To Bury, To Dig - Part 1: Uncovering the Power of Choice Instead of Crashing Out
We can use our shovel to bury our pain, suppressing our hurt until it becomes forgotten, tucked away beneath the surface until we erratically crash out. Or we can use it to dig deep, uncovering our shadows, clearing away the afflictions that have piled up over time, and making space for our light to shine through.
The Mindset Makeover that Transformed My Mid 20's
Once I pinpointed those limiting beliefs, I moved on to writing a new story—one rooted in truth. As co-creators of our paths, one story that remains true for all of us is that 'we have everything we need to create the life we want.' This approach allowed me to increase my income, live more in alignment with my purpose, and achieve big goals like publishing my first book.
Trust Your Deeper Knowing
So many of us want to delve into uncharted territory. We know that the only way we can truly grow is by taking leaps into areas that we haven’t been in previously. Our plans for the new year fuel us up until we allow the self-doubt to take over. This experience can be marked by one simple internal dilemma. We don’t trust ourselves.

A Time To Reflect
Another year of life is a gift that should be spent not only celebrating, but also reflecting.
Unpacking Who You Think You Are
When our sense of self is not rooted in who we are authentically, naturally, and purely it can easily become another limiting belief for us.
Amerikkka Is Not Only Racist, It Also Lacks Depth
America is indeed racist, but it’s also been apathetic, complacent, silent, indifferent, and passive for far too long. An equally disconcerting truth has come to light in this country. It lacks depth.
You Won’t Find Peace Without Presence, Silence, & Stillness
The peace that we all have been seeking out is accessible to us right now, in this very moment. We’ll overlook it every time though, so long as we neglect the present, miss the silence, and move past the stillness.
The Pandemic: Tap Into Your Resilience
A friend and I were discussing what these past few months have taught us and one thing remained clear and consistent for me. Everything starts with me. As I’ve grown I’ve developed more and more of my own internal locus of control. That is resilience.
The Pandemic: A Flood of Feelings
It is such a privilege to experience and feel the spectrum of human emotion in such a short period. Yes, I said it, a privilege. We come out with a much more interesting story to tell. One that other people can feel.
