When you wake up in the morning, what do you say to yourself? When life throws you lemons, what do you say to yourself? When you’re feeling afraid, feeling angry, worried, unsure…what do you say to yourself? Believe it or not, you are always talking to yourself. Your mind is constantly feeding you things…good or bad. What you tell yourself on a regular basis is the root of how you feel and how you behave. So today I want to give you a few mantras and even scriptures that I hope you say to yourself daily to ensure that you are feeling good and you’re behaving in a healthy way, and I hope to inspire you to say it loud.

Change is good. Change is beautiful. Change is necessary…but man…change is HARD!

Tis the season for cookouts, pool parties, celebrations, family reunions, and so many get-togethers. Except…we kinda can’t. Life is different, and we aren’t able do the things we normally love to do with our family and friends. This reality can be a bummer and lead to feelings of loneliness. While loneliness may not sound like a big deal, it can have negative effects and cause you to have some not so good feelings and symptoms. In today’s episode, I want to talk to you about the effects of loneliness and how to stay connected, even during these unprecedented times and I hope to inspire you to show up.

How many times have you had a good idea and told someone about it only to be told all the reasons why it won’t work? Or how many times have you thought of doing something perfect for you just to do research and see person after person say that it’s a bad idea? Far too often, we let the opinions and experiences of others keep us from doing what it is we know we need to do. In today's’ episode I’m going to discuss the dangers of only listening to other people and I hope to inspire you to trust yourself.

So over this past week I’ve had so many conversations with women from all walks of life. Through counseling sessions, speaking engagements, emails, and DMs I’ve heard from women from all around the world, literally, and through those conversations, I’ve learned one very important secret and that is that most of you have the same feelings. Woman after woman whom I spoke to expressed the same concerns and they were all rooted in fear, worry, and anxiety. In today’s episode, I want to help you by giving a few pointers on how to handle the anxiety that you may be feeling and inspire you to get out.
