Celebrate Your Wins. All of Them!

Ever wonder why it's so easy to remember the bad things that happen to us but so hard to remember all of the good? Let me tell ya why!

A Twist on My Type A Tendencies

Career, Happiness, Relationships

Sometimes old ways aren't always the best way! Learning to look at life from a different point of view.

You DO have some choice. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ You have a

You DO have some choice. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
You have a choice in how you respond. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
You have a choice in how you show up for yourself, and the world around you. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
You have a choice in taking loving self responsibility for yourself, your well-being, your life.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
This is not to say that you "choose" everything that happens to you in your life, not at all. Sometimes terrible shit happens and that's a really tough reality of life. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Choice, in my opinion, is one of your greatest personal assets because you have the opportunity to choose again, in each moment, in how you move forward with the information and the experience you now have. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
You can't go back and change the past but you can choose to meet yourself here, now. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Choice can be sticky because you can't know how one decision might impact the next (where are my future trippers at?! Always wanting to predict what could happen, playing out every possible scenario?!) ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Here is your STRONG reminder that you can take the pressure of yourself to know what's next and to have the perfect plan. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Loosen your grip and remember, your job is to do the best with the information that you have right now. It's more than enough. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Instead of worrying about every what if, ruminating on the past or trying to control what's outside of your control,⁠⁠
I invite you to pour that energy instead into intention,⁠⁠
intentional choices, ⁠⁠
intentional compassion, for self and others, ⁠⁠
intentional exploration. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
It's all here for you, right now. 🌞⁠⁠

I’m here to revolutionize mental wellness - to bridge the gap between mental health and personal growth ⁠
so that you can move from feeling anxious, ⁠
constantly questioning yourself, ⁠
and riddled with “shoulds” ⁠
to embodied, trusting and confident as you create the life you truly desire. ⁠
⁠
When did we all agree that we have to reach a certain level of “bad,” before acknowledging that shit’s not feeling so great?? ⁠
When did the expectation form that you should be able to navigate your life, the ebbs and flows, the moments that crack you wide open, and the ones that seem to lift you to a different universe all on your own? ⁠
⁠
That’s a big eff no from me. ⁠
There’s SO much more to you, to life, than that. ⁠
⁠
This is the impetus for the work that I lead in the world now, ⁠
to meet you in the in-betweens,⁠
To make space to honestly be with and look at what feels hard, challenging and confusing,⁠
To remind you that there’s no such thing as “bad” enough ⁠
and that your desire for something more, something different is valid whether you’re experiencing anxiety everyday or you have a calling on your heart to grow in a new and different way,⁠
It’s all allowed and welcome here, all intricate parts of you!⁠
⁠
And actually, life gets to feel amazing when you are able to release a lot of the unhelpful, unrealistic bull shit you may have adopted from the world around you and past experiences you’ve had. ⁠
⁠
Grounded to My Core is my private coaching container. I use a blend of therapeutic and coaching techniques to support you with a holistic, whole person approach. ⁠
It’s the most intimate way to work together. ⁠
⁠
You will leave this experience a different person than when you begin. ⁠
You will see yourself and your life from a new perspective. ⁠
You will feel deeply connected to what matters to you, and how you can use that to guide the decisions of your life, as you learn to quiet the noise around you.⁠ ⁠
⁠
There are currently 3 spots open for private coaching for the final time this year. If you’d like to explore working together in this intimate way, DM "GTMC" to apply!⁠

Growing into new seasons of life!. This whole year

Growing into new seasons of life!. This whole year has felt like a new season for me, brimming a new edge, a new understanding of myself.

I’m thrilled to share that I am opening up 3 spaces for private coaching for the final time this year. I’ve been thinking a lot about how to share and communicate this work & what coaching is all about.

Something I really enjoy doing is putting words to experiences that feel intangible, making understandings and learnings that feel far away, feel so palpable you can taste it on your tongue.

As I’ve been reflecting on why I do what I do and how i got here, how this mission of revolutionizing mental wellness and helping more humans deepen their relationships with themselves to live life more fulfilled and purposeful, I thought of all of the evolutions I’ve been through, the seasons I’ve been through, metaphorically and realistically.

This became really clear to me at my brothers wedding a few weeks ago, thinking about all that’s to come, all the ways we’re changing, the families were building independently, and together. I wonder where we’ll end up. The people we will continue to become and how life may surprise us.
Simultaneously tomorrow we fly out to San Diego for a close friends wedding, a place that is so significant to me from when we lived there. It’s where a lot of this work began. For me, first. And now, I share even more of myself here.

