This past week I turned 35, and as I always do, I took some time to reflect on the past year. I ask myself, 'what am I most proud of myself for?', 'what challenges did I overcome, and what did I learn from them?', and then finish up with 100 gratitude's that capture the milestones or the juicy simple moments that I appreciated. I believe that reflection is such an important process to life. We gro...

This isn't your typical challenge. It isn't about a defined timeline, strict rules with a win or lose finish. This challenge is all about you, and you get to decide how you will complete it. The goal: to love yourself more by the end of it. We can all use more love in our lives, and the more that we truly love ourselves not only from a feeling but from an act, we can then show up better for those...

I LOVED recording this episode! I felt inspired to create it on a Saturday morning after reflecting on all the miracles that I have experienced in my life. Do you see miracles too? Perhaps you're looking for one this very moment. Please know, your prayer's don't fall on deaf ears, and if you ask, it is given, you just need to be open to receiving it. To help you create more miracles in your life,...

I've often stated on this podcast, at one time or another, that we want the things that we want because we will believe we will feel different in the having of them. I stole this concept from Abraham Hicks, and I think it's pretty spot on. Why do you want that money, relationship, baby, house, job title, etc? Will it mean you will have physically changed into something other than what you are? Or...

Awhile back, I had the pleasure of connecting with Petia Kolibova, a women's transformation coach, and the Founder and CEO of Unapologetically Abundant . At our first meetup after chatting for only a few minutes, we connected immediately due to Petia's vivacious energy, and willingness to be vulnerable and honest, which she also brought forward on the podcast episode. Listen in to hear Petia and I...

I've recently come across a book by Anthony De Mello called, "Stop Fixing Yourself: Wake Up, All is Well", and it is the perfect read for where I'm at in this moment. I feel as though the past few years have been filled with seminars, group coaching, 1:1 coaching, books on books, podcasts, etc. all focused around trying to 'change' myself into the best version of me. As of recent, I've realized wh...

At one point or another, you've likely been told about the immense value that 'being present' can bring to your every day life. I know I have whether it was listening to a podcast, or reading a book like 'The Power of Now' by Eckhart Tolle. However, I still often find myself plowing through my days, tasking away, and focusing on my thoughts about the future, what's next versus embracing the only t...

We often times disregard the most important relationship of our life, the one we have with ourselves. We can hold ourselves to standards that are impossible to achieve, ignore the signs our body is giving us, and just lack grace for the fact that we're human, and there is no such thing or measure as perfection. That's why in today's episode, I talk through ways in which we can shift our perception...

Oh worthiness. What is it? Well, according to Oxford Languages, it is the quality of deserving attention or respect. The thing they don't say, is who determines this? Is there a worthiness director, deciding who is deemed worthy or not? What are the requirements? I'm asking all of these questions so that you can see this doesn't exist. You are the only one that determines your worth or not. So if...

As I spend hours each day diving into books, podcasts, YouTube videos, etc. to continue on my journey of spiritual discovery, I find myself sometimes overwhelmed with all the principles that are available. They say to do this, but not too much, then that, then this, and my mind looks like a ping pong ball as I focus on bringing them to life in my day to day. With all to consider, I find it helpful...

Who do you think you are? More importantly, what do you tell yourself that you are? In today's episode, I talk all about our self identity. While we are so much more than the words that we often use to describe ourselves (ie, Mother, Wife, Daughter, Woman, Man, Them, Realtor, Teacher, Author, Artist, etc.), it is important to take a look at these words, as they tie with them the meaning and 'label...

Like most people, I am no stranger to mental illnesses. I've experienced seasons of darkness myself, and I also have friends and family members who have been diagnosed with various mental illness diseases. Thus, in honor of Mental Health Awareness, I wanted to open up the conversation to normalize and release the stigma reminding you, whether you've experienced mental illness or not, that you're n...

