If you’re a parent of a teenage girl, I invite you to join me at the 2022 Best Mom Ever Summit, a free online event for parents featuring a collection of expert speakers (including yours truly!).

Healing is multifaceted and complicated.

A big part of healing old injuries is going back in time and allowing ourselves to re-experience the old pains through the lens of our present self.

As many of you may know, my account was suddenly disabled last week with no warning or reason given. Needless to say, it was upsetting and stressful. One of the hardest places we’ll ever find ourselves is when we’re facing uncertainty. Uncertainty is a tough place to be because we can’t begin to cope with whatever outcome because we just don’t know what we’ll be dealing with.

Often, when we notice ourselves having a big reaction to something seemingly small- we know there is an old, injured part of ourselves coming online. Dealing with feelings of unworthiness often comes from an old, younger place- because that’s the time when these beliefs took root.

A little reminder why therapy can’t fix you- because you are whole. Worthy. Just as you are.

Hi friends! Today is my birthday and I thought I’d take this time to reintroduce myself and express gratitude for this amazing community of people.

Birthdays have always felt so complex to me- especially as I get older. They are unequivocally tied to time and the passage of it, which makes this day feel more and more reflective as the years go by.

Slowing down and noticing our thinking is one step towards noticing our inner wisdom- our inner knowing.

I had a post a while back about noticing how many of us tend to judge our “down-time.” I suggested reframing rest and celebrating the time we take to y self-care in this way. We need to rest. It’s a form of productivity in many, many ways.

I hear a lot of people describe that they feel “mean” setting a healthy boundary. Here’s a little reminder that that’s not an accurate thought.

Perspective can be so powerful. The word “and” helps us get there. We can have limiting beliefs, a hard day...AND deeply know our resilience and strength.

Some emotions get a bad rep. Jealousy is one of them. I think a lot of people experience shame around feeling jealous. If we can see past the shame and allow ourselves to be curious about jealousy- it’ll be quite interesting and informative as to what we find.

We need kind discipline to pursue goals and get things done (even the small goals- like doing the laundry or dishes). We don’t need perfectionism to get things done. That actually can be a greater hindrance in the long run because of burnout and lower satisfaction.
