Feeling Stuck Behind The 8 Ball?

Feeling Stuck Behind The 8 Ball?

We all have those moments, seasons, and even lifetime feelings where we believe we’ll never get ahead or we’ll never be enough or we’ll always just be a step behind, and that, quite frankly, SUCKS. Let’s face it, we’re all humans having this human experience here on planet earth, and not one of us truly knows the key to ‘enlightenment’. Yes, from a psychological viewpoint we can identify triggering symptoms as to why we feel and respond the way we do, but in all honesty we ar

Help: A Two-Headed Coin

Help: A Two-Headed Coin

Help is an arm’s reach away and yet it’s one of the things we fear most doing. We fear no one reaching back. We fear appearing weak and incapable of handling things ourselves. We fear rejection. We fear shame. We fear ridicule. We fear hearing, “no”. We fear……….. So rather than feel any of the above we can often suffer in silence. We can slip into despair. We can become cold and aloof. We can even go so far as to not accept help because, believe it or not, we’ve created

Living Your Truth is Beautiful Messy

Living Your Truth is Beautiful Messy

How many have had a hunger, a desire, a deep-seated passion to do something, and have reached for it with you heart, soul, blood, and guts, and ended up feeling shattered, trampled and broken? I hold a very special place in my heart for people who give their all, lunge towards their dreams, rush into the unknown with abandon, trust their deepest soul’s yearnings, and shatter into a million pieces. This is the courage of a hero. A hero isn’t someone all flashy, flawless in t

To Cry or Not To Cry

To Cry or Not To Cry

Nowadays everything can be construed into something controversial for the pure sake of passionately arguing one side or another, and crying is amongst one of them. People cry for various reasons e.g., anger, arousal, cleansing, happiness, love, sadness, etc. We incarnated into this world with the unconscious thought of crying, but rather just do it naturally. As infants it’s our way of communicating something is going on. We do not begin to express emotional tears until aft

Taking Advice From Someone Who Doubts Everything.

One of the biggest challenges I see people make is struggling to ask for help. Why? It’s been my experience people feel weak, unworthy, or a burden to others if they ask for help. Moreover, people have reported when they’ve asked for help they’ve not received it. This brings up a number of possible explanations for the abovementioned reasons, but one of them is seeking assistance from Naysayers. Naysayers are those individuals who willingly give you their unsolicited opini

Your DESIRES Holding You Back?

Your DESIRES Holding You Back?

Everywhere you look these days on any social media platform there’s someone sharing success advice. Whether that is “Keys to Success”, “Success Strategies”, or “How to’s”, there is a common theme throughout that is centered on having a DESIRE and achieving it. This ranges from finding your one-true love, losing weight, living stress-free, to making a lot of money, etc. The aforementioned requires a DESIRE on someone’s part to want one or all of the above.

Isn't it time?

Isn't it time?

The Universe does not ignite our Soul; however, the Universe is our fuel. It's our job to ignite our Soul's desire, our Soul's passion, our Soul's purpose and the Universe supplies the fuel. We may not know exactly HOW to achieve our desires, passion, and purpose, BUT unless or until we ignite some spark in it, nothing happens. We MUST ask, take action, and receive in order for the fuel to be effectively ultilized. Will it be perfect? Probably not. Will it be easy? Probably n

Change, Love & Transformation

Change, Love & Transformation

In the mist of going through any form of change, we generally do not see immediate evidence of said transformation. Such a process is so personal and can feel daunting and unending at times. Yet one day upon waking we have this sudden realization that something has shifted, something has changed, an opening of sorts has occurred, and still there's a feeling of disbelief and uncertainity. This phase is the most fragile of them all as it's during this phase where we question ev

Suffer from Perfectionsim?

Suffer from Perfectionsim?

How many struggle with PERFECTIONSIM? In some ways I consider myself a recovering perfectionist. Yesterday I posted a quiz I created on a new platform I had never used before on one of my social media websites and asked for insight aka help. In the past I would have NEVER shared this quiz without knowing unequivocally it was FLAWLESS. And when I say flawless that often equated to never completing it at all. Why? Because I also SUFFERED from 'asking for help'. To utter the wor
