Are you exhausted from putting everyone else before you?

January 4, 2024

Now that the holidays is over, maybe you got a chance to reflect back on how it went.

End of 2023 Share

December 27, 2023

Here’s a little bit of my end of year share… As I sit in my bed I thought, How is it almost 2024? Didn’t we just start 2023? Maybe for most people, they feel like, rah rah… let’s look at our accomplishment! And yet my judgemental brain would still come down strong on me. Then […]

What if you’re a magical creature, but other people have convinced you otherwise?

December 16, 2023

To be quite frank with you, it’s super difficult for me to write these posts and share my stories. I’d been working on showing up. And each step of the way is like pulling teeth! Last night, I came across this short clip from One Piece, and I want to illustrate what it means to […]
