Sometimes, life has moments that just plain suck - seasons of challenge, hardship, uncertainty and discomfort. But what if, instead of resisting them, we leaned in?

During a recent trip to visit my daughter in San Antonio, I found myself reflecting on a simple yet powerful phrase - "embrace the suck." While it’s a phrase that originated in the military, it holds valuable lessons for all of us in navigating life’s tough seasons.

In this episode, I’m sharing how shifting your mindset to embrace the hard things in life can help you come out stronger, wiser, and more resilient. I’ll share the origins of this phrase, why shifting your mindset to embrace challenges is crucial for growth, and five practical steps - both mental shifts and actionable tips - so that you can embrace the hardship and navigate it with resilience and strength.

If you’re going through a tough spot right now, I hope this episode is the encouragement in your ear to embrace the suck. And I want to support you! If you’ve got takeaway from this episode, or want to share how you’re embracing the suck right now, send me a message on Instagram @radiantwomanhood and @tabithablue and tag me in your stories. And if you know of another woman in your life who’d love this episode, please share it with her too!

Have you ever created a vision board but felt like it didn’t actually help you achieve your goals? The truth is, making a vision board that actually works starts before you grab your scissors and glue and get crafting.

I am a seasoned vision boarder and have used the practice to achieve some of my biggest and seemingly-audacious dreams - (including working with Oprah and writing two books!) - and in this episode I’m sharing the essential three steps you need to do to lay the groundwork to ensure that your vision board is a powerful tool that drives real results and turns your 2025 dreams into a reality.

By taking these three steps, you’ll gain insight and clarity into what you want to let go of, call in more of, and continue, helping to ensure that when you do create your vision board, it will be one based on your true values and what feels aligned for you - and that is where the magic starts.

In next week’s episode, we’ll be exploring how to create a vision board that really works, and so now’s the time to do this homework and lay the foundations for your vision board’s magic to happen! So if you’re ready to turn your dreams into action, make sure you tune in for next week’s episode.

And in the meantime, I want to hear your reflections! Send me a message on Instagram @radiantwomanhood and @tabithablue and tag me in your stories. And if you know of another woman in your life who’d love this episode, please share it with her too!

Have you ever felt stuck in a cycle of negativity where everything seems to be going wrong? What if I told you that you're not just noticing more bad things, but you're actually inviting them into your life?

Like attracts like and when we get stuck in these negative cycles, it can swiftly derail our sleep, health, and happiness. But it also works both ways - and by changing your mindset and inviting more gratitude into your life, you can flip these negative cycles into positive ones, bringing you a constant flow of blessings, joy, and abundance.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing why gratitude is so much more than just a fleeting emotion or a nice idea - it’s a powerful force capable of rewiring your brain, shifting your energy, and transforming your reality. I’ll be sharing exactly how you can bring more gratitude into your life, including some practical tools to help you turn gratitude into a daily practice, including my flip-it technique which is an absolute game-changer for shifting your perspective and mood in minutes.

In every situation, in every challenge, there’s a choice between what you plant in the garden of your life - is it the weeds of complaints, or is it the flowers of gratitude, that you’ll allow to grow?
