It Is Time To Say Goodbye

The future will make room for you!!!

We often tell ourselves that a new beginning is exciting, scary, and challenging. Well, I am here to share that an ending is just as frightening. Over the past six years, UnCaged Phoenix’s platform has become my home, my voice, and the way I have chosen to project my ...

Ask Yourself This, Who Do You Have In Your Corner?

Disclaimer:

Everyone isn’t going to be comfortable with today’s blog post, as it will stomp on a few toes and pull on some edges. In full transparency…I tried to run away from this topic. It is a sensitive one, often met with a lot of defense and unnecessary and unproductive bickering. Nonetheless, it i...

YOU MAY HAVE TO DO IT ALL ALONE

Having to go at it alone is not a new topic for us at Uncaged Phoenix. Over the years, we have spoken to many subscribers, clients and mentees who have frequently indicated how the lack of support from others often left them with a crushing feeling of being alone and incapable of moving forward.  I woul...

Race Your Business Through the Finish Line

[Guest Blog Post By Kyla Cofer – Certified Life Coach] 

I wasn’t an athlete. I was the girl who would engage in sports 1) if it was required, 2) if I had a crush on someone, or 3) if I wanted to take on a challenge. Never just for fun. But I appreciate being healthy and in good physical condition, which is quite a challenge for a non-athlete.

I began toying with the idea of running a half marathon when I cheered friend after friend throug...

You Can’t Give Up – I Can’t Give Up

Have you ever said something, and you weren’t sure if you were speaking to others or to yourself? I have a strong feeling that this blog post, though it is for you the reader, may just be for me. Let me give you some back story so you can have a better understanding of the situation. As I am typing this blog, it is after midnight, which has become a constant thing for me. If you are wondering…no, I do not enjoy staying up until morning....

Purpose Beyond The Wall

Unlike popular belief, there are no fairy godmothers who appear on the day of our birth to decree what our one true purpose in life will be. If this were so, then clearly, they got lost and forgot to show up on my doorstep, and I am assuming yours too. Maybe they couldn’t find us or perhaps the joke is on us. We often hear people referring to finding and achieving their purpose in life, but have you ever stopped to ask: “What if we are ...

Changing The Terms Of My Story

There are times when everything is not going as planned, and you feel like your world is smashing into you. In these moments, listening to someone say that everything happens for a reason is enough to make you cringe and cause you to scream. It is not that we dont want to believe them, we desperately do want them to be correct. But how can you hold on to their words when deep down you feel that no one can understand what you are truly experiencing. Clearly, if they could only feel...

Who Are These People?

Have you ever taken a good look at the people around you? I dont mean a casual, once over glance but an in-depth look into who they are and what they represent. Have you ever  wondered how, what, why and, more importantly, when did they become who they are?

Over the past few weeks, many of us have been isolated from people we thought we knew and isolated with others we thought we understood. Over this time, we have learned that what we knew and who they are not, in reality, the...

I Took A Week Off & You Should Too

Last week I did something that I dont do often enough, I took a week off. I honestly thought it was going to be a day or two, but it instead ended up being a whole week. At first, I couldnt write, I couldnt code, I couldnt create.my mind was at its fill. As someone who enjoys procedures and some level of order, the past few weeks have taken me out of my norm and placed me into a new daily cycle. Yes, I was still able to take care of my kids; I was supporting and encouraging my...

You Are Stronger Than You Think

In spite of the new information coming at us from every direction, the one thing we can be sure of is change. For some of us, our ability to adapt is commendable and it is this superpower that we tend to draw on the most during turbulent times. but what about everyone else, will this make them weaker? No, it doesnt. It would be wrong and disrespectful for me to call anyone weak and advise them to just get over it during this season. We are not just dealing with change we are also...
