Instead of allowing toxic relationships, negative thought patterns, or the pace of life to consume you, decide what results you want and go after them.

When we choose to practice mindfulness, we can all feel more calm and grounded.

We all have to learn healthy boundaries. When we do, we will begin to thrive in our personal lives and in our relationships with others.

Parenting isn't for the faint of heart. We learn and grow every single step of the way. But here's the beautiful truth . . . we don't have to be perfect. That’s why I want to share three ways you can practice self-compassion in these hard (and short) years of raising those littles.

I am passionate about helping others get unstuck. Whether it’s emotionally, physically, relationally, financially, or any other domain of life, being stuck feels lousy. It creates angst and panic as we know we are created for more, but we don’t know how to get there. We build resentment, feel rage, or settle in apathy, because we feel hopeless and helpless.

It’s important to know and understand ourselves and the people in our lives. Thankfully, there are thousands of personality tests that are built for this purpose—to help you understand yourself and the people you love most.

As humans, we were created with the desire to live lives that are full of meaning. This is what I like to call “living on purpose.” And living on purpose means living a life that’s aligned with your values, beliefs, passions, and strengths.

Strong relationships are a crucial part of living a full and meaningful life. Without human connection, we feel empty, sad, and depleted. Just knowing we have someone in our corner soothes our primal need to belong and feel protected.

As we’ve recently walked through unusual times, it’s become more apparent than ever, how important family is. Our families have shifted in this screen-time culture, and it’s taking a toll. Families are more disconnected than ever. The biggest culprit? Our devices. Colleague and therapist, Stacy Jagger, lays out a powerful way to get your family back by putting your devices down.

The stories we tell ourselves are powerful. They impact our feelings, our actions, and our reactions. They bleed into our relationships, our work, and our own mental states. The problem is that oftentimes, these stories aren't true. Here’s how to tackle your inner critic.

Perfectionism is the enemy of contentment and the author of anxiety and stress. At its extreme, perfectionism is never satisfied. Nothing will ever be good enough. That’s why I want to share three mindsets you must embrace to let go of toxic perfectionism and shake off the stress.

Most of the women that I work with in my practice, whether they are counseling or coaching clients, have a tendency toward comparison. And let’s face it: in today’s world of social media, it’s difficult to avoid. If we’re not careful, comparison can show up in our souls—especially when we don’t realize it. Not only that, it leaves us feeling less than, anxious, and unworthy in the eyes of the world. Combating comparison and rooting it out of our lives is crucial to our mental, emotional, and physical health.
