Behind the BLUEPRINT

There are times when hope is not enough for us. Hoping for something better, for something to change, for someone to love us, seems like a crueler than cruel enterprise. Right after someone fails you again, right after you disappoint yourself, right after you lose something valuable – nobody wants to hope anymore. Yes, hope hurts, but it also transforms.

Check out this episode where we discuss methods and techniques that will keep your hope alive!

Our body speaks to us daily.  It tells us when we are tired and it’s time to go to bed. It tells us when we have been sitting too long or when it is time to use the restroom.  It’s a very useful tool if we actually use it as one. 

Check out this episode, your body is talking, are you listening?

The reality is that we live in a fast-paced world. We are taught that “accomplishment” means getting as much done in a day as you possibly can. However, too many of us don’t take the time to reflect on our accomplishments. When was the last time that you stopped and took a moment to celebrate and reward yourself? If you struggle with this notion, you aren’t alone.

This episode explores committing to celebrating who you are, loving yourself, and making it a habit to celebrate what you accomplish every day!
