Behind the vision

Hey ladies, I'm Risa Smith and I'm excited about our journey to spiritual and emotional well-being! I am a physician assistant in psychiatry with a passion to heal and bring about positive change. I am a mother of two and a wife to my heaven-sent, and wouldn't be who I am today without the man upstairs!

When life knocks you down...what do you do? #RealTalk

It goes without saying that this pandemic has shaken up life as we know it...but some things you just don't see coming. One minute you can be on top of the world, and the next at rock bottom. That's what 2020 has shown me. Most people encourage a career in medicine because it is lucrative and the jobs are plentiful, but after COVID-19 hit I was faced with unemployment-- much like millions of Americans. I found myself in a place of disbelief, uncertainty, and at times despair.

Unemployment During COVID-19....How to manage??

Who would have imagined 2020 would bring such unprecedented times? Millions have lost jobs, businesses, and even their sense of purpose. Are you one of those people? A great way to manage your time during this crisis is to create a spiritually inspired vision board! Instead of spending this time in fear or worry, spend it in prayer and be intentional.

Ladies!! It's time to #MeasureUP

The comparison trap has been around for years and years, and it catches you in the craftiest ways! Have you ever found yourself sizing up your colleague to see who has the most knowledge in the field? Or scrolling down your newsfeed and wondering "she is always on point....am I?" What about when your friend told you they just bought a house...did you start searching for a realtor?? It's easy to fall into negative thinking trying to "measure up" to the next. When God created y

Find yourself disliking the reflection in the mirror? You've got to RECLAIM YOUR IDENTITY! As God's children we were FEARFULLY and WONDERFULLY made in Christ's image, so that makes you pretty special! Don't fall for the comparison

Real talk on Just Mercy..Have you seen it?

Ok so this blog post isn't actually a spoiler, but a thought-provoking chat. I must say Michael B and Jamie Foxx did incredible jobs in this movie, and played roles that you wouldn't typically see them do. In a nutshell this movie speaks on justice for the wrongfully accused. Have you seen the movie? What did you think?? Have you ever received unfair treatment because of your race, sex, socioeconomic status? It can certainly weigh heavily because not only does it devalue you,
