What does it mean to be in balance? That’s a question many have been seeking the answer to, and more importantly, the feeling and overall life impact of finding that balance.

While there are many ways to get there, one ancient medicine and lifestyle may hold the secrets and tools you seek.

That’s why I sat with Ayurveda expert and teacher Emilie Berger to chat about balance and how our lives interconnectedness, mindset, body, and harmony are found and created in small, purposeful increments. Emilie’s insights and daily tools can change your relationship with calm.

We live most of our lives in our heads, thinking, calculating, edging our way to the next, and in doing so, we often fail to be mindfully present and live according to our heart and soul connection.

Today, we make an effort to start the journey away from the mind and into a deeper, more soul-driven connection. I sat down with mindfulness and meditation teacher Fleur Chambers to talk about meditation, mindfulness, self-permission, connecting with the self, and what it takes to live in growth.

I sat down to have a riveting conversation with Psychotherapist Brook Bralove, who is a certified sex therapist. Get ready for a conversation that will open your mind as we break down how to have great sex, the female anatomy, the value of bringing tools into the bedroom, and we lean into what it means to be willing to try and how being open to having uncomfortable conversations could lead to a great sex life.

What does it mean to be radical and relentless? Once you know the definition, how do you get there? Being empowered is a full life shift and action. I sat down with therapist Allison Guilbault to talk about how we can step into our power and become radical and relentless with small shifts and focused attention that create massive movements toward loving yourself.

Let’s get right to it!

What does it mean to stay with yourself? Those are profound words with even more significant life implications. Staying with yourself involves personal integrity and self-respect. It means understanding and standing up for your beliefs and values and not yielding to the expectations of others. It’s a trueness that is raw, deep, and unquestionable.

But how does one do just that? I sat down with meditation teacher and coach Jessica Amos to talk about the ins and outs of self-discovery, staying with yourself, and leaning into the practices that feed you on every level, not just the one we show to the outside world.

Many of us struggle with the concept of being good enough. But, what if you are already good enough? While you may reject that idea in its entirety, I sat down with therapist Lisa Tahir to chat about connecting with yourself and proving your mindset wrong when it questions your worth and right when you are in alignment of what you need and want!

Let’s get right to it…

The ball has dropped, the calendar has changed, and it’s 2024. There’s so much possibility, potential, and energy waiting for you in this new here and now. So much, in fact, that today, you and I are taking a one-on-one deep dive into kicking off the year with a forward focus. We are trashing any lack mentality you’ve developed, tossing out the word resolution, and we are getting intentional about what you need and want.

So, let’s dive right in…

As 2023 winds down, we are turning our intentionality, focus, and desires to what is next. In every new chapter, there is something that must come to a close or be grown upon to take you to the next experience, the next level of where you want to be.

In doing so, there are often a few hard pills that you must swallow to get to that place. While growth is not the most comfortable thing we do, it is one of the most powerful. Today, you and I are taking a one-on-one deep dive into those hard pills and what to do about them so that you can build a life of accountability and self-authority, refusing to abandon your needs and desires, and find a space of stability that you simply haven’t had the tools to touch before now…

Sometimes we crumble under the pressure of “toomuchness,” where you feel the need and desire to slow down but ALSO don’t feel like you can or simply don’t know how.

If you feel like you are constantly running into a wall, you are not alone! Slow living is a conscious, effort-driven choice. That many of fail to remember is always available to us. The thing is, even the most mindful person can still struggle with giving themselves permission to slow down.

Today, you and I are taking a one-on-one deep drive into some of the signs it’s time for you to take a break and I’ll offer some grounded ways for you to care for yourself when you need it the most.

Anxiety, stress, and depression are all active in our world today, and none of us are actual strangers to any of these issues. Many people are living in fight or flight, in survival mode right now, and reaching inner peace feels nearly impossible, especially during the holiday season.

So today, you and I are going to take a one-on-one deep dive into turning inward and finding inner peace. It is not something that you can simply turn on. It’s not something that you decide to do, and then just do it. Inner peace is a state to be achieved.

It’s no secret that trauma changes us. What is a secret is how it changes your behavior, thought process, nervous system, and how it helped you develop ways to keep yourself mentally, emotionally, and physically safe.

