New Levels Get You Together In Life

in Influencer, life, life advice, life update, strength, by Linda B Hurd, May 18, 2020

These past few days and weeks have been heavy. I have learned to put them down and push them away on a boat. I envision my troubles being carried away to sea as I wave goodbye with a smile. I have learned that it takes more energy to hold onto pain and frustration than what it takes to find methods to let it go. There are people who cannot handle the truth once it’s spoken. Those are the same people then find fault in the one who’s willing to speak it.

Stop Sitting Still With Your Purpose and Dreams Because Of Fear

in confidence, encouragement, inspiration, personal growth, strength, by Linda B Hurd, March 18, 2020

All my life I knew that had to be prepared unknown. Growing up in poverty as a child makes you efficient in many areas of your life. As an adult, I shop for my family and myself in bulk. When I was an adolescent my mother raised me my younger sister and brother on a set income. We saw money come on third of every month from social security and food stamps.

in encouragement, self care, strength, by Linda B Hurd, December 19, 2019

Have you ever woken up from your sleep, still feeling restless? Not getting enough sleep can leave many of us feeling drained first thing in the morning. Sometimes that morning cup of coffee, energy drink, or tea is not enough to give your body the energy it truly desires from getting rest. If you can not sleep through the night could be a sign of an underlying health issue.

in confidence, encouragement, inspiration, strength, by Linda B Hurd, November 10, 2019

One may not always know a strong woman when they see her. Her presence demands attention. She does not allow for any situation to keep her from moving forward. She may get weak, yet her faith is strong. She knows her worth.

My Mother Will Never Read This. Reading Is A Gift.

in confidence, encouragement, mom life, story time, strength, by Linda B Hurd, August 26, 2019

My mother will never have an opportunity to read this unless I read it to her.

Going to any book store or library is sentimental for me. Growing up as a child, my mother always used to tell me to look at the pictures in books.

How To Stop Giving In To Emotional Eating & My Personal Experience

in life advice, strength, by Linda B Hurd, April 09, 2019

Emotional eating is one of the most complicated forms of self-sabotaging. I know this is true because I too have been struggling with emotional eating. Emotional eating brings temporary comfort. A temporary comfort that I crave while I’m under depression, anxiety, or just stress.

I Told My Mama To Stop Stressing

in life, strength, by Linda B Hurd, September 21, 2018

My mama Lilly B Wiggins is one of the strongest women I know. She raised me and my younger sister and brother with little money and education, but she always did have much strength. I cannot recall a time that I have ever seen her break down in tears. Hold up, maybe once or twice, from laughing or from a touching sermon while at church, but I never have seen her cry in a time of a storm.

I am a natural hair product reviewer and just a very positive black quality content creator on YouTube. I have been creating YouTube videos since 2009. My channel started off as an outlet for me to post my spoken word and raps while I was in high school.

Let Them Underestimate You

in confidence, encouragement, hustling, inspiration, strength, by Linda B Hurd, July 13, 2018

I never try to make people underestimate me. I just always find myself underestimated by people who compare me to others. It has happened on every job I ever held down in the last 8 years old and even now with working with brands. It’s funny to me in a way, because I always seem to have the last laugh in the end.

A Meaningful Father's Day Experience

in motherhood, motivational, strength, by Linda B Hurd, June 18, 2018

When I was growing up my two siblings and I would make it our mission to gift our mother something for Father's Day. All three of us have different fathers. My biological father was deceased. My sister's suppose father is now deceased and our younger brother's father is a deadbeat. My siblings and I never experienced love or the proper guidance that could have come from our Father figure. Our mother was always putting herself down talking about how nobody wants her because she's not any spring chicken.

People Only Bring Up Your Past When They're Intimidated by Your Present

in advice, letting go, motivation, motivational, strength, truth, by Linda B Hurd, June 12, 2018

There will be people who will bring up your past to belittle you! They will use something that you have probably told them personally that you might be embarrassed about to hit you where it hurts. One of the reasons why someone may try to use your past against you is simple, “They are envious of you and the person you are becoming.” It’s something or many things about you that they admire.

