Loving Me, Myself & Life

Hello dear listeners! Join me today as I share a recent "Ah-ha!" moment that I had while reflecting on something that I thought, at the time, would help me achieve what I wanted. However, I realized that it was an excuse, a sort of procrastination, that actually held me back from what I truly wanted. So what do you need to do today that you've been procrastinating on? Whatever it is...

One of the most popular New Year's resolutions is "get in shape" or "move more" and that results in a lot of gym memberships and a spike in gym activity...that eventually dies out by March! I think a lot of that comes down to not understanding your "why". Why do you want to move more? Why do you want to get in shape? Join me today as I share my "why" fo...

I've mentioned it before, but sleep is a very important part of self-care and self-love. And I don't mean just the amount, but the quality. If you're like me though, sleep can be elusive. You got a lot of thoughts swimming around in your head at the end of the day and those thoughts can keep you up at night. So how do I quiet them? Join me today as I highlight one really cool tool i...

Hello dear listeners. Join me today as I re-visit a topic from earlier this month about being a people-pleaser and becoming a soul-pleaser; someone that still loves and considers others, but not at the expense of their own happiness. When you realize that the only person whose happiness you can change is your own, that can be very liberating and set you down along the path of self-love towards the...

If you can apply even one of the technique...

Hello dear listeners! Although my entire podcast has self-love and self-care at its center, I felt called today to take a deep dive into what the term "self-love" means. There's a big difference between "self-love" and "self-care" and while they are related, "self-care" is the easiest or the two...and it's through self-love that we can grow. And re...

Hello listeners, it's time to talk about something that I feel like we all have to deal with at some point or another...managing difficult feelings. We can't escape our own feelings. It's ok to feel. We're designed to feel. Every emotion is valid. Our natural response when these so-called "negative emotions" rise up is to push them away or try to distract ourselves fr...

Hello dear listeners. Join me today for as I relate the how I came across something that really spoke to me and I just had to share it with you. I had thought that my day was going to go one way, but that changed, and that change opened my eyes to the belief that life wants the best for me. And I believe this is true for all of us. Now does that mean that life will unfold as you expect it to? The...

We've all had those days or weeks where we're so busy being busy we barely have the time to watch life rush us by. Join me today as I share about a recent busy time for myself and my family, where it seemed like we were all going in different directions and just trying to keep up. And then, in the middle of it all, I was overcome with gratitude... It sounds unbelievable, but I promise th...

They say that the more you focus on something the more it grows. What they don't often tell you is how to focus on what you actually want to grow. I got so lost focusing on trying to heal my Candida that I stopped having fun and enjoying life, and the worst part is that the intense focus and stress I was under didn't help me achieve my goals... Join me today as I make peace with this rea...

In today's world it can be hard to see the glass as half full, to find the bright side of life. Life is not perfect, but you can still be optimistic.

Hello again dear listeners! I realized that there was still so much to share after I finished my last podcast , so we're going deeper into the world of personal development in this podcast and talking more about how this kind of growth doesn't have to cost you.

Hello listeners! During an interesting conversation with a friend, they had said something like "I don't want to spend $200 an hour on therapy" which gave me pause and made me think...you don't have to spend a lot to heal. Join me today as I share a number of self-love and self-care solutions that won't cost you anything but give you so much. I've also got a special m...

Hello dear listeners! I'm back, and happy to be back! I have so many things to share in the upcoming weeks! Join me today as we start this off with something that I came across and it struck a chord with me: Well-being Burnout. I'll share about what this term means in the context of where I found it and what it means to me as well, as I have definitely experienced this even before the te...

I've been doing a lot of tapping lately to help me with my weight and that's how I had this emotional breakthrough that I want to share with you today. It's not just about how I look - not really. It's about how I feel. More sluggish, more brain fog, less flexibility...the thing is, weight isn't just what we eat and how we move - you know, the old (and false) adage: Calori...

Ok listeners, you might have picked up on the theme of my last few podcasts, but it's time to bring it all home with this one! Join me today as I talk, in depth, how I neglected the tools in my self-love toolbox and had to re-learn how to use them again to help me the way they always have in the past. I want you to know that I'm still very much in the thick of it - the muck, the icky, et...

Hello dear listeners. I recently had a kind of epiphany, or maybe more of a self-realization... I'm not the person that I was a few years ago, and in a lot of ways, I really miss her... But dwelling on the past is no way to step into your future, so join me today and listen to my story of how I moved from the initial self-realization, through the pain of loss and regret, and into self-accepta...

There's so many books, courses, podcasts, etc. out there now trying to help you be the best version of yourself. It can be overwhelming at times. And with all that information it's easy to just follow whatever someone else is saying blindly, instead of mindfully. Join me today as I share about how to sift though all of that using your intuition, and if you're not sure how to tap int...

Hello listeners! Today I want to share about the journey during my own "Personal Health Week". Join me as I share what that means to me and what personal health means in general. I also understand that not everyone can just take a step back from all or even some of their responsibilities for a whole week, so I also talk about how you can still achieve your self-care goals within smaller...

Real talk today my dear listeners. Even though I'm an empowerment coach and put myself out here to help all of you, I still fall victim to what I like to call "the hamster wheel of negativity". What is that? You've probably been on it yourself in the past, so listen in as I describe my latest experience with it and how I plan to get myself off of it. Part of the process is actu...

No one really likes change, yet change is all around us - we are in fact changing every day. Join me today as I share some thoughts on my knee-jerk reaction to an upcoming change that I immediately started worrying about. Now, it's okay to feel these things, whatever the change may be. But it's important to be aware of when your imagination and your worry have taken over. Change is an op...
