Yes and No are big words when we are looking at who we want to become. Don’t be blown by the winds of other people’s lives. 

When people are not the way we hoped they would be, it can cause us many struggles. Each one of us has people we wish were different. How do we cope with this pain of wanting them to be more than they are?

We all get triggered. It’s uncomfortable when we do because the emotions are usually not the fun ones. At the same time, getting triggered is a powerful sign. 

There is a lot of research showing us how vital friendships are to our lives. But how many do we need to be well and happy?

Mother’s Day can be tricky for many of us, and our relationships with our mothers are as different as each of us is different.
Self-mothering is a way to take care of yourself. Some people never really outgrow their relationship with their mothers. If you feel like your mother has been controlling and critical, or even abusive in some way, it's normal to have trouble taking care of yourself. This can manifest as not setting boundaries, having trouble saying no, and feeling anxious about making decisions. Self-mothering is a self-nurturing practice that helps us heal by identifying our wounds and letting go of negative emotions that we've been holding onto for years. It's also about learning how to treat yourself as an adult who deserves love, attention, and care just as everyone else does! In today’s podcast, I share a special and powerful piece of writing about our relationships with our mothers and encourage you to join me in a unique habit-changing process that I am embarking on.

It’s been another big week, and there is a lot of noise on the world stage, especially in the USA. It might be time to look again at how you are showing up amongst the noise.

Nothing can stand in your way when you know where you’re going. But change also takes a shift in mindset. Sometimes we need to set things up in our minds so that we can change quickly.  

Emotions are an integral part of being human. We all experience them, and we all want to be able to understand and express them—not just to others but also within ourselves. And while emotions can be difficult to understand, they can also be a source of great joy and healing. They aren't always logical or rational, which makes them hard to explain to others. Understanding your emotions is a skill that can be learned with practice and attention. You can learn to recognize your own emotions and understand them better, which will help you manage them more effectively. Emotions are an integral part of being human; they're what make us feel alive! But sometimes, we get caught up in difficult feelings that don't serve us well--and learning how to work through those feelings can feel like an impossible task. In today’s episode, we will discuss facing your emotions.

No matter how down we feel, there is a source of happiness available to us. It gifts us in 2 crucial ways. 

I’ve been contemplating a lot over this past week about happiness. It made me want to sing Hallelujah at the thought of how we can have it. 

This week I am taking a much needed rest. So, I wanted to give you the 7 most listened to podcasts over the last 2 years. Today’s podcast is one of those 7. I hope you enjoy it. 

When we dive deeper into our emotions, we can find a deeper understanding of ourselves and our past. They help us move beyond our thought patterns and get a better sense of what's going on in our lives. To move beyond these patterns, we need to dive deeper into our emotions and feelings. We can't move on from our past if we don't understand it. And this requires a certain level of vulnerability: being willing to feel uncomfortable in the present moment so that we can better understand why we feel the way we do and how those feelings affect us. This isn't easy; it takes time, patience, and practice. But by diving deeper into your emotions--the good ones as well as the bad ones--you'll be able to see yourself more clearly than ever before!
When we are upset, or someone is upset with us, there is a quick way to get to the source of what is going on. In today’s episode, this is what I am going to teach you. We will discuss the importance of looking beyond the surface and exploring your emotions. It's not always easy, but it can make a big difference in how you feel about yourself and the others around you.
Diving deep into your emotions and feelings is an important part of healing from the past. You can't move on if you don't understand how the patterns in your life were formed, and why they continue to affect the way that you act now.
