Release your Tension – Let it Go

February 21, 2025 Leave a Comment

The things that are out of your hands do not deserve a permanent home in the sacred sanctuary of your mind.
Release them with the grace of a woman/ man who knows her/ his worth, who trusts the sacred rhythm of life, and who understands that freedom begins within.
You were never meant to carry the weight of what cannot be changed, to anchor your heart to outcomes beyond your power.
Surrender.
You are meant to rise, […]

When you are Feeling Sad or Overwhelmed

February 21, 2025 Leave a Comment

Have you ever felt like you’re drowning in a sea of emotions, and no matter how hard you try to stay afloat, the waves just keep crashing over you? It’s a tough place to be, and I get it – we’ve all been there.
But here’s the thing: just like we wouldn’t hesitate to see a doctor if we had a nasty case of the flu, we shouldn’t hesitate to seek help when our mental health is suffering. […]

Being Different was your Strength All Along

February 21, 2025 Leave a Comment

Just imagine the 6-year-old, full of wonder and possibility. At that age, we’re all unique little snowflakes, right? Our quirks and differences are what make us special. But as we get older, society starts trying to put us all in these neat little boxes.
Conform, conform, conform – that’s the message we get from all angles. But you know what? That’s a load of malarkey! Our individuality, our ability to think outside the box, […]

Progress isn’t Always Loud

February 21, 2025 Leave a Comment

Do you ever feel like you’re working your butt off but not getting anywhere? Like you’re putting in all this effort, but the progress just isn’t as loud and obvious as you’d hope?
I get it, I really do. We live in a world that celebrates the big, flashy wins. The overnight successes and viral moments. But here’s the thing – real, lasting progress? That’s rarely a screamingly loud affair.
More often than not, […]

The Greatest Power

February 8, 2025 Leave a Comment

There’s no greater power than knowing who you are.
At its core, this statement is all about self-knowledge and self-acceptance.
It’s recognizing that true power doesn’t come from external sources like wealth, status, or accomplishments.
Nope, the real juice flows from having a solid understanding of your authentic self – your values, strengths, quirks, and all.
When you really know yourself inside and out, you move through the world with a quiet confidence. You’re not easily shaken by criticism or setbacks because you’re grounded in who you are. […]

How to Stop Being a People Pleaser – Steps

January 25, 2025 Leave a Comment

I know we all want to be liked and accepted, but constantly putting others’ needs before your own is a surefire way to burn out.
Trust me, I’ve been there – the endless cycle of saying yes when you really want to say no, sacrificing your own happiness for the sake of keeping the peace. It’s exhausting, isn’t it? And it carries a hidden cost.
But here’s the thing – you don’t have to live that way anymore. […]

The Hidden Costs of Being a “People Pleaser” – And How to Break Free

January 21, 2025 1 Comment

Saying “no” can be one of the toughest things to do, especially for those of us who are people-pleasers at heart. We want to make others happy, even if it means sacrificing our own needs and desires. But this pattern of constant self-denial can lead us down a dangerous path of dissatisfaction, numbness, and eventual burnout.
When we’re always saying “yes” to others, we’re essentially saying “no” to ourselves. We’re denying our true selves the chance to speak up, […]

Have you ever Known a Relaxed Woman?

January 18, 2025 2 Comments

Growing up, I was surrounded by phenomenal women. Productive women. Ambitious women. Loving women. Fierce women.
But these women were also stressed women.  Anxious women. Self-critical women. Exhausted women.
I saw how tired they were from trying to juggle it all — the career, the kids, the flat stomach and spotless house and home cooked meals.
I saw how they denied themselves rest until they felt like they’d earned it, only to feel lazy when they finally allowed themselves to slow down. […]

Afterwards, the Coffee Gets Cold

January 11, 2025 6 Comments

I would like to share with you a beautiful and significant poem about the inexorability passage of time, and what we can do to make the best of it. Enjoy
Barely the day started and
it’s already six in the evening.
Barely arrived on Monday
and it’s already Friday.
.. and the month is already over.
.. and the year is almost over.
.. and already 40, 50 or 60 years
of our lives have passed. […]
