your own potential. So, when faced with a challenge, don't see it as an obstacle; see it as a stepping stone toward the best version of yourself.

You are not defined by the challenges you encounter, but by how you navigate through them. Each hurdle is a classroom, teaching you lessons that empower and shape you. As women, we have an innate ability to transform challenges into opportunities.

The next time life throws a curveball your way, stand tall and face it head-on. Your journey is a tapestry woven with moments of triumph over adversity. Celebrate your strength, celebrate your growth, and celebrate the incredible woman you are becoming. 💪✨

🎨 You are the artist of your life! Don’t give the paintbrush to someone else. ~Author Unknown

"Hello, wonderful Facebook family! 🌟 Remember, you are the artist of your life, and your journey is your masterpiece! 🌈 Never let someone else hold the paintbrush that paints your path.

So often, we allow others, sometimes even those closest to us, to impose their limiting beliefs on our canvases. We dim our colors and restrain our strokes, conforming to a picture that isn’t truly ours. I’ve been there, and I’ve felt the constraints of a canvas tainted by another’s vision.

🌟 Believe in the boundlessness of your dreams! 🌟 Your faith in yourself is the greatest brushstroke you can lay on your canvas. I’ve learned that once you realize that your paintbrush belongs to you and only you, the game truly changes. You start dreaming in vivid colors, and the boundaries around your canvas expand infinitely!

💪 Don’t let anyone dictate what’s possible for you. Your aspirations, your hopes, and your dreams are valid and achievable. The only limits that exist are the ones we acknowledge. Break free from the shackles of others’ expectations and paint your life with boldness and passion!

🎨 Embrace your individuality and let your colors shine! Be the master of your canvas and let the world see the masterpiece that is your life. When you believe, truly believe, in the power of your dreams, the universe conspires to make them a reality.

💖 Keep believing, keep dreaming, and most importantly, keep painting your unique journey. Remember, the most vibrant colors often come from within. Share your light, be your authentic self, and let the world see the beauty of your masterpiece!

From Pain to Purpose 🍰💞

I began baking as a way to cope with the loss of my son. It was a therapeutic journey, one that started with a simple request from my daughter for a Barbie birthday cake. Over time, word spread, and what began as a healing process in the basement of my home blossomed into a growing business.

Every day, a mural that I had a local artist paint on my basement wall reminded me of my dream: to have my own brick-and-mortar store. There were nights when I stayed up decorating cakes and took on more orders than I felt capable of handling. But that mural kept pushing me.

"Write down your dreams." This visual reminder of opening my own bakery pushed me; it gave me something to work towards. "Write the Vision and Make it Plain."

On what would have been my son's 3rd birthday, that dream turned into reality. We outgrew our first location, and today we own a three-story building downtown. The ground floor serves as our storefront, and plans are in the works for a podcast studio and eventually a party/event room on the second floor.

To everyone reading this: If you have a dream, write it down, envision it, and tirelessly work toward it. The journey hasn't always been smooth sailing. When I gave my pain to God, He transformed it into my life's purpose.

For those enduring tough times, remember: sometimes life's pain is what leads you to your purpose. I now know that my purpose is to inspire and encourage other moms who have lost a child. As painful as it is, sometimes your pain is meant to help others.

Hello Sugar Friends,

Many of you know the story that birthed this venture. The inspiration and healing that laid the foundations of this business arose from immense personal pain: the loss of my son, RJ. As I navigated my path of grief, I found strength in the compassionate words of mothers who had braved similar storms. Their testimonies – that time can heal and strength can be rediscovered – served as lighthouses in my darkest moments.

I now recognize my calling: to be that guiding light for other grieving mothers. I want to assure them that even when they feel engulfed in sorrow, there is a beacon of hope. Together, with the right support, we can rediscover our paths to healing and purpose.