Working For FREE Is Not An Opportunity

in advice, hustling, inspiration, strength, YouTube, by Linda B Hurd, June 05, 2018

This year was the very first year of my four years of serious YouTube content creating that I started taking my channel and content seriously. I have been unemployed since the fall of September 2017 after leaving my part-time job with full-time hours as a bank teller and turning in my letter of registration. It was one of the most relieving and yet bittersweet experiences that I ever felt in my life.

Roll With The Punches When The Going Gets Tough

in fighting, hardships, life advice, strength, by Linda B Hurd, April 09, 2018

According to the Cambridge Dictionary, the meaning of roll with the punches is for one to be able to deal with a series of difficult situations. The meaning also does means via Google, (of a boxer) move one's body away from an opponent's blows to lessen the impact.

For me, I have found that life often has a way of hitting you where it hurts. If life knocks you into a fetal position, what will be your comeback?

Why I Couldn’t Breastfeed My Baby at CHURCH | Story Time

in breastfeeding, mom life, story time, strength, by Linda B Hurd, January 24, 2018

When I began breastfeeding two and a half months ago, I had no idea how much I would learn about my body and my baby. I spent hours online reading and watching videos from different mothers and their journey and experiences with breastfeeding.

I was beyond nervous and excited all at the same time to really get into the swing of breastfeeding once I gave birth to my baby. However, I learned quickly how demanding breastfeeding can truly be.

Four Things To Remember When Your Faith Is Being Shaken

in inspiration, life advice, strength, by Linda B Hurd, July 12, 2017

Have you ever started to question your faith in God when times had gotten tough?

I can for sure testify to that. There were many times in my life that I questioned the purpose of my faith in God. I felt alone and belittled by my trials and tribulations. I honestly did not want to go through with facing the storms within my life.

Things You Should Be Doing With Your Mental Health

in inspiration, life advice, motivational, strength, by Linda B Hurd, April 20, 2017

I decided to create this post because I struggle with my mental health from time to time. I was diagnosed with ADHD as a teenager. As a teenager with ADHD it was very difficult for me to focus in school and while just completing simple tasks. It took a lot of praying, counseling, and medication to keep me afloat. Today, I feel like I am still a work in progress. If you are someone you know is struggling with their mental health than this post is for you and even them.

Dear, Unapologetic Black Girl | This Took Growth

in advice, inspiration, motivation, motivational, strength, testimony, by Linda B Hurd, February 20, 2017

Just allow me to be me! No, as a matter of fact, I'm going to be me regardless. To be honest it took growth for me to even be able to say that second sentence with self-validation! I understand that being a BLACK an unapologetic woman in America could be so painful. Every day in America there is a BLACK woman no matter her age could be, fighting to live her dreams.

Dreams that could and shall pave the way for other BLACK women to be bold and persistent with their growth. I have not always been confident in being a BLACK woman. And here is my story and advice for other women...

Give Yourself A Pep Talk QUEEN | Empowerment

in advice, confidence, encouragement, motivation, motivational, praying, strength, truth, by Linda B Hurd, January 25, 2017

These past two weeks have mentally took a toll on me. I have been feeling like I have not been good enough. (Yes, I suffer from self-esteem issues like a whole lot of other women do too.) Nor, am I ashamed to talk about my raw emotions. I honestly don't see the glory in telling your story or even giving a message if you have to sugar coat that shit, in a whole lot of tasteless bullshit. Anyways, back to what I was saying.

Adjust Your CROWN and Stand Tall | Motivation

in advice, inspiration, motivational, strength, by Linda B Hurd, January 16, 2017

This past week was very eye-opening for me. I had to take the opportunity that I gave my damn self to adjust my crown. My crown may be imaginary to some folks, but oh trust me when I say that my crown is there. I believe that often as women a lot of us tend to stray away from the beauty of being unique. We see so many trends on social media, magazines, and even in our everyday lives that we sometimes just can’t help but to want IN. I have fell victim to going through an identity crisis a couple of times in my 23 years of living.
