When It Rains, Let It Pour
“Take a Ride Down Your River of Lemonade” When it rains, it seems to pour. This can leave us feeling overwhelmed and even drain our joy dry. How do we tackle these situations and what choices do we typically make? Do we fall victim to the perceived weight of the challenges or actively seek the […]
Unmask What Really Matters
Authentically Share and Unleash Possibilities Living in isolation hasn’t been so bad when you look at our situation with a silver lining. Admittedly, one area that I struggle with a bit is donning a mask to safely walk around in public. It is uncomfortable, awkward, and just outright strange. When wearing my mask, I feel […]
Ridding Them, To Become Us

“Feeling self-limited keeps us stuck while being limitless fills our world to the brim with opportunities” Certain phrases hold us back from living an authentic life or limit us from our full potential. I believe it is essential for people to start noticing the words that are unconsciously enabling them to settle for less. I […]
Why Focus on Happy
“Consuming happiness can be fun, however being consumed by happiness is exhilarating” We have been trained to think being happy is something that happens to us or is consumed by us.

Happiness Is Never Far Away
“When sharing our real, full self with others, we make connections that ignite a spark inside” I was stuck in a rut thinking I needed to get ahead, I wasn’t where I wanted to be and worked too many hours with little progress to show for it. My focus was on numbers and results, although […]
