To be happy and successful on earth, you just have to have people that you rely on. ― Michael Schur Subscribe: https://anchor.fm/theluxuryofselfcare/subscribe Follow Your Host: Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/rumor_in_stpetersburg  TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@...

Failure is not the opposite of success, it's a part of it. Success is not final, failure is not fatal, it's the courage to continue that counts.

More than anything we can't jump over the word "listeni...

Don't worry it's not a doozy... It truly was a lovely day, filled with people I love and who love me and support me. Although, to act as if the day felt like any other, would be a lie.

I chose to focus on the positives, and boy was it a huge...

Starting a new job always sets me off, because I'm not used to constructing my day yet. I don't know how time-consuming each task will take, what is most important, and everything is just brand new.

It's been a week filed with an enormous amount of emotion and confusion. To be honest it's not even from one source, it's from about four. And some weeks are just like that... it's HELL WEEK.

Not allowing ourself to spiral or judge or emotionally react.  Today I focus on Surrendering and Forgiving. A bri...