Today, I ask for a small but powerful favor. Please like and share my new page From Pain To Sweet Purpose dedicated to supporting mothers who have faced the heartache and pain of losing a child. Your support can help reach and uplift many more moms/women in need. Every share, every like, and every word of encouragement makes a world of difference.

I'm launching a podcast to foster a community where moms uplift and inspire each other with healing narratives. A space for them to reignite their dreams and pursue their passions.

Gratitude fills my heart for your support. 💕

To all the remarkable women and mothers out there, I want to share a piece of my soul with you.

Losing my son remains the most heart-wrenching experience of my life. Some whispered that I'd never recover, with murmurs of "she's unraveling" or "why hasn't she moved on?" echoing in my ears. I won't pretend there weren't moments of self-doubt. However, with time, I embarked on an intimate journey of healing and self-discovery.

I chose to drown out the external murmurs and tread my own path. As I transformed my pain into purpose, I realized the immense power of silencing the world's noise. Those voices, the skepticism, and the unsolicited opinions began to lose their grip on me. So engrossed in my journey of healing and self-growth, I became immune to the external noise. My quest for understanding, growth, and deeper purpose gave me perspective. I grasped the importance of moving forward, regardless of others' opinions. The further I moved, the clearer my mind became, unlocking strengths I never knew I possessed.

To every woman or mother navigating the stormy seas of pain or heartbreak, here's my plea: Silence the external noise. Regardless of the weight on your shoulders, keep pushing. Propel yourself to a place where the world's whispers become mere echoes. It’s not about sidestepping the pain but forging a clear path through it.

Walking this path isn't a cakewalk; I've treaded it. Yet, as the noise faded and I began to tap into my true purpose, a remarkable transformation took place. While my story is woven with pain, after tuning into my purpose, a newfound joy emerged. I started sharing my journey with other moms, inspiring them to transform their pain into purpose.

My path to self-healing started in an unexpected place: a heartfelt request from my daughter for a Barbie birthday cake. That seemingly small ask unearthed a deep-seated love for baking within me. From crafting cakes in our basement to owning a thriving storefront in the heart of the city, my pain guided me to my purpose. Every day, I am humbled and moved by the incredible women who walk through my doors. It's a profound honor to stand as a testament to the fact that sometimes, our deepest struggles lead us to our true calling.

So, keep moving forward. Sometimes, our tribulations are not just personal hurdles but lessons meant to guide and uplift others. In my pain, I found my purpose, and in living that purpose, I discovered immeasurable joy. Let your pain fuel your passion, and may you too find joy and purpose in every step of your journey. ❤️

You Can't Pour from an Empty Cup 🌸

To all the beautiful souls out there, especially to our strong Moms: Remember, you can't pour from an empty cup. Before you dive into the ocean of others' needs, ensure your vessel is full. It's not selfish to prioritize yourself; it’s essential. Self-care isn't a luxury, it's a necessity.

Putting yourself first is far from selfish. It could be as simple as indulging in a calming bath 🛁, escaping into the world of a novel 📖, or taking a leisurely stroll amidst nature 🌳. These precious moments of rest and renewal are not just important, they're indispensable. If you find yourself in a time of healing or recovery, this self-focus becomes crucial, granting you the space to rebuild, reflect, and face whatever obstacles lie ahead.

Let's embrace self-care together and create a ripple of positivity in our lives and the lives of others. Fill your cup with self-love and watch it overflow into the world. 🥰🌍
Take care and keep shining brightly! ✨🌟

Share in the comments what self-care means to you or how you practice it.

🌸 𝙎𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙜𝙩𝙝 𝙞𝙨 𝙗𝙤𝙧𝙣 𝙞𝙣 𝙒𝙚𝙖𝙠𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨 🌸

𝙃𝙚𝙮 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙗𝙚𝙖𝙪𝙩𝙞𝙛𝙪𝙡 𝙨𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙨 💕 I want to share something that might be a bit different from the usual "be strong" messages we often hear. Have you ever considered that there's a time to embrace our weaknesses?

