My coach today said something in our Voxer chat, she said: "It sounds like the thing you're seeking won't even fill that hole." I was seeking external validation. And she was so right. Those thoughts I was thinking? Weren't mine. They're the voice of my inner critic, and here's how I rewrote them.

In the hustle and bustle of modern life, it's all too easy to become consumed by our daily responsibilities and forget to take a moment for ourselves, isn’t it? However, amidst the chaos, there lies a simple—yet profound—way to unwind, relax, and foster creativity: COLORING.

When you focus on self-discovery, you’re building your self-awareness muscle so you can identify and know things like your triggers, values, and what lights you up. And subsequently you can begin to master things like your time, energy, and mind (the self-mastery piece) and then all of a sudden there’s more room for joy, play, rest, and your creative passions (the self-expression piece).

Which builds self-love, which builds confidence.

Whoa. What a breakthrough, right? To be in such a powerful growth phase of business that my inner critic thinks this is all new territory for me and does everything in its power to keep me spinning in one spot instead of charging forward. (I'll be honest, some days it's gotten the best of me.) But here's the reality. The WIN: Awareness is everything.

I didn’t.) Let’s dive in.

Having difficult conversations can be daunting and challenging, but they are an important part of building and maintaining healthy relationships (as well as setting and effectively communicating boundaries). In this post, I’ve compiled ten tips for having difficult conversations in a constructive way to help you get started.

Having an online community can bring a metric shit-ton of joy and happiness into our lives (is that a real measurement?). When we feel like we belong to something bigger than ourselves, it can be a truly fulfilling and uplifting experience.

That’s what we’re all craving, isn’t it?

If I had a dollar for every time someone messaged me on Instagram and asked me what Reiki was, I’d have… you know, a shit-ton of dollars. As a Reiki Level II practitioner, I am honored to help others and share the magic of this spiritual healing modality. So let’s dive in, shall we?

Listen, having healthy boundaries is crucial for our well-being. Without boundaries, you may find yourself feeling overwhelmed and undervalued, and you might even develop resentment towards the people in your life. Setting boundaries helps us to take care of ourselves and our needs, and it also allows us to respect the needs of others.

This is the part they cut from the movies–that they don’t want you to see. “Just show the joy” they say. Well I’m working on my new identity. Peeling back layers and processing traumas I didn’t know were deep inside. I’m figuring it out, how to love my body for the miracle it’s creating.

Lately a question that has come up in my client calls a ton has been “How do I hold myself accountable?” And HAVE I GOT YOUR BACK WITH THIS.
