We all have ups and downs, and it’s no secret that life throws hard things into our path. After all, why do you think the saying, “Bad things happen to good people,” exists? Yet, when those hard things occur, how we connect to them and how we fix our mindset plays a significant role in the moment and our overall life satisfaction. It also impacts one other major element in our lives. Can you guess what it is?

If you guessed inner peace, you are right.

So, let’s take a one-on-one deep dive into our mindsets and whether or not you play the victim in your daily life. This is an extensive conversation about identifying the small daily behaviors and habits that create the biggest divide between feeling empowered and feeling negatively impacted, I’m handing over the signs that you are living in full victim mode, and of course, we’ll be talking about how to change course from victim to victor.

we’re taking a one-on-one deep dive into why the brain is always on the lookout for trouble, how to stop being hijacked in hopes of providing a false sense of safety, and we’ll breakdown how to disentangle ourselves from our earliest patterns, wiring, and our triggers.

This big conversation will shed light on why you may be causing yourself more issues than you realize!

We’ve reached the end of 2022. It’s been a year of MANY things. A year of growth and loss. A year of seeking and change. A year of revolution and finding ourselves to the point where many now ask: what next?

What is next? What would your ideal life look like if you could envision come this time next year? Have you ever taken a moment to clarify what you truly want? Have you taken a moment to break down the five pillars of your life and write a vision list?

From intentionality to a life mission statement to deep diving into what you want to create in the next twelve months, we are setting ourselves up for the most tremendous success possible, which always leads us to deeper self-love and inner peace.

With two weeks left in the year, most of us lean into a natural thought process of evaluation—what went right this year, what didn’t, how we can do better, and what we want for the new incoming year. And while this focus is so prevalent, often something stops us from genuinely diving into this much-needed thought process. What is it? It’s the unwelcome holiday guests that go by the names stress, anxiety, and depression.

As we continue our series to wrap up the year, we are taking on how to prevent the end-of-the-year stress and depression this week, and then next week, we’ll uncover the correct way to write your 2023 vision as it is broken down into the fundamental areas of life.

Each of us has a set of basic human needs that must be fulfilled for us to thrive in our humanness—feeling safe is second in our primal needs on the need hierarchy. So, if I ask you what it means to be safe, most people give me an answer based on physical safety. Yet, what most people do not understand is that safety also expands into our mental, emotional, physical, and even financial pillars of life, which means that safety must be present for the well-being of our minds and emotional bodies.

As we continue our building series to close out the year, we’re taking a one-on-one deep dive into what it takes to feel emotionally safe, why it’s so important to create emotional safety, and, as always, we’ll talk about how to start the process of building emotional security with a few daily practices.

True self-love and inner peace are only possible when we have the ability to see ourselves and own our experiences without deep diving into a spiral of negativity, self-doubt, and emotional dysregulation. After all, self-validation is the ability to accept our internal experiences, thoughts, and feelings.

As we continue our building series through the end of the year, we started with loneliness last week, and today, we’re taking a one-on-one deep dive into self-validation. Being unable to validate our emotions, thoughts, and feelings keeps us from living an emotionally stable life, holds us in a state of perceived unworthiness, and keeps us from our emotional best.

This week we are breaking down and trashing the barriers that keep us from validating ourselves, our emotions, and our thoughts.

With the holidays here, there’s often an uptick in depression and loneliness.

So, this week we’re taking a one-on-one deep dive into what loneliness is, how it smothers our self-love, the difference between being alone and feeling lonely, and how to make small shifts to release feeling this negative emotion. Sometimes it’s as simple as realizing we are not as lonely as we think.

As many as 31 million people worldwide are dealing with some form of addiction, whether it’s drugs and alcohol, food or shopping, gambling, and a host of other behaviors that disrupt their lives and change their behavior. While addiction costs many emotional, mental, physical, financial, and spiritual well-being, the impact on the caretakers is not often accounted for.

The toll is tremendous and undoubtedly works to dim our spirit and often costs us our self-love. That’s why I sat down with Dana Golden, who wrote the book on the Road to Recovery, not only the addicted but also the caretaker. We chat about everything from the emotional cost to how to take care of yourself.

There comes a time where each of us seeks true motivation to heal—a time where we work to release the baggage, the upset, the hard experiences of our lives, and reignite our inner spark. Yet, when that time comes, many of us ask how. How do I even begin to heal? This week we are taking a one-on-one deep dive into YOUR personal story, into YOUR life revolution through a process and path many of us are seeking right now—the process of emotional healing. So, sit back, grab a pen, and let’s take a mending journey together as we discover what true emotional healing is, the benefits, uncover a major “a-ha” moment, whether or not you are in need of walking through this process, and why we must get uncomfortable to thrive. Getting out of own way is necessary if we want to create the life revolution that inevitably amounts to freedom.

