Stop Self-Sabotage | Inner Child Exercise

Stop Self-Sabotage | Inner Child Exercise

An underused method to stop self-sabotage isn't about setting new goals or trying to convince yourself to do better. It actually comes when you send love to your inner child. Give this exercise a try and let me know how it resonates for you. If you try this consistently over a couple weeks - you will begin to notice shifts in how your approach your daily work, your goals and your weekly schedule! ;) This will lead to stopping those subconscious patterns of self-sabotage.

Enhance Your Ability to Receive | Feminine Energy Exercise

Enhance Your Ability to Receive | Feminine Energy Exercise

This would've saved some meltdowns years ago... Because I've had those moments sitting on the floow blasting the fray or eminiem and feeling SO overwhelmed. At the time, I was managing corporate growth, growing my coaching content, finishing my coaching certification. I was putting SO much pressure to gain more followers/get clients. The burden was making me lose my enjoyment and my WHY for my content creation/coaching. One gamechanger "as cliche as it sounds" was asking for help AND graciously recieving it. As go-getting people we feel that we need to accomplish all on our own but then we're drained. We're left wondering why the zest in life, the romance in relationships , or the connections with girlfriends has diminished.

So: Where can you lean into ASK and RECEIVE more help? This meditation will help you do just that :)

Increase Your Earnings Potential | Activate Your Voice

Increase Your Earnings Potential | Activate Your Voice

Babe, It's important to self-advocate EVEN if it "rocks the boat." This could be hard for many of us women who in the past felt our thoughts weren't valid or we had to keep the peace in the fam. But bringing this past behavior in the workplace only hinders success. For example...in a past work scenario, i'd think "how come I'm not in xyz position to showcase my skills?" -But did I advocate for myself and challenge when I didn't agree with certain performance evals? -Speak up for my ideas and my interests? -Clearly communicate expectations? & as mentioned, this becomes a lot easier when we remind our younger self that its safe to activate our voice now. We don't need to neglect ourselves and our thoughts anymore. Let's increase our voices and bank accounts, baby!

Protect Your Peace in 3 Steps

Protect Your Peace in 3 Steps

The ABILITY to BE with thoughts, views, perspectives that are different is healthy. Necessary. Just like, at times, you have those family members you who ove to death but are a bit draining. You could be left feeling like your own opinion isn’t valid. You need to: -Remind yourself that your perspective is VALID -Ground in your energy and have a mini practice you can do to stay grounded -Be a neutral soundboard to hear other opinions without letting them diminish your perspective. This is all that we work on in this exercise. Hope this is helpful, babe!

Stop Self-Sabotage | Inner Child Healing

Stop Self-Sabotage | Inner Child Healing

What if it wasn't a battle... with your older self. What if it was an HONORING... of all she had to go thorugh to be where you're at now. Sure, there may be behaviors or thoughts that you wish weren't there from your past...but your body is always acting on BIOLOGICALLY corrent behaviors to keep you safe. In other words, she did what she had to do to keep you safe in the moment. Can you build on that recognition? Can you build on that compassion? Just like any relationship once you infuse more respect and trust, the avenues for growth are endless. In order to conitnue to move forward in your baddie self...honor the lil baddie and all she did. ;) Looking for a tangible way to do so? This exercise is just the trick!

Healing Your Relationship w/ Men | Live Exercise

Healing Your Relationship w/ Men | Live Exercise

I’m not: a) disqualifying anyone’s experience b) trying to minimize any of the trauma that has brought on to you by men in your life c) putting any blame at all on your for these harsh experiences But I am do welcome personal responsibility for our healing. Everyone wants to talk about being the confident boss girlie, being a manifesting queen or self care routines… Yet no one wants to talk about the shit we have to face ourselves in order to heal and evolve. Because the truth is…its easier to put the blame elsewhere - someone else, something else, a whole gender group, etc. That’s easier than carving out the time to: -work through your triggers -know why certain things that men do set you off and working to heal them -learning about the different communication styles between men & women -learning your own nervous system and regulating so you can ease an anxious attachment style -working through the anger or rage still there from your relationship with your dad And this doesn’t happen overnight - its a lifelong journey babe! But the more we can shift from constant blame to: “Yeah I’ve had some really shitting experiences with men. But im not going to let that define my whole perception of them - I am going to work through the pain so I can clear my lens of that gender and open up to better experiences with better men! Because you DESERVE it!!! Listen to this powerful exercise.

Dating is Draining...Try This.

Dating is Draining...Try This.

Dating is sooo draining...


You’re in that mentality of 

-just getting to know people

-letting their actions prove more than words

-stopping yourself from wedding planning after the third date (ik you do this too girlll) 


You gotta invest just the *right* amount of energy so you're putting in effort while also not wasting your valuable time. 


It do be a process.


In the dating books I’ve read and in my certification learnings, the key to being magnetic when you're out and about (besides the obvious things like smiling, looking good) is that self-confidence.


& its hard to keep that cup full when you're dealing with all the above.


Soo this is an easy aid for you:


Pop your airbuds and play the latest stress-release exercise that's less than 10 minutes. 


You can when putting own you makeup before the date to  but its super helpful to bring your energy back to YOU, release externals validation and feel more excited about all that YOU bring to the table.


Take a listen to the latest Podcast Episode & let me know if this helps!

Enhance Your Feminine Energy | Work w/ Your Emotions

You’re feeling off, now what? School didn’t teach us what to do when we are navigating hard emotions like sadness, guilt or shame. OR How to savor and harness when we are feeling true joy & bliss. Getting in tune with your emotions is one of the KEY things you can do to feel more at peace, move to clarity and harness your feminine energy. This easy exercise will help you do just that and leave you with some journaling “takeaways” to do after. Disclaimer: This is not intended to be in substitute of seeking professional licensed help but merely as a resource. If emotions are feeling too difficult to navigate on your own, seek trusted, certified assistance and support.
