Today's meditation we take a look at π¨ππ‘π-π‘π€π«π. It is important to note that ππ°π·π¦ is different than ππͺπ¬π¦. Just because you are showing kindness towards yourself dos not pretending to like yourself if you don't (that's a whole different topic). The journey of loving yourself can be very challenging, and will look different for everyone.β Today's episode I share one of my personal favorite ways to show compassion, kindness, and love to myself. I hope you enjoy it as well. . . Have ...

What does it mean to live a balanced life? Between work, sleep, friends, family, rest, etc., life can feel overwhelming, complicated, and out of balance.

In today's episode, we talk about a balanced life. I invite you journal or reflect during today's exercise on what a balanced life looks like for you, and the changes yo...

"Courage is not the absence of fear, but the ability to be afraid without being paralyzed." There is a difference between fear that keeps us alive and fear that keeps us from living. In today's meditation, we are focusing on honing our courage: the part of us that moves forward with bravery and boldness in order to face the fears that keep us from living. . .

Anticipatory Anxiety occurs when we begin to feel stress, worry, or fear about something that hasn't happened yet.

Join me for today's episode to approach anticipatory anxiety in a new way, providing a little more clarity, and a little less stress. . .

As humans we experience some level of anxiety - fear, worry, stress. Anxiety can be extremely overwhelming, so we often find ourselves trying to avoid it.

Over the next 5 weeks I will be inviting you to meditate on anxiety. For this first meditation, we will identify the anxious self, or the part of you that experiences anxiety. Creating separat...

"Who am I?" You may find yourself asking this question and coming up with many different answers. The answers come from the many layers within our Self. There is the self that seeks to protect, the self that seeks to avoid, the self that seeks to soothe. Internal Family Systems Theory (IFS) explains that we have many "parts" to our Self. A part is every experience that we have: every thought, every feeling, every sensation, every urge, etc. These parts are broken down into three categories. Bene...
