One of my biggest insecurities in this world is around money. Honestly it is. The reason? I messed up pretty big when it came to finances many years ago. It’s not something I am proud of, or even something I like to talk about, however, I believe it happened for a reason. I am now…

Good Enough is the New Perfect
I will open this post by admitting that I am a recovering perfectionist. I am, it’s true, and it was really bad. I wanted my life and everything in it to be perfect. Absolutely perfect. No waves. No imperfections. Let me tell you about the pressure, stress and anxiety that came with having this narrative…
My Reflection
Have you ever sat down and just had some reflection on the year. This has been something I have wanted to do, but I could not find the time or head space to do so. Then the most interesting thing happened. We lost power at our house AND my children are sleeping. The house is…
Finding Me Time Without the Guilt

I Love Counseling
I have a Counselor. Actually, I’ve had many throughout the years and I’ve loved them all. Each helped me in different stages of my life. I guess I should note, I didn’t love them all. If we didn’t make an immediate connection, I moved along. So those that I stayed with, I loved them. I…

A wise woman once told me, you need to start your day in offense instead of defense. Not being a sports fan, I had to actually Google the difference so I could understand what she meant by this. Then it hit me. Waking up at the same time as my kids really did start my…
It’s Not About the Number
I have always been a person that is obsessed with the number on the scale. Always. Even if I tell myself it is not about the number, or that muscle weighs more than fat. I still get on the friggen scale. Why? I guess I like the torture? Who knows. It is a constant shame…
I’m not self disciplined- 20 limiting beliefs I believe today.
Have you ever heard of the term limiting beliefs? I was introduced to the concept this year, however, have lived with them without knowing my entire life. The definition that resonated with me, “a false belief that a person acquires as a result of making an incorrect conclusion about something in life.” Huh, sound familiar…
