True North
Your true north is more than just a direction; it’s a journey towards understanding who you truly are, what you value, and what brings you joy and fulfillment. It’s about identifying your core beliefs and aligning your actions with them, leading to a life that feels genuine and rewarding.
Glow-Up
Perhaps the most significant aspect of a glow-up is its emphasis on self-love and acceptance. It's about recognizing your worth and celebrating your unique qualities and strengths. In a world that often tries to dictate our worth based on external standards, a glow-up is a powerful reminder that true beauty comes from embracing your authenticity and owning your story.
A New Dawn
Reinvention is about courage, the courage to question, to change, and to step into new territories without the fear of age holding you back. Age can often feel like a limit imposed by society, a marker that supposedly dictates what can or cannot be done. Each phase of life offers unique insights and experiences that can fuel your transformation in powerful ways.
The Collective Power of Women
In 2016, a unique constellation was formed, not of stars, but of passionate coaches who came together under a single unifying banner, Sweet 16. This wasn’t just a random gathering of professionals, but a heartfelt assembly of individuals committed to uplifting and supporting each other through the twisting paths of personal and professional growth.
Igniting the Spark Within
In the heart of every woman burns a spark of self-love, waiting to be ignited. For too long, many of us have been accustomed to placing ourselves last, nurturing everyone around us while neglecting our own needs. If you're on the brink of your self-love journey, feeling foreign to the concept of prioritizing your well-being, you're not alone.
Finding Beauty in the Bedhead
Ever had one of those mornings where you look in the mirror and your hair seems to have plotted against you overnight? Where no amount of brushing, combing, or styling products can tame the wild beast that is your mane?
A World in Need of Joy
The world is a complex exchange of light and shadow, joy and despair, peace and conflict. Acknowledging this duality is not about diminishing the gravity of suffering but about affirming the resilience of the human spirit.
Stardust within Us
Have you ever marveled at the night sky, those twinkling stars whispering the secrets of the universe? There's a profound, almost magical truth hidden in their glow, but we too, are made of stardust. There’s a spiritual confirmation of our connection to the universe, it's a reminder that within each of us lies the potential for greatness. If we are made of the same stuff as stars, how can we be anything but extraordinary?
Bubbling Over with Joy
In a world that often demands we hustle through our days, finding moments of pure joy can seem like a quest for a hidden treasure. Yet, sometimes, this treasure lies not in grand achievements or milestones but in the simple delights that life offers. For me, this joy is captured perfectly in bubbles.
Dark Shadows
In the quest for self-love and personal growth, we often focus on cultivating positivity, embracing our strengths, and nurturing our passions. However, I’m learning true self-love requires us to journey deeper, into the world of our own shadows.
Unlocking Your Inner Hero
Each of us carries within a distinct blend of talents, insights, and heart, our superpowers. These aren’t just skills we’ve honed over the years but are reflections of our deepest selves. They’re what make us shine brightly, even in the darkest of times, providing hope and inspiration to those around us.
The Parent Trap
Motherhood is a journey that reshapes the heart, soul, and the very essence of our being. It's a role filled with unparalleled love, boundless dedication, and the constant juggling of needs, wants, and dreams; both ours and those of our little ones. Recently, as I watched my grand-daughter for five days and nights, I was whisked back to the days when I was a young mother, navigating the hectic yet fulfilling waters of parenting.
Beyond the Score
A score of 1 out of 5 on the relevance of material stood glaring back at me (1 being the worst and 5 being the best). For a moment, it felt as though all the positive energy had been sucked out of my heart. Shocked and momentarily disheartened, I found myself questioning everything.
Be Yours
As the month of love blossoms around us, with its heart-shaped confections and red roses, let's not forget the most profound love affair we can ever embark on; the one with ourselves. February, with Valentine's Day at its heart, is often draped in the language of love shared with others. Yet, it's a poignant reminder that to pour out love abundantly, we must first fill our own cup.
In Their Shoes
During the session I led the group through a powerful visualization exercise, and encouraged each participant to step into the shoes of the clients, feeling their struggles, aspirations, and experiences. This exercise wasn't just about understanding their needs but about connecting with their humanity on a deeper level. As Henry David Thoreau eloquently put it, “Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other’s eyes for an instant?”
Under Their Wings
In the quiet whispers of the wind and common everyday life, I have always felt a presence, ethereal yet profoundly reassuring, the presence of angels. Their existence, woven with threads of faith and mystery, has been a source of fascination and comfort in my life. As a life coach and spiritual seeker, I cherish the idea that these celestial guardians are with us, silently guiding, protecting, and enriching our lives with their heavenly wisdom.
Manifesting Your Desired Life
In a world bustling with endless possibilities and paths, how often do we pause and ask ourselves, are we truly living the life we desire? It’s a world that often emphasizes what we have over how we feel, and it's easy to forget that the essence of life is not in the material, but in the experiential. The art of manifesting isn’t just about acquiring things; it’s about creating a life that resonates with how we want to feel and who we aspire to become.
Unfolding a New Chapter
Creating a new chapter in your life is like being the author of your own story. Each decision you make, every goal you set, and all the small steps you take are the sentences and paragraphs that fill the pages of this new chapter.
