5 Things About Healing You Don’t Know

I have always loved the idea of the hero’s journey. I love the idea of the adventurer going off on a quest, overcoming a series of challenges, and coming home completely transformed. If you’re a literature nerd like me, you’ll know Odysseus didn’t become a hero overnight. Rather, it required him to overcome many obstacles […]

How to Reconnect by Disconnecting

I am in my thirties, so I remember the Before. In the Before, no one posted what they did every moment of the day. People didn’t have anywhere to post pictures of their food or write a long rant for people to read. In the Before, you didn’t have the internet at your fingertips with […]

How to Begin Healing from Old Emotional Wounds

We live in a society that is much more focused on mental health and wellness. When I was in school, we didn’t talk about mental health. If you were diagnosed with anything, you kept it quiet. We did not even discuss it with friends. We were raised by a generation that decided you just didn’t […]

No One is Worth Ruining Your Peace

My 12 year old’s favorite advice I’ve ever given her is “no one is worth ruining your peace.” It resonated so deeply with her that I’ve heard her relay the same information to several of her friends over the last few months. The best part is that it can be applied to any situation, no […]

Let Them: How to Successfully Get Your Power Back

Shadow Work: How to Use it to Make Yourself Whole

I am sitting at a red light a few weeks ago, on my way back from Walmart. My kids are in the backseat playing. The sun is shining, and I’m calm, which is a feeling that I don’t get to experience often. The second the light turns green, the guy behind me lays down on […]

Go Love Yourself

“You can’t love someone until you love yourself.” Take a second to check in with yourself and assess how that quote made you feel. For a lot of people, it offends them, and with the way everyone tends to interpret it, for a good reason. I spoke recently to a friend who told me that […]

Make Yourself Uncomfortable for Growth

Good evening, readers! I hope everybody’s week has been great. I have some food for thought tonight. I say to be kind a lot, especially to my kids. They can usually say it before I even get the words out of my mouth because if they get angry at someone or frustrated with something and […]

Break Free. Why You Should Prioritize Yourself

Have you ever been stuck in a rut and you feel like you just can’t get out? Are you staying constantly exhausted? Have brain fog? Lack of motivation? I have truly been struggling for the last two weeks. It started off as a little bit of a down feeling, and I thought nothing of it […]
