Finding Your Tribe
The longer this thought played on repeat, the more that became the reality I was experiencing. More and more every day, I felt farther and farther away from people. They were the most minuscule steps, but one day it truly amounted to a distance I was scared to acknowledge. The most wild part - in an effort to be the only person I needed, I’d never felt farther away from myself.
Choosing Yourself
Choosing yourself simply means you stop pretending. You stop pretending that things are ok with you that aren’t ok with you. You stop trying to be the “chill girl”, the “funny girl”, the “go with the flow girl”, the “girl that’s down for whatever”. Not because you aren’t those things, but because those parts of you need no trying…
The Art of The Up Level
As you commit to and embark on the journey of truly knowing, loving, and owning every part of who you are, there is a dance you will inevitably enter into with the Universe. The give and take, the ebb and flow, the grasp and surrender. Trust me, I know this process - doing the work - isn’t a walk in the park. It means feelings of uncertainty. It means questioning. It means doubting. Until, eventually, you’ve built your trust muscle strong enough to feel secure in the fact that the universe is working FOR you - even when it doesn’t look the way you planned and even when it doesn’t feel like that’s the case.
Relinquishing Resistance
Resistance is something we all come face to face with - whether it be in relationships, in creative pursuits, or in business endeavors. Resistance is that voice in your head that says ‘I’ll just do that later’ or ‘you know, I’m obviously not meant to do that at this moment… I don’t want to force it’. And while yes, there is great power and healing in listening to those cues …
Go Play
Playing is like the toll road for our highest selves - the easiest way to access the uninhibited, pure, curious essence at the core of all of us. When did we get too old for play dates anyways? For setting time aside to be silly, to be creative, to explore the depths of our imaginations? Why do “adulting” and playing have to be mutually exclusive?
Redefining “Productivity”
I am here to give you permission to redefine productivity. To empower you to define what it means to you to have a productive day. To choose rest, to choose stillness, and to choose cultivating peace and still feel productive.
Squash Sunday Scaries
Here are a few reframes and simple self love shifts to incorporate throughout the week to stop living for the weekend and start looking forward to every day.
Diving Into Your Desires
When we shut down our desires, we can’t connect with our truth. If we can’t connect with out truth, we cant connect with our power. If we cant connect with our power, and express that power, we’re not going to feel fulfilled. Aren’t we all here with the purpose to feel wholeheartedly alive and fulfilled?
