Take Time for Gratitude and Stillness Oct 09, 2023

Welcome to Monday, for some a holiday, for others another working day.

Let it be a day of gratitude and reflection for all of us.

A day of letting go of perfectionism, and understanding that you, my friend, are good enough as you are.

Your turkey doesn't need to be "better", your mashed...

Choose to Live - Monday Motivation Apr 10, 2023

Happy Monday!

How often have you heard, or even said yourself, "I would die for my family"? (If not family, maybe insert "child", or "spouse", or even "cat".)

When it comes to our loved ones, many of us say that we would die for them. But the reality is, dying is easy - we only do it once. What's...

Motivation Monday - Constant Busyness Isn't Productivity, It's Trauma Feb 13, 2023

“Feeling the need to be busy all the time is a trauma-based response and fear-based distraction from what you’d be forced to acknowledge and feel if you slowed down.” - Maxine Carter

Isn't this the truth? Unfortunately, I do speak from experience. It wasn't until I slowed down...

Motivation Monday - You Are Worthy of Healing Feb 06, 2023

Save for when you need this. 

“I couldn’t heal because I kept pretending I wasn’t hurt.” - Timothy Heard

Stop pretending. 

Start healing.

I say this from experience as well. 

For so long I denied my hurt. 

I pushed...

When the Going Gets Tough... Jan 16, 2023

Folks, it’s been a rough morning.
I spent over an hour filming a video for the website, only to find out, despite my tests beforehand, the video had no sound and I’ll have to do it all over again.
I discovered that, despite testing the links in my weekly email when I set it up last...

Motivation Monday - Why Progress is NEVER Linear! Nov 07, 2022

So many of my students and coaching clients tell me that it is so hard to reach their goals because they can't stay motivated, or that they lack the discipline to see them through. Here's a video on why 100% motivation and discipline aren't really the keys to your success.

Motivation Monday - Don't Compete, Learn Jun 27, 2022

Welcome to a new week, a new day, a new breath to make the life you want for yourself.

It's a time, right now, full of potential.

And, also, though we may hate to admit it, fear.

We open social media, we see the news, and we see people doing what we are already doing, but better.

We see people...

Motivation Monday - Don't Be Good Jun 20, 2022

Welcome to a new week, and a new chance to make the future you dream of a reality!

Now I know you're thinking of a lot of things - all you have to do for work, family, house, and whether you have the time to "do it right".

Because I know you have standards.

I know you want to be good - at the...

Motivation Monday - Falling Helps You Succeed May 16, 2022

Falling.

Failing.

It hurts.

It sucks.

We avoid it at all costs - after all, we were taught that in school, if we fail a test, or fall off the monkey bars, we're not going to pass our classes, we're going to be laughed at, we aren't going to be "cool", or "rich" or, "successful".

So we do...

Motivation Monday - Make Your Movie Life May 02, 2022

Welcome to a new month, new week and new Monday!

This week will go the way you want it to - you have a choice to follow the flow or create your own reality.
