Stories, Support & Simple Shifts

Caregiving has a way of introducing more moving parts than anyone prepares you for... Medications. Appointments. Symptoms. Supplements. Notes. Vitals. Devices. Emotions. What I’ve learned is this: caregiving doesn’t have to feel chaotic to be effective.In the middle of supporting my dad through an intense medical season (stage 4 cancer), simple systems have become one of the most loving tools I can offer… both to him and to myself. These aren’t about control or perfection. They’re about clarity, dignity, and peace, especially when pain or confusion shows up. Here are the systems that have made the biggest difference for us.

I am so triggered by a story I’ve been following and I knew I had to write a post about it. This past weekend, something happened that shook a corner of the online business world and you’ve likely seen posts from friends, businesses or people that you follow about this issue. Sadly, a woman in one of the companies I’m partnered with, who is a top leader with thousands of people in her organization — had her entire Facebook account suspended without warning or explanation. The only given reason was she had violated community standards. But how?

I've been a part of the Mastermind community for a few weeks now and I really looking forward to our Monday morning calls. Today, Dean Graziosi brought the fire with a message that cuts straight to the core of what holds most people back—and what can launch you forward so I thought I'd share his insights. Whether you're starting a business, shifting your health, or navigating a life change, these three Cs—Change, Courage, and Confidence—are your fuel for breakthrough. Let’s break them down, shall we?

Today's blog is a rather long one, God bless you if you make it to the end! When the doctors told us there was nothing more they could do, I knew I couldn’t give up. That was October 2012. My dad had just endured eight weeks of intense treatment—daily radiation, 8-hour chemo infusions, and two of the strongest drugs in oncology: one nicknamed the Red Devil, the other Bone Crusher. His body was exhausted, and yet, I believed there had to be more we could do to support his healing. We doubled down on a full lifestyle shift—removing what we could, adding in what would help, and trusting God every step of the way.

Over the years, I’ve had hundreds of people ask about my dad’s journey. Whether it’s someone walking through a diagnosis or a caregiver searching for answers, the questions are always heartfelt—and familiar: What did you do? What helped him? How is he still here? I’ve told this story so many times, always wishing I had it all written down. So now I am—starting here. In May 2005, my dad was diagnosed with both non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma as well as non-small cell adenocarcinoma lung cancer.

There are days that pass without much notice and then there are days that divide your life into “before” and “after.” June 1st is that day for me. It marked a divine turning point. A moment of answered prayers, holy nudges, and courageous decisions. The day I chose purpose over discomfort. Aside from my saying YES to my husband the day he proposed, saying YES to this company proved to be one of the best decisions ever!

These days the baseball bag just stays in the car, snacks packed on repeat and dirt ends up everywhere despite my effort to keep things tidy. If you're in your sports mom era too, you know exactly what I mean!! Add in choir practice, baseball games, birthday parties, random activities, and family nights... let's just say: life is full (and busy busy).Not to mention running a business, keeping the house semi-sane, and trying to make as many home cooked meals for my family as possible... Sound familiar?

This is always a topic up for discussion. As usual, a mama reached out to me asking about exemptions for the upcoming school year, and I knew it was time to revisit this critical topic... again.As enrollment season rolls around, I want you to be informed, empowered, and reminded that in Oklahoma, immunizations are NOT mandatory for school. That includes public, private, and charter schools.

Let’s be honest—life is full, and some days it feels like you’re sprinting from one thing to the next without a chance to breathe. Whether you're juggling work deadlines, keeping up with sports practices, or just trying to fold that same load of laundry for the third time... stress has a way of sneaking in. Even when we’re doing the things we love, the pace of life can take a toll on our bodies and minds. April is Stress Awareness Month, and there’s no better time to pause, reflect, and take inventory of how we’re really doing.

I had the absolute joy of sitting down with my sweet friend and long-time client, Rhonda Flint. What started as a divine connection turned into a beautiful, three-year journey of transformation—both personally and professionally. At the time Rhonda met Brandi, she was feeling stuck. She had a GetOiling website that she’d been paying for—but never used for over TWO YEARS. The tech side of things felt overwhelming, and she was ready to cancel it altogether. But one conversation (and her husband’s nudge to “just hire Brandi”) changed everything.
