You are not probably going to believe this, but I am not much of a talker. In fact, over the years, I have become a super introvert! I think that is why the lockdown didn’t affect me the way it did so many. In being alone more, I have learned so much about myself. I…

Time To Do Some Deep Work. Me First!
Lately, I have been spending a lot of time working on being accountable to myself. I am always there for others when they need me. Whatever the issue. For me, I tend to take a backseat and I am actually tired of it…finally. Time to do some deep work! I can give the same care…
Am I Being Toxic To Myself?
We are always hearing people talking about toxic people and how we need to rid ourselves of them. We are good at giving that advice to others.

Talking about raising the temperature in a room! This has been a crazy year and add to it, it is an election year. I, like many of you, am looking forward to the end of it. I am so ready to feel normal and be normal…whatever that new normal is going to be. We all…

You Are Not Broken!
For many years, I really spent a lot of time doubting myself. Always wishing that I had a different body or looked different, had a better financial situation or a different life. It took me a moment but I did realize that I needed to accept myself, the way I was…right then. We have to…
I Stopped Chasing Perfection
I think have spent most of my adult life chasing a certain number in my bank account, a certain number on the scale…friends…careers…you know where I am going. I wanted everything that made me look like I had it all together. I know that I am not the only one. SO….what “perfect” thing have you…
