Loving Me, Myself & Life

Recently I became aware of a bad habit that I picked up. For the longest time, I didn't even realize I was doing it, and more importantly what it was doing to me. Maybe you can relate? Even though I was trying to take care of myself and fill my buckets, I had created a self-harming habit almost by accident. Today I am sharing about how I formed this habit, what it was doing to me, and how I n...

Join me today listeners as I talk about fear and F.E.A.R. (or how you can Face Everything And Rise). Fear is an extremely powerful emotion. And your fear of something may not be "curable", but you can't let it rule over your life either. So what do you do? Well, I'll share some stories around my own fears and how I pushed through them. Do I still have those fears? Yes. However,...

Today, let's talk about FUN! Are you having any fun these days? It can be easy to forget to have fun, and if you stop having fun long enough, you'll end up like I did and forget how to even have fun! Sounds crazy right? Well, join me today as share about remembering how to have fun again. At first, I had to force it - like using a muscle you haven't used in a long time - but it got...

I'm asking you this question today, dear listener: What is it that YOU really want? That may seem like an easy question to some, but I'm challenging everyone today to dig a lot deeper than your surface thoughts. To connect with your heart, so you can find the "wow-ness" inside you. Finding my own "wow-ness" was a long journey, some more of which I'll share very o...

Today I'd like to talk about something that doesn't get nearly enough attention as it should: the healing aspect of your self-love journey. Even I don't like to talk about it much as it sounds a lot like "work", which people can shy away from, but I'm breaking through that wall of fear right here and right now. By sharing with you some details about my own self-love j...

Have you ever tried to be something you're not? I know I have. There's so much information out there telling you how to eat, sleep, form relationships, meditate, and take care of yourself. Even here, I try to share all the things that work for me in these areas as I want you to realize your full potential and be truly happy. But I'm also the first person to realize that what I'...

Today I'd like to talk about something that's been a big revelation in my self-love journey - that it's ok not to feel ok. There was a time in my life where I'd sugarcoat something bad in my life - strive to find some good in a bad situation - that's The Secret right? Well, I'm here to share my thoughts on feelings on this and the fact that you may actually be doing y...

Have you ever wanted something badly that you've tried everything you can think of to attain it, but it still remains out of your reach? Join me today as explain exactly how that has felt for me and the hard truth I learned while striving for the seemingly unobtainable. The key is to not try so hard. Sounds crazy right? But when we do things or want things out of a feeling of desperation, we...

Today I share a lot of about PMS - but not just the typical definition of PMS which is premenstrual syndrome, but what it has come to mean for me: putting myself second. There was a time when I first began my self-love journey and focused more on my needs and filling my buckets, rather than everyone else's buckets, that I didn't have any of the textbook syndromes of PMS. Now, after a cra...

Hello dear listeners. Have you ever had that feeling of belonging? Of coming home and realizing that you can just be you? For the longest time, I had no idea what that felt like, but slowly as I chipped away the masks and personas I had built around myself, I was able to listen to be my heart and find a place that felt more like home than anywhere I had ever been. Now it doesn't have to be a...

Join me today as I talk about the importance of taking a mental break. Yes, even with all of my tools and self-love practices, I can still get overwhelmed and stressed out. When that happens, I have to just unplug from everything. Take a walk, focus on my breath, and just be for a time. It can be challenging to slow down if you've been go-go-go for a long time, but like with everything else,...

Today I am sharing some of my personal challenges with maintaining my relationship with my husband. Sometimes it feels like we're passing ships in the night. And yet, we both able to work from home, so it should be easy right? Well, listen in today as I talk about just how difficult it can be when you and your partner (with or without kids) aren't taking the time for yourselves or each o...

Have you ever tried to do more than you could actually do in a day? I find that for myself, I want to do it all and I want to do it all RIGHT NOW. And that's just not possible. When I try to do it all, what ends up happening is that I actually don't get anything done at all... So what do I do instead? What happens when it feels like I'm swimming against the current? Listen in to fin...

Hello listeners! I'm going to pull back the curtain a bit and share about one of my less-than-spectacular days - you know the kind...the ones where nothing seems to be flowing your way? I spent a lot of time trying to comfort and help those around me, but it was ultimately draining my own reserves...and it hit me - I can't make someone else happy, I can only help them find that happiness...

Please join me as I share about the signs given to me by the universe that have led me to where I am today. As I prepared to make one of the biggest decisions of my life, I kept letting fear into my heart.  Once I was able to let go of that fear, and trust in the Universe, I began to see signs that I was on the right track everywhere . Sometimes all the tools in your toolbox aren't quite enou...

Hello listeners! Today I'd like to share some recent and not-so-recent times that life just happened and rather than getting mad or upset, I allowed myself to be open to new possibilities and was rewarded with some pretty amazing things... When you let life guide you and flow with it - rather than against it - life will show you the correct path, if you are open and aware enough to see it. Su...

Today I am sharing about my struggles as a recovering people-pleaser. As a people-pleaser, I felt like I had to always be "on" - always trying to present myself as perfectly put together - and that was extremely draining... worse, I wasn't really "me". I was what other people wanted me to be. There's nothing wrong with wanting to be positive and meeting life head-on -...

So what happens when you get so knocked out of your flow that you're in a different river? Join me today as I share some examples where the natural flow of your life can be disrupted and how to get back to a place of balance. For myself, I always want to jump right back in and get to where I was before - like 0 to 60 in 3.5 seconds. But I'm not a car, and neither are you. I've had m...

Hello Listeners! With everything that's still going on in the world, do you find that some of the people in your life think you have more time than you really do? Do you in fact have less time than you did before? I've said it before: "You can't pour from an empty cup"...and in this podcast I take that a step further with "It's harder to fill your cup once it&apo...

Today I'd like to share something about how I've been feeling this past week. Spoiler: it hasn't been great. Despite being an Empowerment Coach, developing and using a variety of self-love and self-care tools, and wanting nothing more than to help YOU be your best-self, sometimes I don't feel like my best-self either... I'm getting better at noticing that though, taking a...

Join me today as I describe something I think we've all been through: an emotional tug of war. For me, I can be really happy where I am at the moment and then suddenly something will trigger inside of me and I'll get hit with a wave of sadness. Seems weird right? To be happy and at peace and then to suddenly feel sad or depressed? You might think, like I used to, that you can't feel...

One of my favourite sayings related to control is "You can't control the wind, but you can adjust your sails". I used to have a strong desire to have control over everything in my life, which, as you may have guessed, isn't possible. I can't control the weather, or what someone thinks of me, or how someone might react or behave. It took a lot of time and self-improvement t...

Join me today for a very honest and very real podcast where I share my thoughts and feelings about a very chaotic year. I can get overwhelmed with parenting, work, etc. so I'm here today to say it's ok to feel that way. It's ok to just feel . And I want to remind you that you can feel happy too! You're allowed to feel happy! You deserve it! Something I've learned though, i...

Hello listeners! We've all heard the expression "the grass is always greener on the other side", which is really saying "other people always seem to be in a better situation than you, although they may not be". Too often we forget the second part of that saying - the part that says "although they may not be". Today I'll be sharing about the conversations my...

Before you join me today for some "girl talk" be warned that I may share a bit too much about my "mom bra". Specifically, I'm sharing a lot of my feelings about my "mom bra". Spoiler alert, I'm not too happy about it. More than that though, I talk about how we can put things off, being comfortably uncomfortable, and really limit our own happiness - for no go...
