Picture it: You swipe right on Tinder and so starts the witty repartee in your messages. Maybe you meet up for a date and like what you see, so you date. And the dating is your inside access to this human being, this person you need to get to know and trust. It takes time. It takes patience. And it takes commitment.

What if we did that for ourselves? Dated ourselves. Took the time to get to know ourselves: Who we are, what we think, the stories that don’t serve us and the ones that do. Because we do it for random strangers on the Internet, but it’s only in getting to know OURSELVES that we can trust ourselves.

Getting to know yourself is a lifelong journey, but it’s the most important relationship you’ll ever have. You won’t regret it—pinky promise.

There is nothing like feeling seen, heard and understood by another human being—and there’s nothing like these humans being our friends. 👯‍

I know what it’s like NOT to feel like this with friends, and I know you probably do, too. But when I began rebuilding my life (and self-worth), the type of women I surrounded myself with became one of my biggest healing tools.

Your people should see you, hear you, get you and LIFT YOU UP. If they don’t, you need new people. Read that again.

Shout out to the bad a$$ biches in this picture. You ladies inspire, support and challenge me to be the best version of myself. And I commit to giving that back to you.

Beauty.

We tend to limit beauty to things we can see – the curve of a body or leaves changing in the fall. But what if beauty is meant to be so much more than something we see? What if we allowed ourselves to believe that beauty is also something we FEEL?

Truly experiencing beauty happened for me in therapy. I began to FEEL what it was like to be seen, heard and accepted unconditionally by another human being. And you know what came next? The ability to be seen, heard and accepted unconditionally by MYSELF, and, yeah, it was pretty f*ing beautiful.

Eventually I had the realizaion that the more we become connected to our higher self, the more we are able to feel BEAUTY in our day-to-day life. And when we FEEL beauty our capacity to access gratitude, forgiveness and compassion expands.

Knowing that beauty is ALWAYS accessible in every experience allows us to step in our fullest expression of self – all that’s required is a willingness to be open to it.

So, tell me, when was the first time YOU experienced beauty? Or have you?

Why is it we’re so RESISTANT to rest?

We all want it. We all NEED it. But when the time comes to press pause, we’d rather press play and say yes to the next holiday party or Do-Gooder event than give ourselves what we need. Because

I believe animals have rest figured out—because they listen to their BODIES, not their brains. Every morning baby Frank flops over in a stream of sunlight or cuddles on a blanket and snoozes. That’s it, he simply chooses REST.

I think we could all benefit from more of a pet mentality. Listening to our bodies (before they burn out from constant DOING and HOLIDAYING), and giving ourselves pockets of unadulterated rest.

Be honest: What’s your body telling you?

It’s crazy to me that people STILL laugh off feelings as touchy-feely or in some way inferior to intellect.

Feelings ARE intellect. They are a form of intelligence, an insight into what we’re experiencing and what we need to do for ourselves in any given moment. They are one of the most important tools we have to living life in the present.

But how do you use them, you ask? Great question.

You FEEL them.

As uncomfortable and painful as it can be, feel them. Just like we revel in happiness when we’re lucky enough to experience it, take time to feel into ALL of your emotions, even the painful ones like grief. It’s only in feeling our emotions that we can get to know them and what they’re here to teach us.

Don’t dwell there, don’t ruminate. But ask yourself: “Hello (insert uncomfortable emotion), what are you here to show me? What is it that I need to learn from you today?”

And then with curiosity and compassion: Listen.

When I began the journey of building a relationship with myself I had a lot of judgment about how lost I was.

It wasn’t until I was 32 that I awoke to the truth that I was living on autopiolet.

Until I wasn’t anymore.

When I started to lean in and discovery my autheinc self I started to FEEL what it means to love yourself.

I began letting go of the labels others had prescribed for me.

I saw that other’s validation WAS my source of security. And I stopped giving my power away.

You see, that’s the thing about waking up to your light … once it’s on, there’s no turning in off.

A double expresso? A daily massage? 10 hours of uninterrupted sleep? One million dollars?

I'll have one of each, please and thank you!

Seriously tho, when’s the last time you checked in with yourself?

If your answer is: “Um, never”. Or one of my personal fav’s, “Hum, can you like, repeat the question?” -- don’t stress. I’ll let you in on a little secret .. being alseep to our needs is a common human struggle.

Truth bomb: I was asleep for 33 years.

Yes. You read that right. Asleep. For thirty-three f*ing YEARS!

I've learned, begin able to slow down long enough and answer the question: “What do I need?” is a cornerstone to building a relationship with yourself. It is a cornerstone for getting unstuck and allowing yourself to cultivate the life, relationship or career you’ve been dreaming of. It is a cornerstone for making your life sacred.

Ladies, are you ready to live AWAKE!

If so, click that link in my bio TODAY. Let’s build the skills you need to honor your highest self.

Ever caught yourself looking at people you care about and think: “Damn, I really, really love these humans”?

