Authentically Candid

The accessibility with technology has impacted us greatly, both good and bad. While it may be convenient, it has also allowed us to abandon many core values including respect for one another. I believe that in order for us to not only consider change, but actually take the steps and actions required, we need to understand others perspectives. We are so quick to be in a self serving mentality that we aren't always aware of the impact we are making on those around us. Today, I want to clear the air and help us all move forward in a positive way!

There will be a day that ghosting each other, standing people up, disrespecting others time and being clouded by our own privilege is just a distant memory. For the sake of our children, we must demand this of each other for we are their heros and mentors. We can decide today to change the narrative in which we tell ourselves. Come join me as I deliver different perspectives that can help us learn a new way!

I believe that together we can change the world. As women, we must make a choice to honor one another, give space for new creative ideas, praise the brave women around us and be confident within ourselves that there is room for us all. Can you imagine a world in which women are supporting women in all areas even when in direct competition? It's doable. Come dive in deeper with me!

One of my most favorite quotes by Theodore Roosevelt "The Man in the Arena" and beautifully explored by Brene Brown in her best-selling book Daring Greatly. 

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood...who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly."

If no one has ever told you, you should know that your mental health matters. Mental Health is not a dirty word nor should you be ashamed of it. I have experienced anxiety my whole life and depression at times and today I share with you what it's looked liked, what I have done to cope with it and why counseling and/or meds should never be feared. Trust me, I am the first to admit I was judgemental, I was uneducated and was proven wrong. I am here to help normalize mental struggles because we all have them at some point in our lives. It's not shameful to admit you are dealing with the hard. For some, it means things have progressed beyond what we can control on our own and we need further support. Learning how to ask for help is one of the greatest blessings I was taught. You are not alone. Join me as I dig deeper with this!

Motherhood has humbled me in so many ways. The blessings come every day, but so does the "HARD." For some reason, we don't always talk about the hard as if it makes us a "bad mom" if we have struggles. I want all the mamas out there to know you are not alone. I'm going to cover topics that I have either experienced myself or have observed including all the many worries we have, all the pressures we are up against, mom shaming, finding balance and an identity outside of being a mom, discipling, teaching life lessons and "the weight" that carries and SO much more. Let's dive into what this really looks like.

The comparison game is real, it's a struggle and it happens to most of us. What we don't always realize is when we are in the thick of it, consumed by it, it often robs us of our joy. It keeps us from reality and in this unhealthy place. There are so many things we try and measure ourselves up to from our bodies, to our hair, success versus failures, lifestyles, fashion, relationships, motherhood and much more.

It's unfair! All of it! It's unfair that we compare ourselves to about 1% reality of that other person. I dive deeper into what this looks like, why we need to choose to quit that comparison game and how you deserve to be so proud of who YOU are.

In reality, you could be comparing your Chapter 5 to their Chapter 30 or even a whole new book for them. Let's dive into this together!

Honoring the struggle in its entirety didn't happen overnight. In fact, extreme shame and blame came over me like a bad thunderstorm wreaking havoc in its path. I knew the only way to get through it was to lean in and feel it all.

I take you through one the hardest moments in my business really exposing all of me, the mess of it all when I let doubt create its own narration of what I thought was reality. Boy was I wrong, and thankfully so!

I walk you through the growing pains that I learned, setbacks as they happened, where I was mentally and emotionally as I was unraveling in every area of my life and how I learned to overcome it all. Finding peace from within was the unexpected blessing I now cherish in my life.

There are simple truths that we cannot deny. We often listen to lies we tell ourselves which usually are excuses that we believe to be true OR we take on "others" lies as if they are real and truthful. Sometimes we need gut checks to keep us from getting lost in all the noise of life. We are going to leave our excuses at the door today. If you are looking for some kind of permission to live life full out, here you go! No sugar coating here.

Letting go of our insecurities can be challenging. Societal pressures have been in front of our eyes for decades, but it was the day to day pressures that I grew up with that made me pick a part every inch of my body. Insecurities that I would have to pay for down the road in big ways.
