So often we feel a smidge of discomfort and want to BOLT as fast as possible in the other direction... ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
OR we feel so powerless to it, we just melt when it shows up. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
How can you be WITH the discomfort in a way that it doesn't define you? Being with discomfort is a practice (like ohhhh so many other things in life). ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
And it's a practice that you may not have learned if you were taught to instead push it away, ignore it, OR make it all look better by finding the "fix." ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
What if today you reminded yourself that it's okay to feel unsure and uncomfortable? What then? ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Are you ready to start feeling more empowered, confident, grounded in your life? To let go of the anxiety, the self doubt, the constant comparison and never enoughness that seems to run the show right now? Beautiful! This is the core of the work that I do in the world.

Feeling anxious and mixed emotions as life starts

Feeling anxious and mixed emotions as life starts reopening with COVID-19? You’re not alone! It makes so much sense to be feeling anxiety and confusion as restrictions begin to lift.

In this video, I share tangible tips on how to cope with coronavirus anxiety as life opens up again. LINKED IN BIO 🤗

COVID has stirred up so much anxiety and stress throughout this past year. Your mental health may have been impacted, and now it feels hard to know how to deal with the anxiety of getting back out into the world. You might notice you feel different, what you like doing is different, what you’re comfortable with is different and navigating all of it feels hard and scary. Let’s talk about it!💗

This is something I have been and, continue to, wo

This is something I have been and, continue to, work on consistently. Here's why: ⁠
⁠
Gut check with yourself...⁠
⁠
What happens when you need everything else around you to look a specific way BEFORE you allow yourself to do X, Y, Z, even when you know that XYZ is what feels right for you??⁠
⁠
How does it feel when you're waiting on someone else to be some way or do a specific thing in order for YOU to feel loved, competent, enough (fill in the blank)? ⁠
⁠
How much of you life do you spend waiting, questioning, seeking approval, grasping for validation outside of you? ⁠
⁠
What are you losing when you do that?⁠
⁠
We are conditioned to latch onto everything and everyone outside of ourselves to achieve some level of certainty, control - AKA safety. ⁠
⁠
And at some point(s), that likely has been necessary and helpful. ⁠
⁠
I'm not here to say that we don't need each other as humans, or that the circumstances of our lives don't impact us...⁠
⁠
What I am here to do is shine a light on the fact that a lot of what you're seeking comes from within first and foremost. ⁠
⁠
My life always transforms when I embody a new level of this understanding. ⁠
⁠
I started saying no to things even if other people thought it was lame.⁠
I set out to do the work that is deeply meaningful to me even if others thought it was risky and unwise.⁠
I "followed the boy" when it felt right, even if it didn't match up with an ego version of the life I once imagined for myself. ⁠
I have learned more ways to use my voice, to speak my truth, even when it felt unsettling and unfamiliar. ⁠
I let go of the need for control and certainty in the moments when all I wanted was a "plan" for what's next. ⁠
⁠
THEN ⁠
I had the space to feel, to live, to be, to grow and see things from a new perspective. ⁠
⁠
But if I kept waiting for everything to look pretty first, I'd be living a very different life right now. ⁠
⁠
And this is what it's all about, isn't it? We can't CONTROL all that much, except for how we guide ourselves, how we tend to ourselves, our needs, our emotions, our desires, etc. ⁠
⁠
Let go. Stay true to you. Find peace. Drop a 💓 if this is something you're consistently practicing as well!

Dream with me for a minute… What does “living

Dream with me for a minute… What does “living a good, full life” actually MEAN to you? ⁠⁠
Where do you feel it in your body? ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Can you see it? ⁠⁠
Can you imagine it? ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Now, when the mess, the weight, the pressure, the anxiety of the world, of your own expectations enters into the picture, where does that desire, that longing go? ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
If you’re anything like me, sometimes it can feel like two totally different planets. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
How do we support the dream, the possibility, the feeling of possibility in coming to life when right now the reality is that it can all feel so heavy? ⁠⁠
How do you walk with yourself in that moment? ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
It’s a transformation of trust. It’s a connection within. It’s learning to understand that while some of our thoughts, feelings, emotions are completely valid, we also get to decide and discern how we interact with them. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
There’s magic here because it takes you out of the stuckness and into the living, the being, the moving, the shifting. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
So many of us really just want to LIVE, want to feel free. It starts by going inward my love, by learning how to navigate the normal and inevitable ups and downs. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
THIS is why I do this work... Walking with you as you get to know more of yourself, the true you, not the “shoulds,” not what the world told you you need to be, but the you that is ready to come through more fully. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Ready to step in? Amazing. Foundations of You Coaching Program is open for enrollment via the link in my bio! I can't wait to walk with you!

A few notes to keep with ya if it feels helpful!⁠⁠
⁠⁠
If you're feeling a ton of mixed emotions as restrictions begin to lift, the weather gets warmer, and spaces begin to re-open, how understandable!!! It's absolutely okay to not feel the same, to not be "the same" as you were pre-COVID. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
We are continuing to face many nuanced, unique and challenging situations with ourselves, the people and the world around us. Communication, compassion and grace with yourself and others is key. ⁠⁠

DID YOU HEAR THE NEWS?! MY YouTube channel is back

DID YOU HEAR THE NEWS?! MY YouTube channel is back in action! Talking about, naming and exploring the things that people don't really like talking about is my jam. For real. It's important. It's #mentalhealthawarenessmonth so let's get to work on de-stigmatizing the parts of life that often feel so challenging, and anxiety provoking. If you've tuned into my stories, you know I tend to cut straight to the point (with love and compassion - of course!). ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
This week's episode is building on the conversation we had last week... How to Let Go Of and Outgrow Friendships. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Forcing yourself to stay in friendships that don't feel good doesn't typically end well in the long term. It can feel really hard to navigate the discomfort that comes with letting go, creating more space and outgrowing people... but it's also normal and important. It doesn't make you, or them, a bad person.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Let's talk about it! New video linked for ya in my bio. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
If you haven't already, be sure to subscribe or share it with someone who could benefit from these types of conversations around tangible, realistic mental health practices and learning to trust themselves more and more.