See growth has different layers.
There’s the kind that happens just by living, just by experiencing life. You can grow and change consciously or unconsciously.
But my mission is for the ones who want to grow consciously,
The ones who are ready to wake up and tap in,
The ones who know life doesn’t have to be a series of struggle and sucking it up to get by.

It lives beneath the anxiety, beyond the shoulds and around the stories you carry about yourself or this life that feel heavier than they need to be.

I’m here to show you this.
I’m here to walk alongside you as you move consciously into a new season of your life feeling the most supported you’ve ever felt.
I’m here to show you that home and trust and capability and safety, it lives within you.
Once you feel that, know that, and live that, anything

Wrapping up the past three days of BEYOND BOUNDARI

Wrapping up the past three days of BEYOND BOUNDARIES with a full heart and even more connected to this work + this community. ⁠
⁠
I wanted to share a few takeaways we worked through during the training incase they might resonate with you. ⁠
⁠
Your mental well-being is interconnected to SO many things - how you view yourself, the experiences you’ve had in your life, how you talk to yourself and about yourself, the relationships you have in your life, your sense of safety, how you communicate with your body (and vice versa). It’s complex and nuanced at times.⁠
⁠
The value of getting to know yourself, and doing this internal work, is that you become more and more empowered. ⁠
You get to use your voice more.⁠
You get to claim those boundaries unapologetically, with integrity and compassion.⁠
You know how to navigate the emotions, the fears, the feelings, the thoughts in a more fluid way. ⁠
You have radical permission to be the imperfect, incredible human that you are,⁠
And share more of that with the world. ⁠
⁠
Together, we shift this culture. When one begins to do the work to change how we communicate, receive and perceive each other, it has a ripple effect on everyone around them. If you’re here, let’s walk this path together. Here’s to shifting the conversation around mental wellness and deepening the relationship you have with YOU so that you can live a life that deeply aligns and fulfills you. ✨

Mental wellness often begins when you realize you

Mental wellness often begins when you realize you don’t have to keep doing things the way you’ve been doing them, that you are free to change and to learn at any moment. ⁠
And also, that you don’t have to go it alone. ⁠
⁠
You were never meant to spend your whole life suffering. ⁠
You were never meant to live from anxiety, stress, struggle and constant striving. ⁠
⁠
There’s so much around you telling you who and how you should be, the next “right” step, what you “should” be working towards, or checking off by now. It’s a lot of pressure and expectation to live up to at times. And for what?⁠
⁠
When was the last time you paused to question all the noise, all of the “shoulds,”⁠
To explore what’s really working for you, ⁠
What you truly desire,⁠
The type of person and life you know you can lead. ⁠
⁠
That voice inside that tells you it doesn’t have to feel this way, is right. ⁠
Lean in there. Let it surround you. ⁠
⁠
You can choose to start again, start differently in any moment.⁠
You can learn to understand yourself, your emotions, thoughts and feelings, more deeply.⁠
You can make any type of shift you’re desiring in your life. ⁠
⁠
I know because I’ve seen it happen for so many! ⁠
Tag a friend in the comments who could use this message today. Let it land. ⁠
Let it shift something within you!

I often find myself talking about onions in my work… (hang with me). ⁠⁠
So often we’re striving, ⁠⁠
striving to get somewhere⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Maybe a place where you feel more confident, less full of doubt,⁠⁠
More empowered, less timid or shy, ⁠⁠
More supported, less surface level,⁠⁠
More intentional, less monotonous,⁠⁠
More happiness, less pain + struggle.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
And maybe you’ve had progress in these areas, or at least moments of it, ⁠⁠
But then life happens and you find yourself staring at a familiar mountain, ⁠⁠
Wondering how you got back here. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
But I often think of humans as onions, peeling back layers, meeting more of yourself, again and again. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
And rather than staying at the outer edges of the onion, ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
I invite you to peel it back,⁠⁠
To get honest with yourself, even when it may smell a little or make your eyes tear, ⁠⁠
I invite you to peel it back, ⁠⁠
To come alive, to be all of you, more of you. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Honesty starts with you and you,⁠⁠
Then you share that with the world around you. ⁠⁠
Your whole world and sense of well-being can change when you get honest,⁠⁠
You look at the layers. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
