Day 7: My Houston Reset: Don't Sleep On Yourself // Let's Grow Through This Vlogmas // Dr. LaQuita J

Welcome back to Day 7 of Let’s Grow Through This Vlogmas    • Vlogmas 2025 // Let's Grow Through This //...   💚

This episode is all about the unexpected gift of getting away: the reset, the refilling, the remembering.

I took a trip to Houston with no plan, no itinerary, just vibes
and it reminded me of something I almost forgot:

You can carry life with grace and still need a break.
You can pour into everyone and still deserve to be poured into.
And sometimes the breakthrough isn’t in working harder...it’s in getting away.

On this trip I:
✨ reconnected with friends
✨ visited hidden gems
✨ watched a friend’s life evolve over five years
✨ sat in spaces that nourished me
✨ and remembered why we don’t sleep on ourselves

This getaway reminded me that some blessings don’t show up in routine. They show up in motion, rest, and divine interruption.

So here’s the message today:
📌 Stop delaying joy.
📌 Stop waiting for permission to reset.
📌 And stop sleeping on yourself when God is trying to refill you.

You don’t always need a plan! You just need to go.
Book the room. Take the trip. Let life surprise you.

If this episode poured into you, comment below:
What city do YOU escape to when you need a reset?

🎄 VLOGMAS with Dr. LaQuita J — My First Time Ever! 🎄
Welcome to my very first Vlogmas! Yes… V-L-O-G-M-A-S — the season where we vlog, sip cocoa, chase purpose, and try not to lose our minds while juggling 42 hats. 😅✨

If you’re new here, this channel is all about the real journey of being and becoming a pharmacist — not just the polished LinkedIn version, but the actual behind-the-scenes: the studying, the setbacks, the glow-ups, the “Lord, be a fence” moments, the breakthroughs, and everything in between.

This Vlogmas series is your backstage pass to all the layers of my life:
💊 Me as LaQuita — the woman, the dreamer, the one figuring out who she is becoming next.
💼 Me as the pharmacist — juggling a full-time career and working toward my HIV certification.
📚 Me as the mentor and strategist — still pouring into future RPhs while trying to refill my own cup.
🧠 Me as a human — navigating grief, unmet expectations, frustration, and the quiet moments where life doesn’t look like the blueprint I once imagined.
✨ And yup… me wearing every hat except the one I probably lost in the car.

This series is about evolution. Identity. Faith. Purpose. Fulfillment.
And the messy, beautiful, necessary parts of growing into the person I promised myself I’d become.

So grab your mug, your snacks, your study notes… and come along with me through Vlogmas.
We’re laughing, we’re healing, we’re learning, we’re grinding, and we’re choosing joy on purpose.

🎥 Join me for the journey.
I can’t wait to share these videos — and this season — with you.
