Being the @wwe Ring Announcer for 15 years was quite the honor and something I took very seriously. As we enter WrestleMania weekend, I want to highlight and give a shout out to all the different crews that make up the spectacular show:
camera
production
producers
announcers
pyro
set designers
seamstresses
hair & makeup
sound & lighting
catering
writers
refs
office administration
& more…
As you can see, it takes a village to put on the show. While I was there, all of these played a huge role in my success, so I am forever grateful and witnessed firsthand how important each of these are to the success of it.
A HUGE shout out goes to the WWE Superstars, who put their bodies on the line daily to entertain us. We thank you for that and your talents & commitment. 🙏🏼
But the biggest shout out goes out to you, the WWE Universe who without fans like you, there would be NO WWE. You’re so special. 🤗
May you all have a terrific WrestleMania weekend! And thanks for the memories. I love you all!!! 😘🥰
For so many years, I was so guilty of this. Wanting more but not being a good steward of what I currently had. 🥴
I didn’t take care of my car very well, I was a bit messy at home, I didn’t make much time with my current friends, and I took my family for granted a bit. Then it dawned on me, why should I get an upgrade when I wasn’t taking care of the things I currently had been blessed with?
When I made the shift, things started changing for me. I started getting promotions, a nicer ride, a beautiful home, endless amounts of quality friends, a close bond with my family, and incredible opportunities.
Who can relate to this? Who can be honest and say they haven’t been the best steward of what’s currently in their possession but yet always wanting more?
Comment below. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this.👇🏼

I love how many of you resonated with my last post about being in the in-between stages of your life and how you’re seeing the value of this time.
As hard as it has been for me to sit in this unknown, I’m also grateful for it and appreciating the lessons I’m learning along the way, especially that ATTITUDE has everything to do with it and how I get to enjoy this time.
Comment below and share some of your experiences. I would love to hear what you are gaining from this stage and also how your attitude has played a part in it.👇🏼🥳

I love this quote and reminder that we are more capable than we give ourselves credit for. Problems allow us to grow and stretch. Sometimes it’s uncomfortable in the middle but wow, when we push thru, it’s amazing what a high we can feel in the accomplishment of getting through it.
So here’s to getting our gear on and slaying those problems! 🤺

Any of you been in-between relationships, or in-between jobs, or in-between homes, or in-between anything?
I’ve been in-between all of these, and right now three at the same time! 🥴
If you have been following my journey, then you know that I lost my parents in 2016 & 2021, my marriage in 2021, left my announcing job at the PFL in 2022, and moved from California in 2023 to my temporary home in SC.
Wow, that’s a lot of change and a lot of in-between. And the thing is, I didn’t see ANY of it coming. But since then, even though it has been a little scary because of all of the unknowns, thanks to God, I have also seen the in-between as being on a bridge where it has given me time to heal and grow in order to be ready for the beauty that awaits on the other side.
If any of you are currently on a bridge in your life, keep healing, keep growing, keep trusting, and keep looking up so you can be prepared for what awaits you. The main thing is if we keep showing up daily then life will keep showing up for us! See you on the other side. 🌁🤍

Have you ever been burned by either an ex girlfriend or boyfriend, ex husband or wife, ex business partner, or family member?
No doubt about it, it hurts! And could easily start making you feel like everyone is out to hurt you and only cares about themselves. But that’s a lie. Not everyone has ulterior motives. In fact, majority of people on earth are actually good otherwise we wouldn’t be able to live in this civilization.
The key to being able to move forward and make better choices is:
👉🏼 Accept that people are flawed (hurt people, hurt people) – doesn’t mean you excuse their behavior but it helps to know they basically would have hurt anyone in their path because it’s not about you, it’s about them.
👉🏼 Allow your heart wounds to heal by speaking to a therapist, getting into personal development courses, or in community with healthy people
👉🏼 Take full responsibility for why you allowed this person to hurt you for so long without protecting yourself (ex. were you vulnerable from past traumas and not yet healed before you jumped into another relationship? Did you not think you were worthy for better?..etc)
👉🏼 Forgive those that have wronged you. You don’t have to do it to their face. You just need to do it in your heart. Remember that forgiveness is for you not for them.
👉🏼 Above all, don’t make your future person pay for your past one. That’s not fair to them.
It is only when we take action to fully heal that you can make a better choice for your future. And take your time. Healing comes in many forms and different timelines.
I’m not advising you anything I haven’t fully adapted myself. I know firsthand what it feels like to be hurt, but because of the process above, I also know what it feels like to heal from it and now look to a brighter future.
I want that for you. #youreworthit

Speaking in Cancun, Mexico was fire! 🔥
And even though not everything went exactly as I planned, it actually turned out better! (Those of you that were there know what I’m talking about 😉)
It made me realize that life is not about plans being perfect. Life is about taking things in stride and being open to the amazing lessons you can learn along the way. THAT’S when real growth happens!!
A huge shoutout to my mentors @etthehiphoppreacher and @1jeremyanderson (last pic) who have been such amazing coaches!
Much more to come!! 🎤🙌🏼💙

Now that you have watched the video, here are some ways you can invest in yourself to level up your game and achieve your dreams:
👉🏼 Read empowering books
👉🏼 Listen to informative and empowering podcasts
👉🏼 Watch how to videos on YouTube
👉🏼 Attend informative masterminds and conferences
👉🏼 Get in community with winning people
👉🏼 Hire a mentor or coach
👉🏼 Take risks
👉🏼 Take Action
👉🏼 GO GET IT
And I’m not telling you to do anything I haven’t been doing myself for years. The amount of time and money I have poured into my own self development is a lot but every penny has been worth it.
And here’s the thing, if you don’t have the funds right now, that’s ok because you can start with FREE podcasts and FREE YouTube videos. Just do SOMETHING.
And you can start small. Just pick ONE thing you are going to do this week to invest in yourself. The quality of your life depends on it.
Hope this inspires you because you’re worth it! 😊🫶🏼

