    Do you know you have more than 30 minutes ???? Slow down. Be where your feet are. Make logical decisions that feel good with your intuition.  In this season of life, I'm learning the beauty of the ✨slow burn✨ I remember listening to a podcast a couple of months ago that emphasized the power of quick movements. It shouldn't take you a whole day to reply to someone's text or email- efficient people move with tact. I think I took that a little too seriously and started moving at lighting speed with EVERYTHING. That's when you start f*cking up

    Usually, when the going gets tough..I get going. Year 1 down of living in another state and God snatched me up by my shirt and said not this time boo kitty. In this season of life I'm being SO intentional: I'm facing my shadows, committing to my decisions, executing my goals, and loving the process. There will be no running!  To my surprise, I've matured and that 23 year old frontal lobe is really kicking in. All of a sudden I have deductive reasoning and my logic emotion is clocked in for work every. single. day. It didn't used to be like this

Quinci is my first official New York friend, and we've been doing alll the things together. From a luxurious spa day as our first friend date to trying new restaurants around the city together to finessing into club sections- we been tearing the streets up. she's also single, like me. in this episode, Quinci and I talked candidly about our transitions moving from the South to NYC. The dating scene in a cool 7.5 atm. I'm recovering from a situationship. Lightly dipping my toe in the dating pool. We're seeing and exploring every thing we can get our hands on from the clubs, the endless options of food, to exclusive events-and we're trying to figure out what we do and don't like for ourselves at the same time. we're both doing pretty cute for our respective ages, 21 and 22, so it seems like the biggest hurdle now is finding our sense of self in a sea of characters. + we give y'all our 2 ideal EP's made up from @brysontiller 's discography. please send us tour tickets dawg. on the go, miss motion? listen on ⁠Apple Podcasts⁠, ⁠Spotify⁠, ⁠Audiomack⁠, ⁠iHeart Radio⁠ +more listen to the ⁠meat free zone playlist⁠ when ur pre-gaming this weekend listen to the ⁠Blo Together playlist⁠ when ur sm0king follow all my ⁠socials⁠ subscribe for new episodes on Sundays drop the initials of ur man on ur roster if u watched the whole episode
