Talk To, Not About

Talk To, Not About

How many silly fights would be solved by this simple direction. Really, this is life changing. This is the main thing I hear in schools, “she said this...”, “someone told me she did that...”, “I don’t know why she’s acting like this...”

I am Perfectly Imperfect

I am Perfectly Imperfect

Whenever I see myself in a photo, my instant reaction is usually what’s wrong with it 🤦‍♀️🙅‍♀️. It’s like we’ve been programmed by our culture to expect one skewed version of perfection, nothing less.

Reframing our Perspective

Reframing our Perspective

here’s a few ways you can reframe and get freedom this week... No matter what we go through, we can reframe it and find freedom. We get to choose our focus. We get to choose our perspective.

Don't Forget, You're Human

You Define You

Loving Ourselves

How often do you only see flaws, like laser vision, missing all your beauty and strength and only seeing disappointments. I know I have!

Letting Go Of 'Should Be'

We all get trapped in "shoulds", "woulds", "what ifs"... but you don't have to be anything other than who you really are.

I didn't feel accepted because I didn't accept myself.