I opened my computer and logged in to find an article that caught my attention on MSN entitled 10 signs that Indicate a Person Has Lived a Hard and Challenging Life (msn.com)

The article confirmed many of the behaviors I’ve encountered both with clients and even myself from my trauma. That’s why I thought you and I should take a one-on-one deep dive into the interesting things you may be doing without realizing it’s telling more of your life’s story than you may realize.

With the holidays here, there’s often an uptick in depression and loneliness.

So, this week we’re taking a one-on-one deep dive into what loneliness is, how it smothers our self-love, the difference between being alone and feeling lonely, and how to make small shifts to release feeling this negative emotion. Sometimes it’s as simple as realizing we are not as lonely as we think.

With two weeks left in the year, most of us lean into a natural thought process of evaluation—what went right this year, what didn’t, how we can do better, and what we want for the new incoming year. And while this focus is so prevalent, often something stops us from genuinely diving into this much-needed thought process. What is it? It’s the unwelcome holiday guests that go by the names stress, anxiety, and depression.

As we continue our series to wrap up the year, we are taking on how to prevent the end-of-the-year stress and depression this week, and then next week, we’ll uncover the correct way to write your 2023 vision as it is broken down into the fundamental areas of life.

Each of us has a set of basic human needs that must be fulfilled for us to thrive in our humanness—feeling safe is second in our primal needs on the need hierarchy. So, if I ask you what it means to be safe, most people give me an answer based on physical safety. Yet, what most people do not understand is that safety also expands into our mental, emotional, physical, and even financial pillars of life, which means that safety must be present for the well-being of our minds and emotional bodies.

As we continue our building series to close out the year, we’re taking a one-on-one deep dive into what it takes to feel emotionally safe, why it’s so important to create emotional safety, and, as always, we’ll talk about how to start the process of building emotional security with a few daily practices.

True self-love and inner peace are only possible when we have the ability to see ourselves and own our experiences without deep diving into a spiral of negativity, self-doubt, and emotional dysregulation. After all, self-validation is the ability to accept our internal experiences, thoughts, and feelings.

As we continue our building series through the end of the year, we started with loneliness last week, and today, we’re taking a one-on-one deep dive into self-validation. Being unable to validate our emotions, thoughts, and feelings keeps us from living an emotionally stable life, holds us in a state of perceived unworthiness, and keeps us from our emotional best.

This week we are breaking down and trashing the barriers that keep us from validating ourselves, our emotions, and our thoughts.

With the holidays here, there’s often an uptick in depression and loneliness.

So, this week we’re taking a one-on-one deep dive into what loneliness is, how it smothers our self-love, the difference between being alone and feeling lonely, and how to make small shifts to release feeling this negative emotion. Sometimes it’s as simple as realizing we are not as lonely as we think.

There comes a time where each of us seeks true motivation to heal—a time where we work to release the baggage, the upset, the hard experiences of our lives, and reignite our inner spark. Yet, when that time comes, many of us ask how. How do I even begin to heal? This week we are taking a one-on-one deep dive into YOUR personal story, into YOUR life revolution through a process and path many of us are seeking right now—the process of emotional healing. So, sit back, grab a pen, and let’s take a mending journey together as we discover what true emotional healing is, the benefits, uncover a major “a-ha” moment, whether or not you are in need of walking through this process, and why we must get uncomfortable to thrive. Getting out of own way is necessary if we want to create the life revolution that inevitably amounts to freedom.

Are you the boss of your emotions, or are they the boss of you? The ability to experience and express your feelings is far more critical than you may realize. Learning how to develop emotional understanding and control is a fundamental part of getting your life together, practicing self-love, and it’s the only authentic way to find a steady stream of inner and outer peace. This week we’re taking a one-on-one deep dive into the impact of your emotions, and then I’ll hand over a simple practice that will stop an emotional reaction in its track every single time.

What would you say if I asked you to name five things you’ve learned during your self-love journey? Could you do it?

It’s a huge question that makes most women stop and reflect. Self-love is an ongoing lifelong journey, but there are definite lessons to reflect upon because loving yourself is not something that only happens in your heart and mind; it’s also found in your actions, beliefs, and the way you show up to your mental, emotional, physical, spiritual, and financial well-being and health.

This week we’re taking a one-on-one deep dive into fairly universal lessons that loving yourself teaches you and how to recognize that you may love yourself a bit more than you’ve given yourself credit.
