Peace, Progress, and Purpose — One Step at a Time

Nov 09, 2025
Connect

Some weeks are about pushing forward. Others are about slowing down to catch your breath.

This season, I’ve been reminded that true success isn’t just about how fast we move — it’s also about the peace we carry while we move.

There’s a balance between momentum and mindfulness. Between building something great and making sure we’re whole enough to sustain it.

That’s why I loved this week’s conversation on the podcast — it’s all about healing, reflection, and remembering to nurture yourself while you nurture your purpose.


This Week on the Podcast 🎙️

Part 2 with Valencie “Vie” Exceus is now recorded — and it’s powerful.

Vie is a Licensed Acupuncturist and holistic healing practitioner serving South Florida since 2006. With nearly two decades of clinical experience, she blends culture, spirituality, and medicine to help people heal from pain, anxiety, and trauma.

In this episode, we talk about what it really takes to lead from a place of wholeness — to serve others without losing yourself. Vie shares practical ways to slow down, stay grounded, and make room for peace even when your calendar is full.

If you’re in a season of growth but feeling stretched thin, this conversation will remind you: healing and success can exist together.

Stay tuned for when it drops on YouTube — you’ll definitely want to catch it.


Conference Update — New Payment Option Announced!

The excitement for the 2026 ALF Caregivers Conference is building — and tickets are moving quickly.

This year, we’re introducing something special to make it easier for you to join us: You can now secure your conference ticket with a 2-installment payment plan.

Here’s how it works:

  • Make your first installment between now and November 12, 2025.

  • The second installment will be due in December.

That’s it — simple and stress-free.

But please note, this installment option is limited to just a few spots. Once they’re filled, regular ticket pricing will apply.

This is your chance to lock in your seat for two incredible days of learning, connection, and transformation at the Bahia Mar Fort Lauderdale Beach Hotel, January 23–24, 2026.

If you’ve been thinking about coming, this is your sign — take advantage of this limited payment plan and secure your spot today.

Personal & Business Highlights

This week has been one of those weeks where I felt both busy and grateful.

We’re still helping several clients finalize their initial ALF applications and preparing others for AHCA inspections. Seeing my clients step into ownership with confidence makes every late night worth it.

And as we wrap up the year, I’m reminded of something powerful:
You can grow in business without losing your peace — but it requires intention, prayer, and surrounding yourself with the right people.


Takeaway for the Week

Don’t rush your process — refine it.

Peace doesn’t mean slowing down; it means moving with alignment. When your heart and your purpose are in sync, you can build with grace, not grind.

You’re not just growing a business — you’re building something that lasts, and peace is part of that foundation.

Keep going. Stay grounded. The vision is still unfolding beautifully.

Service, Family, and the Power of Building Together
Systems Create Freedom, and People Make It Meaningful This month has been about two things that matter deeply to me:serving our clients well and honoring my family fully. I’ve been spending a lot of time building systems and strengthening my team. When done right, systems don’t create distance, they create freedom and impact. They allow you to serve more people, at a higher level, without losi...
Slowing Down to Move Forward — Welcome to 2026
A Gentle Start to a Powerful Year The first week of 2026 has been about slowing down — not because there’s nothing to do, but because clarity requires space. This year, I’m learning to say more no’s.No to overcrowded schedules.No to distractions.No to anything that pulls me away from who I’m called to be. And in doing so, I’m creating more room to say yes —Yes to changing more lives.Yes to dee...
