The Kind Mind Project

03/03/2024

Life is asking me to pause.

For the month of March there will be no new episodes of The Kind Mind Project. Since launching this bad boy in 2020, I have taken a lot of pride in bringing you quality conversations that feel GOOD. Conversations that move me and that therefore I know move you. For the month of March we are going to take a pause because life is asking me to do some work. And you know that I will always practice what I preach.

During the time, I hope that you practice with me. I have almost 200 episodes of content that I can confidently say give you the best of me. Each week I will throw it back to a previous episode that is speaking to my journey right now and we will be back in April for new content.

In the meantime, my DMs and heart are open for whatever support you may need.

I love you, honey head.
Here’s to practicing what we preach.

“But it’s not perfect yet”

You’re right.
And it never will be.
So post it.
Say it.
Claim it.
Try it.

Perfection is bu****it and it’s never going to be found.
Something is better than nothing.
Today is better than never.

Do it now, babe. You don’t know if tomorrow is promised to you.

Drop a 🫠if you’ve been stuck on this lately so I know that you’re with me!

Happy Holidays from The Rudds 🎄

17/12/2023

The greatest gift of 2023 was buying a home with my favorite two creatures on the planet.

If 2023 has taught me anything, it’s this:

🎄Renovating your first home with your new husband CAN be fun if you’re intentional about it
🎄Renovating your first home with your new husband can also be the most stressful season of your life if you let it get to you
🎄Redoing your cabinets yourself takes longer than you think 🤣
🎄 Watching your husband stand back and look at his hard work with pride is one of the greatest gifts in the world
🎄 Decision fatigue is so SO real

That last one is a deeper conversation that we will be diving into next week on The Kind Mind Project, but for now, what are some of YOUR biggest lessons of 2023?! Share them below!

26/11/2023

Happy birthday to the first man I ever loved.

My Sega gaming partner.
My cinnamon bites on the way to school.
My driving teacher.
My pot stirrer.
The papa to my puppy.
The leader of my band.

I love you to the absolute moon.

We are not an instant coffee crew!
So we are not going to be an instant gratification girl either!

Anything worth having is worth working for.
You don’t go to Amazon for something that will last a lifetime. You go to Amazon for a quick solution.
When you want something that lasts, you invest in it. Whether that be your time, your energy, your money or your brain power.

I know you want to see change.
I know you want to move the needle forward.
But wanting it immediately, quickly, or easily is not going to give you the result that you’re looking for.

What aspect of your life are you trying to brew like instant coffee right now? Share it below!

Happy birthday to the woman that I owe my life to.
The woman that CONTINUES to put me first since the day she heard my heart beat.

I was blessed with a mother that has taught me…
Selflessness
Dedication
Resilience
Loyalty
Service

A mother who has taught me how to…
Love hard
Pray often
Support my neighbor
Give grace
Be kind

50 years ago, the greatest gift of my life was welcomed into the world and I thank God every day that He chose HER to be my mom.

Happy birthday mama 🫶🏼 I love you to the moon 🌙

Make it sweeter, sister.

We spend WAY too much time putting salt in our wounds. Criticizing our every move. Being our own worst critic.

How about we dedicate more time to putting more honey in our heads instead of salt in our wounds? More time celebrating our own wins. More time recognizing the GOOD that is happening around us and within us. More time HEALING and less time criticizing.

What do you say, honey head? You with me?

Holy renovations Batman!!

My husband and I are in the process of renovating our first home. We are in the THICK of it and we are doing the work ourselves with the outstanding help of our friends and family. We are tired. We are burnt. We are sore. AND I am so damn proud of the ways we have been working as a team to build this future together.

I am so proud of the man that I married.
I am so proud of the partnership we continue to create.
These last few weeks have been challenging and really stretching our capacity and I am so proud that we come home knowing we are on the same team.
We are in the midst of creating a space where we will grow old together and although we are feeling tired and sore and spread thin, I choose you.
I am the luckiest woman in the world to share a life with a man that works as hard as he does.

As would say, our home is in its cocoon season. I can’t wait to see what butterfly season looks like.

Are you in a cocoon season right now?! How are you maintaining a positive, productive mindset when that cocoon season is feeling really long?!

⏰ TIMING. IS. EVERYTHING. ⏰

My husband and I PRAYED and PUSHED for what felt like a century to buy our first home. Offer after offer we were getting rejected. We couldn’t chuck out enough money to compete with the housing market and I was starting to feel like a failure. I was starting to feel like the universe was trying to tell me something, trying to tell me that home ownership wasn’t meant for us. That our generation was the renting generation and that I had failed by not setting myself up to step into this next season of life with ease.

I was hearing the universe all wrong.

A few rejected offers in, the universe was making its plan so much more known.

It wasn’t that we had failed. It was that those homes were not meant for us. It wasn’t that I had failed by not “setting us up” properly. It was that we were dealt different cards than the people I had watched step into home ownership before me. It wasn’t that we meant not meant to buy a house, it was that we were not meant to buy THAT house.

Little did I know, the universe was doing SO much work behind the scenes ALIGNING for us until we step into the home that we didn’t want to leave. To the home we’re we TRULY pictured raising our children and growing old together. The universe HAD. OUR. BACK.

Honey head, I know it might feel like the universe is failing you, that your body is failing you, that your mind is failing you, or that are abilities are failing you. Hear me when I say this.

⏰ TRUST. THE. TIMING. ⏰

The universe is busy behind the scenes, girlfriend.
It’s busy ALIGNING YOU to what is truly meant for you.

Drop a ⏰ if you feel me on this! And tag a girlfriend that you think needs this reminder today!

What you grew up in is not your fault, but it is your responsibility to ensure that it’s not your limitation.

Read that again.
Read it until it sinks in.
It’s not your FAULT.
But it is your RESPONSIBILITY to ensure that it isn’t your LIMITATION.
It is your responsibility to make sure that it doesn’t hold you back, that it doesn’t fog your view, that it doesn’t trick you into believing that that was all you were made for.

I hope that you take some time to marinade on this today.
Drop a ☕️ if this gets something brewing for you! Share it with a friend that you think might need to hear it too.

There are no accidents.
This weekend is no different.
Words are harder this year but here’s what my brain has allowed me to process thus far.

No accomplishment in the world is going to make you feel whole. No shiny accolade or number in the bank account is going to tell you you’ve “arrived” at success.

At the end of the day, it’s you looking back at you.
Are you friends with her?
Are you happy with her?
Are you proud of who she is and what she stands for?
When it’s you looking back at you, are you at peace?
Are you full?

Because if not, no milestone or accomplishment will ever fill that hole. Keep the important things the important things. Including your relationship with you.

Thank you .ghetmiri and for the gift you gave me this weekend.

The Kind Mind Project is not just audio anymore!! Today I posted our first VIDEO podcast and if we are being 100% honest, my butt is clenched.

I don’t know the first thing about video.
Trial and error has been my friend.
But if this isn’t proof of how we can start messy, I don’t know what is!

Here’s to starting messy, starting scared, and failing forward!

While COVID has me stuck in this house, I am really looking to create content for YOU! What do you want to hear on the podcast?! What topics are close to your heart right now?! Let a girl know!