Or do you catch yourself scrolling social media, day after day, fantasizing of a full and connected social life. Maybe you even find yourself wishing you had the time, energy, and connections to actually do something fun.

For many years, I was the latter.

It wasn’t until I faced the failing of a second marriage that I became painfully aware of just how lonely and isolated I’d become. Realizing this truth lead to one conclusion..

It was time to MAKE MY LIFE SACRED.

Building meaningful relationships with people who see and accept you is more than just a powerful experience, it is the foundation for attracting people and opportunities that align with your truest self.

Are you ready to find your tribe?

If the answer is HELL YES, click that link in my bio and let’s manifest that life you’ve been dreaming about.

I was numb.

I’d spent the last 10 years of my life living it on autopilot, from my career to my marriage. I’d done what was expected of me—by my parents, my husband, my boss—and I’d done it damn near perfectly. In fact, I was so preoccupied with being the “perfect” daughter / wife / woman by society’s standards, I’d forgotten to check in with myself.

Turns out: My standards were different.

I’d stopped doing the things that nourished me—friendships, hikes and bubble baths to name a few. I was in zombie mode, numb to the niggling feeling inside.

But ni**le it did, and I woke the f up.

That’s the thing about numbness. It’s not forever. And, if you let it, it can be your wake-up call—a warning sign that things are off. That YOU are off. And it’s time to get back to you.

The question is: Are you ready to listen to what your numbness is trying to tell you?

If the answer is a resounding YES, click that link in my bio, and let’s do the work to get your cute train back on the tracks.

It’s Monnnndayyy!!

And if you’re like me, it’s your first work day of 2021.

I was personally feeling excited & creative but when I sat down to begin I became overwhelmed with where to start.

Then I started feeling a bit unmotivated & all the sudden my “ideas” became unclear.

I ALMOST began to spiral.

Until I caught myself .. I paused & acknowledged I was feeling both excited & scattered & asked myself “what do you need?”

Today, the answer was to breathe.

So I did. And volia!

By acknowledging & following my body’s calling to pause & slow down I was able to become more centered, focused, & calm.

NOW, it’s time to attack today’s to-do list!

What’s happening here?!

We’re laughing. Attempting silly social media things, like burst & boomerangs.

Clearly we killed it.

But what this pic really captures is laughter, being silly, enjoying the moment free of fear or judgement.

When we're burned out, anxious, overwhelmed, or constantly criticizing ourselves our laughter falls to the waste side.

We’re so wrapped up in the chaos of ‘thinking’ and ‘doing’ that we lose touch with our ability to be present, have fun, and find joy.

If you recognize you need more laughter in your life then pause, take a few deep, slow breaths and give yourself permission to have fun today!

Move toward people and activities that make you feel at your best!

When we hear the word BURNOUT we intuitively know what it is.

And we immediately want to know what others are doing to overcome it.

Unfortunately, Western culture perpetuates the idea that inorder to consistently achieve, we must constantly “do”.

This leads to normalization of burnout -- “it’s just part of life, right”.

WRONG.

I’m here to tell you don't have to live your life being emotionally exhausted, feeling unhappy, cynical or stuck.

YOU CAN CHANGE THE COURSE OF YOUR LIFE.

Start with these 3 steps….

1️⃣ Acknowledge your life is not how you want or “thought” it would be

2️⃣ Find a helping professional you CONNECT with

3️⃣ Commit to the journey of knowing and love yourself!
..you can unlock your highest potential and a more beautiful life.

Standing tall, hold your arms by your side, with your palms facing forward.

Close your eyes and take 3 deep breaths.

Then ask yourself, "What do I want to stand for today?"

Self-reflection allows us to grow our understanding of who we are.

By asking, “What do I want to stand for today?”, we are giving ourselves permission to embrace the calling of who we are becoming.

Even better, we are giving ourselves permission to explore with curiosity and interest!

We are creating space for our highest self to become known.

Pause and reflect, so far today..what have you been telling yourself in regards to your appearance, competency, worth, intelligence or performance?

The way we talk to ourselves is critical -- it creates our reality.

If our internal dialogue consists of self-criticism, then we will treat ourselves with harshness, disgust, and negativity.

Similarly, if our internal dialog consists of self-compassion, then we will treat ourselves with respect, kindness, and understanding.

Mantra meditation can profoundly increase our ability to speak lovingly to ourselves, reduce stress, anxiety & depression.

Ready to give it a try?

Follow these steps:
1️⃣Get comfortable
2️⃣Set a timer, or turn on a playlist with a predetermined time frame (i.e. 10, 15, or 30 minutes)
3️⃣Pick a Mantra (keep reading for examples)
4️⃣Repeat your mantra for the duration of your practice!

My fav Mantras:
💥 “I love myself. My spirit is unique. There is just one ME!”
💥 “I am becoming the person I want to be. I work toward honesty & authenticity.”
💥 “My value is not diminished by the perceptions of others. I am perfectly, imperfect!”
💥 “All experiences are helping me grow.”
