When I look at my younger self, I see courage before clarity, strength before wisdom, and a heart that kept believing.

It’s a lesson my mother taught me early on, that real strength isn’t about doing it alone, but about having the courage to lift and be lifted.

This “yes” was not just to a book, it was to her, to me, and to every woman who needs the reminder that we rise higher when we boost each other.

Here’s to the journey, the healing, and the boost that comes when we choose growth over fear. 🧡

So many of us silence our own needs in relationships, out of fear of conflict, fear of being “too much,” or fear of losing love. But here’s the truth: unspoken needs don’t disappear. They quietly create disconnection, resentment, and distance.

Being clear about what you want is not about control. It’s about honesty. It’s about saying: “This is who I am. This is what I need to feel safe, loved, and seen.” That kind of clarity isn’t selfish; it’s an act of love, both for yourself and for your relationship.

Your voice matters. When you speak it with compassion and courage, you create the possibility for deeper intimacy, not less.

💬 What’s one way you can bring more clarity into your relationship today?

Sedona was the reminder that my soul didn’t know it was craving.

This Soulcation with gave me the chance to rest my mind from the busy day-to-day, reflect on where I’ve been, reset my energy in the beauty of Antelope Canyon, and re-engage with the voice that has been guiding me all along.

As I reflect on my writing process, I’m reminded that our voice isn’t something we find only once; it’s something we return to, again and again, each time with more clarity and strength.

✨ When was the last time you gave yourself space to reset and listen to your own voice?

People often confuse healing with forgetting. They think if the memory is still there, or if the pain shows up from time to time, it must mean they haven’t healed. That’s not true.

Healing is not erasure. It’s the decision to stop letting the past dictate how you show up today.
It’s saying: Yes, this happened. Yes, it hurt. But it no longer controls me.

When you’re in the process of healing, the memory shifts. It becomes less about the wound and more about the wisdom. The trigger turns into a reminder of how far you’ve come.

That’s the real work, not pretending, not rewriting, but owning your story and choosing to carry it with strength and compassion.

So let me ask you: What are you ready to carry differently today?

I’m so honored to share that I am a co-author for the Give Me A Boost book, and my chapter, From Stuck to Starting: Rediscovering Your Voice for Business, is officially launching soon!

In my chapter, I open up about the whispers of fear vs. desire, and the power of community as a Mirror, Map, and Motivator in my journey. For over 30 years, I’ve walked alongside women who feel “stuck”, doing all the “right” things on the outside while quietly wondering if there’s more. My story is for anyone who’s ready to stop waiting, trust themselves, and take that first step forward.

This book is full of the voices of women who chose courage, connection, and growth, and I can’t wait for you to read it.

✨More details coming soon…

Grieving the loss of a relationship, even an unhealthy one, is normal.

Sometimes what we miss is not the person, but the routine, the familiarity, or the hope that things could have been different. That grief doesn’t mean the relationship was good. It simply means you are human.

Letting yourself feel the grief is part of letting go. It’s an act of compassion for the other person, yes, but especially for yourself. That’s how peace and true healing begin to take root.

Don’t pressure yourself to rush. Your heart will eventually align with what your mind already knows to be true.

09/08/2025

Sometimes what we call healing is really just avoiding. Numbing can look like busyness, quick fixes, distractions, or even isolation.

Real healing is slower. It’s choosing reflection over avoidance. It’s letting yourself feel, and letting trusted people walk with you through it.

If you notice yourself slipping into “numbing” instead of “healing,” pause and ask: What do I truly need right now?

You don’t have to do it alone; community and support make all the difference. Let me know if I can support!✨

Many believe that boundaries push love away. The truth? They protect love and make it stronger.

When there’s room for individuality, honesty, and trust, the relationship can breathe. Boundaries aren’t about distance or control; they’re about respect, safety, and clarity.

Healthy love isn’t built on constant access or losing yourself. It’s built on two people showing up whole, with the freedom to say yes and the safety to say no.

Love that endures is love with boundaries. If you’re ready to navigate how to set them without guilt, let’s talk.🧡

Some seasons in a relationship feel heavy, but pass with time. Others linger, drain your energy, and make you question if things can really improve.

How do you know the difference between a normal rough patch and a deeper issue that needs attention? It often comes down to patterns, connections, and how you feel after being together.

In my latest blog, I’m sharing 5 ways to start telling the difference, plus what steps you can take if you’re unsure where your relationship stands.

You don’t have to figure it out alone; clarity and support are available.

Choosing yourself is often quiet. It doesn’t always look brave from the outside, and you might not feel brave on the inside either.

There’s no standing ovation, no big moment of “I’ve arrived.” But it is a turning point.

It’s the moment you stop overextending to be understood by people who may never see you clearly. The moment you give yourself the permission you’ve been waiting for. The moment you decide that your needs are worth honoring, no matter who notices or doesn’t.

From there, things begin to shift. You notice the difference between people-pleasing and peace. Between needing control and finding clarity. Between staying out of fear and leaving with love for yourself.

This isn’t selfish. It’s a gentle return to yourself. One choice at a time. DM me if you need support along the way!
