Boundaries are necessary for all of us, but sometimes we can have too many. Chances are if you grew up in a family that didn’t have a lot of boundaries, you want them now. Or if you have ever been in a relationship where you felt like you were disrespected most of the time, then […]

Are you running your life, job, or business on empty? You have so much to do, but feel like you have nothing left to give. So instead of slowing down, you push and try harder. Reaching for anything that will give your energy a quick boost, such as caffeine, chocolate, or carbs. And when you […]

Who else feels like they have been hit with repeated stressors lately? I know I’m not alone in this. Experiencing repeated stressors on top of being a business owner, helping professional, and/or a parent navigating a global pandemic has been A LOT! When stressors come up, I used to immediately dread, brace, and tense up. […]

We sabotage ourselves in many different ways. Not because we want to live a life of misery, but because we are trying to protect ourselves. We go to great lengths to avoid unpleasant feelings, sensations, and experiences. And we really don’t want to engage in anything that reminds us of ways we were hurt in […]

Did you know that one of the ways we try to protect ourselves from hurt and pain is by criticizing ourselves? I’m serious! I know it doesn’t make sense to put ourselves down or be hard on ourselves if we are trying to protect ourselves. Because we actually create more hurt by doing so. And […]

Many of us are so ready to say “Goodbye” to 2020. It’s been a year like no other. Whether you wore masks or slippers and sweats every day, we have collectively grieved and adapted to so much. There has been much to come to terms with both socially and economically. And often we get to […]
