Passing judgement isn't toxic. It becomes toxic when we start imposing our judgements on others. If we keep them to ourselves they can be used for what I think this inevitable feeling is truly for. Allowing our judgements to point us towards our ideal selves, getting to know ourselves better, and helping us decipher the things we do and don't believe in to create a life we're proud to live. I'm si...

If you are the relationship type and have ever felt insecure about not being the casual dating type. Relationships have been given this stigma of being too much work and/or commitment, too boring or stagnant, essentially as soon as you are in one, you lose your edge.

I never expected you to get all the way through the 28 Days Of Self Love and be completely healed from whatever was troubling you when you began the challenge.

You are not stupid. There is a reason behind your thoughts. At the end of the day there is a reason you are having them. This is not to be mixed up with your overthinking mind, but looking at your initial thoughts and diving into the core of it to discover the truth is going to save you a lot of time and grief compared to not listening to it and finding out, typically in a harder way, that you wer...

As we come to the end of our self love journey together I want to talk to you guys about one of my biggest fears.

The word evolution sounds soooo long term. No thanks. I want to feel like the best version of myself now. I don't want the only answer for this to be that I need to accept myself flaws and all as I am right now because again that's something that takes practice, in other words, time. I want answers now and to feel good about who I am now compared to constantly waiting to meet this better future ve...