Can you honestly say you use your voice and live a life of yeses? Many women struggle with allowing their lives to be what they desire and deem most important.

This week I sat down with Jill Hollander, a resiliency coach who teaches women to find and use their voice. Her unique story of heart failure, a heart transplant, and surviving cancer will move and inspire you as she explains where our voice is first developed, how to be our own advocate, find our unshakable courage, and what it feels like to live a life of yes!

Are you the boss of your emotions, or are they the boss of you? The ability to experience and express your feelings is far more critical than you may realize. Learning how to develop emotional understanding and control is a fundamental part of getting your life together, practicing self-love, and it’s the only authentic way to find a steady stream of inner and outer peace. This week we’re taking a one-on-one deep dive into the impact of your emotions, and then I’ll hand over a simple practice that will stop an emotional reaction in its track every single time.

What would you say if I asked you to name five things you’ve learned during your self-love journey? Could you do it?

It’s a huge question that makes most women stop and reflect. Self-love is an ongoing lifelong journey, but there are definite lessons to reflect upon because loving yourself is not something that only happens in your heart and mind; it’s also found in your actions, beliefs, and the way you show up to your mental, emotional, physical, spiritual, and financial well-being and health.

This week we’re taking a one-on-one deep dive into fairly universal lessons that loving yourself teaches you and how to recognize that you may love yourself a bit more than you’ve given yourself credit.

This week we continue the conversation with Emotion & Body Code Expert Jennifer Bradford in Part 2 of our dive deep into how emotions influence our daily lives. We’re taking you on a journey through understanding the subconscious and its power to release what may be trapped and what you may be broadcasting into your experiences without even realizing it. Jennifer even hands over a powerful practice that you can try today.

Do you make sound decisions and bounce back quickly when hard times occur? Unfortunately, most people struggle with doing so because they are missing one fundamental daily practice that helps them thrive when life brings a storm their way.

What is it? It’s the practice of daily resiliency building.

This week we’re taking a one-on-one deep dive into what resiliency is and how we can mindfully create a practice that helps us not only elevate our thinking and emotional stability but also helps us when we experience massive, unexpected changes like the ending of a relationship, the loss of a job, or even the death of a loved one.

Resiliency is more than bouncing; it’s a life skill built, so we have it when hard times occur. Today I’ll show you exactly how and it is so simple you can start using it today!

Emotions give us humanity, and although we often make the mistake of classifying them into only negative and positive, every emotion is necessary and valuable as they influence every part of our daily lives. We make decisions based on whether we are happy, angry, sad, bored, or frustrated. We choose activities and hobbies based on the emotions they incite. Understanding emotions can help us navigate life with greater ease and stability.

But what happens when our emotions become trapped and are left unhealed? I asked Jennifer Bradford, an Emotion & Body Code expert, that question. Together we deep dived into what emotions are, how they can rule our lives, and how each of us has the power to shift any emotional experience no matter how long ago the event took place.

Your thoughts are powerful. They create your reality, but if your thoughts are not based on truth, the reality you create is off-balanced and holding you back.

This week we’re taking a one-on-one deep dive into examining the common lies we tell ourselves, why these powerful misdirectors show up in our lives, how they run against our ability to love ourselves fully, and how to break up with these mistruths once and for all.

The road to self-love often comes with both endings and new beginnings. Yet, the ends tend to undo us and make us doubt our worth, abilities, and self-esteem, especially when talking about our most intimate relationships.

In continuing our search for building self-love, I sat down with my friend, Laura Patricia Martin, the host of the Happy and Healing Podcast, as she and I moved through what it takes to have full ownership of ourselves, self-love, steady relationships, and then we leaned into the important of self-inquiry.

Let me ask you a question: What do you see when you stand in the mirror? Do you like the way you look? Do you immediately notice your perceived flaws and begin to feel upset with what is before you?

Body image is not merely superficial. It can be so intense that it dysregulates your emotional well-being and mental and physical health, while it creates a storm so big that you struggle to find balance, self-love, and inner peace.

We are taking a one-on-one deep dive into loving ourselves from the outside in! First, we’re unpacking the one mistake most women make when loving their physical form, and it’s different than you might think. And then, we’ll talk about how to change your relationship with yourself so that you can elevate your life.

Have you ever asked yourself, “Why am I here?” “What is my purpose?” Or worse, “How did I get here?!”

Not knowing your purpose or how your life has been molded into something you cannot recognize as yours directly challenges self-love, inner peace, and overall life fulfillment. The trust is taking steps, no matter how small, to live in alignment with our soul’s purpose can drastically change our inner and outer world in ways we can’t even imagine.

To go a step further, to get your life together, you must know what you want and where you’ve been. That’s why I sat down with soul-centered mentor Clarie Campagna to talk about the long-term impact of feeling stuck and uncertain of your life’s path and how each of us can start to identify our needs, passions, and ultimate purpose.
