Sending love to those missing loved ones in Heaven 🙏🏼❤️✨. May their ever lasting presence bring you comfort and strength, and beautiful memories give you the courage to carry you forward.

Our departed loved ones always seem to find a way to let you know they’re ok, and will continue to support you on your healing journey. Some may take longer than others, but trust the process if you’re open to it.

There’s also no right or wrong way to grieve the loss of your loved one, or even how long it may take before the pain becomes “bearable”. Go at a pace that feels right for you, and honor your emotions and internal guidance, especially when seeking support.

Your heart always knows the way ❤️.

My heart always goes out to people who are kind, empathetic, and wise because I can appreciate the darkness they had to overcome to radiate the beauty, light, and depth they embody today.

IYKYK- I see you beautiful, keep going 🦋🦋🦋.

Self-compassion, empathy, and self-forgiveness are a must in this journey. We all do the best we can with what we know, and starting now is better than never.

Survival of the fittest mentality. When the bullied becomes the bully. When the abused becomes the abuser... It’s a form of self-preservation. When we don’t feel safe to be ourselves. When we don’t feel accepted as we are.

We see examples of this everywhere, especially in various world events. Hence the saying, “History always repeats itself.”

But it doesn’t have to be this way.

We may not have control over a lot of things in life, but we can control the role we play in our own healing journeys.

Just like small steps lead to big results, measurable change around us always starts with us doing our part. By doing the inner work to heal, learn from our past experiences, and becoming the best version of ourselves.

Healing is hard and messy. But I promise it is worth the effort.

P.S. If you’re further along in your healing journey, you likely realize some survival-driven behaviors of your past. If so, don't underestimate the power of reaching out to those you may have hurt when you didn’t know any better. It can be an incredibly healing and freeing experience for both parties. We may never get the apology we need, but offering it to others contributes to healing the greater collective.

Sending you so much love and empowering energies on your journey 🙏🏼❤️✨.

It’s always a sign to dig deeper and ask yourself WHY. They ALWAYS tell on themselves.

For survivors of abuse and traumatic life events, boundaries can feel overwhelming and challenging to implement. When done properly, healthy boundaries can serve as an empowering tool in protecting yourself from harmful behaviors of others.

It took years of healing, self-awareness, and cultivating of self-love and self-worth before I realized how crucial healthy boundaries were in both professional and personal relationships. I'm grateful for the growth and hope this video can give you a blueprint to help you get started.

So in this video, we’ll be diving deep into the concept of healthy boundaries, and why it’s one of the most effective ways to cultivate self-respect and balanced relationship dynamics.

By the end of this video you’ll be able to create a “Boundary Response Toolbox” of scenarios and responses you can practice with!

This video is divided into 3 parts:
👉🏼 In part 1, we’ll define what healthy boundaries are and why it's especially important after traumatic life events and/or healing/spiritual journey.

👉🏼 In part 2, we’ll be walking through the 5 Practical Steps for Setting Healthy Boundaries and practice saying “No”.

👉🏼 Part 3 covers 4 Common Boundary Scenarios you may run into on your healing/spiritual journey, and sample responses to get you started.

Implement these tips to define and set healthy boundaries, and practice your own variation of the responses to enforce them like a BOSS 😎.

Sending you so much love and empowering energies!
