Ya ever get that inkling that something just isn't

Ya ever get that inkling that something just isn't right in a relationship, no matter the kind?⁠
⁠
Part of you knows that you don't feel good when you're around this person or trying to connect with this person, and yet for some reason it feels hard to discern what's going on?⁠
⁠
Sometimes when you're so invested in a relationship, another person, or an idea you have of that other person, it can be challenging to identify and acknowledge when a relationship has become unhealthy. ⁠
⁠
Being in an unhealthy relationship can significantly impact your mental health, your overall well-being and cause you to question yourself. ⁠
⁠
Letting go of unhealthy relationships can be really hard, but dang is it important to learn how to do. #trustyourself You are worthy of love, and healthy relationships that lift you up!⁠

Sorry to break it to ya, but it's true. #feelingal

Sorry to break it to ya, but it's true. #feelingallthefeels might actually help you in the long run - when you do it with intention, mindfulness and curiosity. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
How many times have you had the experience where you've tried to brush past something that was coming up for you - the mounting stress, the jabs from a partner, the sadness as you're grieving - and then one day, seemingly out of no where, it hits you like a tidal wave that you can't avoid??? Everything just hits at once and it feels even more overwhelming. Every little thing is now a BIG thing...⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Being with, looking at, getting curious with yourself, your emotions and your thoughts will help you in SO many ways. You can learn. You can heal. You can give yourself permission to feel it. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Remember - no emotion is permanent, and we are all "in process." ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Think of it as the beauty of living, the joy of becoming more and more you through your life experiences. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
The next time you feel like you should just push down how you're feeling to get on with your life, come back to this post. Save it for your toolbox on those hard days! ⁠⁠

"Can't you just TELL me what I should do?!" ⁠
⁠
Ever find that you constantly question yourself? You double check with someone before every decision. You wish someone else could just tell you what to do so that you have clarity on how to move forward, and if things don't work out, well then, it wasn't really your fault??⁠
⁠
Maybe you look at others who seem to move through life so sure of themselves wondering how they do it, and questioning what's "wrong" with you that you can't be like them? ⁠
⁠
Maybe you tell yourself that you're just not ______ (cool, smart, creative, worthy, unique, calm) enough to actually be a self confident and self trusting person. ⁠
⁠
I work with so many clients who feel paralyzed by their self doubt, constant anxiety, LOUD self criticism and comparison to others. ⁠
⁠
I'm here to tell you that "confidence" is, and isn't the answer. TONIGHT at 7:30pm ET I'm hosting a FREE WORKSHOP talking about why so many find themselves living from this mentality, how it impacts your mental and emotional health and 4 steps you can take to develop more self confidence and self trust (in a non-icky, genuine way 😉 ). ⁠

"But what if it doesn't work out?" ⁠ "What if I

"But what if it doesn't work out?" ⁠
"What if I look like an idiot?"⁠
"What if they think X about me?" ⁠
⁠
This question comes up a lot... What if you really try, stand for your values, go after a life that is truly aligning and meaningful to you, and things don't work out perfectly? ⁠
⁠
Well, then you will have lived a life where you stood for, and went after what mattered to you (!!!!!)⁠
⁠
Sip on that one today! ⁠
⁠
I know the thought of disappointment, criticism, failure, or embarrassment can feel daunting. It can fill you with the looming anxiety, dread and discontent that just seems to linger. ⁠
⁠
But in pursuit of emotional well-being, mental health, and heck, overall life satisfaction, taking risks and standing for what matters to you, +++ who and how you want to be during your time on this lovely planet is SO impactful! ⁠
⁠
I'm hosting a FREE WORKSHOP on Monday 2/15 where I'll walk you through 4 Steps to Develop Self Confidence and Self Trust so that you can release anxiety, overwhelm and self doubt. Imagine what that would feel like? What might be possible for you when you live from a space of internal confidence and trust?⁠
⁠
This is your invitation to step in, and journey with me! Sign up FO FREE via the link in my bio! ⁠

P.S. Share this post and invitation with someone that you see SO much amazing light in, who could use some support in seeing it in themselves. We're in this together!

This is one of my favorite quotes because, DANG, i

This is one of my favorite quotes because, DANG, it speaks so much power, freedom and goodness. ⁠
⁠
I've learned that the vast majority of us don't want to cause each other harm. ⁠
I've learned that we also don't do well with "taking shit" that isn't ours to carry (even when we're taught to). ⁠
⁠
The truth though? ⁠
⁠
Even when we don't intend harm, we'll likely cause it at some point. ⁠
⁠
Even when we intend to "take no shit" you may find yourself swimming in ALL the shit to avoid hurting someone else, disappointing them or potentially portraying yourself as imperfect. 🙄⁠
⁠
Welcome to life here on Earth! ⁠
⁠
The thing that is KEY is coming back to yourself, your truth, your heart in the tough moments. Re-center, re-calibrate, re-connect to your innate worth and value. ⁠Then try again. Do no harm. Take no shit. ⁠
⁠
Say it with me?? Do no harm, but take no shit. Repeat a million x over!

Reminders from the waves:⁠ ~ breathe in. breathe

Reminders from the waves:⁠
~ breathe in. breathe out. let that be enough sometimes.⁠
~ you never know what all lives beneath the surface (of the ocean, of yourself, or of someone else).⁠
~ some days are calm and still. others a storm is raging. it's all allowed. it's all of value. ⁠
~ people look at you and see beauty, peace, possibility, opportunity.⁠
~ you're here for a reason even when it may not be obvious why.⁠
~ you don't always know where you're going or how to get there. that's okay. what matters is that you keep moving - no matter how fast or slow, calm or reckless that movement feels.⁠
⁠
WOWZA. The messages nature can hold when you pay attention. ⁠

What do you feel when you look at the ocean waves or your favorite kind of nature?
