scrabble letters that spell perfectly imperfect

Letting go of being perfect 

Chasing perfection takes a huge toll on your mental health and wellbeing because it’s an impossible goal: Perfection doesn’t exist. Perfectionism is when you hold yourself and others to exceptionally high standards and strive for flawlessness even if “good enough” would do just fine. It’s often seen as an admirable trait, but for anyone who lives with it, not only…

A fresh new year 

Happy New Year! It’s January, which means we get a new beginning—a fresh start, if you will. I’m excited to welcome new opportunities while at the same time releasing the old things that do not service me.  Many of us like to start the new year with resolutions.

Celebrating the small wins, too.

When I work with my clients, I always make sure we celebrate their wins. A win can be many things—big or small. Sometimes people think only a big achievement is something to be celebrated, but that is simply not the case. I had a client that celebrated making her bed every morning as a small win, because it set the…

Laughter is the best medicine. 

Many of my childhood memories revolve around humor and laughter. I remember watching variety shows with my mom: Laugh In, The Sonny & Cher Show, and of course, The Carol Burnett Show. As I trace my way back, I remember watching I Love Lucy before Mom called us for dinner every day. And as I grew older, I found comedians to be a big part of…

Getting out of your comfort zone

I recently thought to myself, It’s time I started getting out of my comfort zone and experience new things once again.  When I think about experiencing new things,…

The power of affirmations 

Early on in my life, one of my favorite spiritual teachers was Louise Hay. She introduced me to the world of affirmations, and it was transformative. One of my favorite affirmations of hers was “All is well.” Whenever things aren’t going right, or seem a little negative, I remind myself that all is well. And upon thinking or saying these…

Self-Love is Self-Taught.

We’re taught a lot of things growing up, but I don’t recall a class on self-love. It doesn’t matter where you are in life or how old you are, loving yourself more today will have very powerful and positive effects.  Self-love is defined as regard for one’s own well being and happiness. Check in with yourself and see how you feel.  The…

The power of positive thinking

First off—what is positive thinking? It’s an emotional and mental attitude that focuses on the good as it relates to your life. When you focus on the good things you want in life, you’re training yourself to adopt an abundance mindset. Remember—every positive thought brings good into your life; every negative thought pushes good away. Being able to cultivate and nurture…

The Art of Manifesting

Growing up, I didn’t know anything about manifesting. It wasn’t until 2006 when I saw the movie The Secret that I learned about manifesting and the Law of Attraction. I realized I’d been manifesting for many years—I just didn’t realize I was doing it!  In simple terms, whatever you think about manifests into your life. Now armed with the knowledge, I apply…