Yes, you read that right –𝙄 𝙨𝙖𝙞𝙙 𝙬𝙚𝙖𝙠𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙨. 𝙄𝙣 𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙢𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙫𝙪𝙡𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙗𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙮, 𝙬𝙚 𝙙𝙞𝙨𝙘𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙖𝙣 𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙬𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙨𝙥𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙤𝙛 𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙜𝙩𝙝 𝙬𝙚 𝙣𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙠𝙣𝙚𝙬 𝙬𝙚 𝙝𝙖𝙙. It's in those times of weakness that we uncover our true purpose and find unexpected joy.

But that's not all – it's within our vulnerabilities that we connect with a community of fellow souls who've walked similar paths, creating bonds that last a lifetime. And guess what? 𝙔𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙬𝙚𝙖𝙠𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙨 𝙝𝙤𝙡𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙠𝙚𝙮 𝙩𝙤 𝙪𝙣𝙡𝙤𝙘𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙤𝙬𝙣 𝙝𝙞𝙙𝙙𝙚𝙣 𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙚𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙜𝙩𝙝.

Surprisingly, 𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙬𝙚𝙖𝙠𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙨 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙖 𝙬𝙖𝙮 𝙤𝙛 𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙝𝙪𝙛𝙛𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙥𝙧𝙞𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙚𝙨. The things we once deemed essential might not hold the same weight anymore. And here's an enlightening thought: understanding our weaknesses is an integral part of defining our strengths.

We're often encouraged to be strong, and there's value in that, of course. But I've found that on this journey of healing, leaning into my vulnerabilities has been a game-changer. In those moments, I discovered a part of me I didn't even know existed – it gave my shy self a voice. It empowered me to sit at tables I'd never dared to dream of before. 𝙄𝙩'𝙨 𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙝𝙤𝙬 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙨 𝙨𝙝𝙖𝙥𝙚 𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙚𝙧.

So, let's shift our perspective. If we truly grasp the idea that strength is born from weakness, a whole new world opens up. There's a season for embracing our vulnerability – and that's perfectly okay.

This is my encouragement to you – beyond those moments of weakness lie endless opportunities, profound relationships, boundless prosperity, unshakable courage, and untapped strength. 💪 𝙎𝙤, 𝙡𝙚𝙩'𝙨 𝙘𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙗𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙬𝙚𝙖𝙠𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙨, 𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙣 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙢, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙜𝙧𝙤𝙬 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙧𝙚𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙠𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙞𝙣𝙙𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙙𝙪𝙖𝙡𝙨 𝙬𝙚'𝙧𝙚 𝙙𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙗𝙚.

Hey wonderful moms of the world,

Today, I want to share a thought that has been echoing in my heart, and I believe it's something many of us can relate to. 🌸 Life has a beautiful way of shaping us, molding us into versions we need to be in order to survive and thrive through various challenges. But sometimes, amidst the hustle and bustle of it all, we may realize that some of these versions no longer serve us – they've done their job, and now it's time for a new chapter.

🌱 "I release myself from versions of me that I created to survive." 🌱

As moms, we wear numerous hats – nurturers, multitaskers, superheroes in disguise. We create versions of ourselves that can handle sleepless nights, tantrums, endless laundry, and so much more. These versions are born out of love, strength, and the sheer will to provide the best for our families.

But here's the beautiful revelation: just as our children grow, so do we. 💪 We evolve, we learn, we gather wisdom, and we blossom in unexpected ways. And sometimes, in this journey, we realize that it's okay to let go of the versions that no longer resonate with who we are becoming.

I'm embracing my authenticity. I'm learning that it's okay to ask for help when I'm overwhelmed. It's okay to not have all the answers. It's okay to prioritize self-care without feeling guilty. Through each challenge, we evolve into versions of ourselves that reflect growth, resilience, and most importantly, self-love.