In this episode, I’m talking about the two internal voices many of us experience every single day - the voice of fear and the voice of love. So often, we hear phrases like “trust yourself,” “listen to your intuition,” or “follow your inner knowing,” but what can feel confusing is figuring out which voice is actually speaking. Inside this episode, I share: The difference between the voice of fear a...

I talk about manifestation or the law of attraction frequently on my episodes, as this practice and belief system has brought so many desires into my life. I have so much proof that this works, that I can no longer live any other way. Through each experience, I have discovered a few tips and tricks that have allowed me to enjoy the process while on my way to receiving the big goals I have set befo...

What the heck is an abundant mindset? You may or may not be asking yourself. Think 'glass half full vs. glass half empty'. It is a way in which we view the world, interpret information, and essentially live our lives. Have you done inventory on where your mindset is at? What are you telling yourself? What do you believe? If you focus on limitation, lack, worry, fear, it will only bring more of tho...

I recently hit the two year anniversary of my Dad's passing, and as hard as it is to believe he has been gone that long already, I also took some time to recognize how much I have grown from this experience. This undesired change has been by far the most challenging thing I've ever gone through, but I have also expanded as a being more than I ever thought I would. Change, whether it's within our c...

I recently went through a breakthrough experience where I finally made a decision on something that was holding me back for over a year and a half! This is highly unlike me as generally when I make a choice, it is as good as done. However, this decision had a hold on me that I wasn't even fully aware of. As we are confronted day in and day out with decisions, sometimes it can be tough to know how...

In this week's episode, I sit down with Lauren Allen, the found of Corporate School Dropout. She is not only a friend of mine, but an inspiration to anyone who is looking to ditch the 9 to 5, and follow the internal guidance that tells them they are made for more. She herself went through this process over 4+ years ago now, and through that experience, she took key learnings and developed the comm...

In the latest episode of Connect Back In, I had the opportunity to connect with Paul Fishman, a Self-Love Coach, Business Mentor and a You-Do-You Activist. He hosts the top rated podcast, The Road to Self Love, and has been lauded for creating a safe space, compassionate courses, and a community that is warm and welcoming. During our conversation, we talk all about self love, our own journey's to...

I had the opportunity to connect with Valerie Adams, Dating & Master Coach who helps single women attract healthy romantic relationships and call in their soulmate. The beauty of her work is that although it is extremely supportive in finding your dream partner, it is also beneficial in all areas of you life, as it teaches you to see your worth as you are. In today's episode, we dive into our stor...

Today's episode is a little shorter than normal, but nevertheless, is still an important concept that I wanted to share everyone. I recently went through a 'sad' phase, and found myself treating the experience as if it was a negative one, that something was 'wrong' with me. Now, back on the other side of things, I see now how important sadness is to our overall well being and happiness as a human....

I tend to keep my episodes more on the practical side, so the information is relatable to majority of people, however, I've been feeling called lately to share a bit more of my spiritual side, as this is the juice that has shifted my whole world. In today's episode, I talk about the spiritual superpowers that each and everyone of us hold within us. They are the tools that offer a deep breathe, all...

As someone who has big goals (desires) for themselves in this one and only life, it is certainly a beautiful thing that can bring forth so much joy and fulfillment, but on our way to them, we can sometimes lose sight of what having desires is all about. In this episode, I talk about why our desires are so important, why we want what we want, how to overcome perceived obstacles along the way, and h...

I was going to title this, "The Anti-Hustle Approach", but figured taking the positive route of what it is vs. what it isn't was more aligned with who I am :) That being said, in this episode of Connect Back In, I discuss why the 'hustle and grind' mentality that is especially common around entrepreneurs, is not the way to go. I've tried it, and believe me when I say, there is such a better way. L...

"Everything is everything What is meant to be, will be After winter, must come spring Change, it comes eventually" - Lauryn Hill Back when I was younger and consistently rocking 'The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill', I would sing these lyrics from "Everything is Everything" loud without truly understanding what they meant. It wasn't until later in life when I experienced challenges that these words st...