When I was presented with the opportunity of being the announcer for the @wwe I almost ran. Not because I didn’t want to do it, but because it was my first day on the job and I had had zero training for the position. I was being thrown into the fire in front of an audience of 14 million people that were watching it worldwide and expected to “figure it out.” 🫨
You better believe that everything in my system was saying RUN!!! But imagine how different my life would have looked if I had!
Same goes for you. Being nervous is ok but running is not. Don’t short change your abilities and just step into it even with your knees knocking. #gogetit #stepintoit 😉
Grateful to be in Cancun, Mexico speaking and sharing my message of empowerment.
Don’t let your voices ever get silenced. If you have gone through some adversities, use it for fuel!! Keep going towards your goals and trust me that it will taste sweeter in the end when you achieve them!!

A LOT changed in my life when I heard this quote. I started taking notice of how my emotions reacted when life presented its challenges. Some were good and some were 🫣.
I realized that I was totally allowing life to control me instead of me controlling me. And having those reactions didn’t make things better anyway. In fact, many times it made them worse.
After reading the quote, I decided to change and chill out when life started lifing!! That decision has actually empowered me and definitely increased my daily joy.
Try it for yourself and share with me below how it starts helping you as well. 💛

Such a nice surprise receiving a hard copy of the @inside_theropes magazine that featured an article of yours truly by @benvealwrites ! Loved the article Ben. You nailed it! 👍🏼😊
I’ve always felt so much love from the fans in the UK! Thank you for continuing this journey with me. Much love right back at you!! 🥰
Oh and if anyone wants to read the article, the magazine is still available in digital form from the Inside the Ropes magazine website. 😉📰

Ripping the bandaid can hurt at first but by finally making a decision and going full force with it, in the long run it will hurt less than if you hold on to the wrong thing.
I don’t know who I am talking to but I feel someone out there has been hesitant to do what they know needs to be done for fear of the initial pain. I get it because I was in that position. It was only when I finally ripped the bandaid on a situation that wasn’t getting any better that the healing truly started. ❤️🩹

The truth is, that was a spectacular WrestleMania weekend. 👏🏼🤩
The truth is, it took hours and hours of hard work and dedication by everyone involved to put that together.
But I wanna highlight the WWE Superstars, who not only put hours of hard work into their craft, but sacrifice their bodies daily for our entertainment.
Congratulations to you all, and of course, especially to @americannightmarecody who was very deservingly highlighted last night as he inspired us all by FINALLY finishing his story and becoming Champion! (But I have a feeling he is only beginning! 😉)
And I also want to highlight @samanthairvinwwe who killed it this weekend! Makes me so proud to see how much you love and respect the job of Ring Announcing as much as I did! Keep it up girl. 🥰
And @tripleh … WOW! 🫡👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
All this to say that dreams do not become a reality without dedication, commitment, discipline, teamwork, sacrifice, tears, and passion!!
Let’s continue to learn from these amazing performers, and apply it to our everyday lives to achieve and never have any regrets that we didn’t go for it as hard as they do daily. 👊🏼

Everything a MAN or woMAN is, flows out of their heart.
The question is, are you operating from your heart or are you faking it and being what you think others want you to be?
Trust me, the latter will wear you out eventually. But when you come from the heart, your true essence and light will shine through, which then will be way more attractive to others and mostly to your own self. This will increase your self esteem.
Remember that there is no other you! You are unique and you are special. So go be your badass self. 😉 #gogetit
This statement is holding a lot of weight today as I let go of a lot of items from my childhood home.
It’s not always easy to give up items that remind us of our past but sometimes we don’t realize how they actually hold us back from making space for new beginnings and new memories.
Double tap & comment below if you have found yourself holding on to items from your past and starting to feel the weight of them. 🥴 #letitgo

🔥 April = WrestleMania!! 🔥
For 15 years, this was my life. We would all look forward to April for the Grand Show! And every year it was full of excitement, athleticism, surprises, fun, costumes, pyro, worldwide fans and more…
But I would not have been able to enjoy any of it had I not taken a risk when my agent called me about the audition.
How many risks have you taken?
How many times have you turned things down before giving them a try because they didn’t line up with the exact picture you have in mind about what your life is supposed to look like?
Take it from me…someone who took a huge risk and turned it into a history making career.
👉🏼 Keep your mind open.
👉🏼 Keep exploring.
👉🏼 Keep taking risks.
Comment below if you needed to hear this and make sure to share it with someone you feel needs a little encouragement.
And HAPPY WRESTLEMANIA WEEK!! 💥🤼

In a world that sometimes feels so out of control, it’s reassuring to know some things we can actually still control. And stepping into your life is one of them.
I know it can feel scary to do that but the rewards of it far outlays the fear.
Stepping into it means taking daily action steps toward the thing you want. It doesn’t have to be huge steps, it just has to be something…
today do that something!! 🙌🏼 #gogetit
THE KING OF KINGS has risen!! ✝️🙌🏼💛
A reminder that we don’t have to live in fear, anxiety, depression, loneliness, or scarcity. 😔
No, because of the sacrifice of Jesus we can live in love, acceptance, joy, abundance & hope. 🤗
Now THAT’S something to celebrate. 🥳😇
Happy Easter everyone!! 😁🐣💕

I can’t quite explain what happened to me in December of 2021 when I surrendered my life to Jesus, but I will say that I have been forever changed by it.
The video says it all. My hope is that you will watch it with an open mind and see what the fuss is all about even over 2000 years after his crucifixion.
“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