Let's uplift each other as we shed the layers that no longer serve us. As we embrace our true selves, we create a ripple effect of empowerment for ourselves and future generations of moms. Let's hold space for authenticity, grace, and growth in this shared journey.
Let's create space for self-discovery and self-love.

💖 Let's celebrate the woman we've become, even as we cherish the woman we were. In releasing these versions, we open up our hearts to new opportunities, new passions, and new dreams that await us.
To all the incredible moms out there – you are a masterpiece in progress. Keep evolving, keep blooming, and keep rewriting your story. 🌺
With love,
~Yvette

🌟 Stepping Out of Your Comfort Zone: Embrace Your Calling! 🌟
Hey amazing moms out there! 💕 Today, I want to share something close to my heart - the incredible power of stepping out of our comfort zones and embracing our true calling. I used to be terrified of speaking in public, and if I'm being honest, that fear still lingers sometimes. But here's the thing, our dreams and passions often lie beyond the borders of what's comfortable. To truly flourish and reach our fullest potential, we must be willing to take that leap of faith and step into the unknown.
🗝️ Embrace the Unfamiliar:
It's easy to get stuck in our cozy comfort zones, where life feels familiar and predictable. But growth, transformation, and achieving greatness lie just outside that comfort bubble. Embracing the unfamiliar might feel scary, but it's where the magic happens. I've learned that when I allowed myself to step outside my comfort zone, new opportunities and perspectives opened up, leading me towards my purpose and calling.
🚀 Level Up:
As moms, we often put others before ourselves, prioritizing the needs of our families and children. But let me remind you, mama, that you too deserve to soar to greater heights. Stepping out of your comfort zone allows you to level up not only as an individual but also as a mother. By facing your fears and challenges head-on, you become a powerful role model for your children, showing them that they can conquer anything they set their minds to.
💫 Chase Your Dreams:
Have you ever caught yourself daydreaming about pursuing your passion, starting a business, or making a difference in the world? Well, now is the time to turn those dreams into reality. If you don't take that first step, you'll never know the wonders that await you on the other side of fear. Trust in your abilities and remember that every successful journey begins with a single act of courage.
🌈 Community of Support:
I know it can be daunting, but remember, you're not alone on this journey. We're a community of strong, inspiring moms who understand each other's struggles and triumphs. Let's lift each other up, cheer each other on, and be the wind beneath each other's wings as we chase after our dreams.
🌻 You Can Do This:
Mom, you are capable of greatness, and your calling is waiting for you just beyond that comfort zone. So take a deep breath, muster up that inner strength, and step forward with confidence. Remember, it's okay to feel nervous, but don't let fear hold you back. You have the power to redefine your limits and unlock your true potential.
📢 Share Your Stories:
If any of you wonderful moms have experiences of stepping out of your comfort zone and how it positively impacted your life, please share them in the comments below. Let's inspire and encourage one another to embrace our callings fearlessly!
Together, let's soar to new heights and show the world what empowered moms can achieve when they dare to dream and step outside their comfort zones. 🚀💪

🌸 Embracing Affirmations After Loss 🌸

Life's journey may lead us through difficult and heart-wrenching moments, and the loss of a loved one is an experience that can leave us feeling shattered. As mothers, we carry the weight of grief while trying to nurture and support our families. In these trying times, it's crucial to remember that healing begins with self-compassion and speaking affirmations over our lives.
Affirmations are powerful tools to shift our mindset and bring forth positivity during times of darkness. As we navigate this path of healing, let us remind ourselves of our strength, resilience, and capacity to love even in the face of loss.
Remember, affirmations are not about denying pain but embracing the possibility of growth and transformation. Speaking these words with conviction will help us find solace, acceptance, and the strength to rebuild our lives.
Sending love and light to all the brave moms on this healing path. 🌟

May the pain you carry become the fuel that propels you forward. May your dreams be revitalized, and may you find renewed hope in the days to come.

With love and support,
~Yvette
