The Blog

Since I was 12 years old, I’ve dreamed of becoming a therapist and having my own practice.

And I did it! With flying colors!

My job has always been a huge source of pride, and was never really a job to me: It was a mission. However, it came at the detriment of my own energy. I wasn’t good at choosing myself over clients’ needs because I saw getting them out of dire straits to be much more important than me taking a damn bath or meditating.

How selfish would I have been to pamper myself while ...

“You want to write a guest blog for me about the challenges of becoming a bold, fierce, independent, confident woman?”

When I received that text from my therapist, I was grateful. The gears in my head had already been turning since the written word has always been my most cherished coping mechanism. The year leading up to it was filled with more personal development than I was sometimes ready for, all culminating in a month and a half of full-on crisis mode. My therapist’s offer would give me t...

I used to say I was just an anxious person and always would be. “It’s just part of my DNA. It’s just who I am.” This statement was made from a place of limited awareness. I did not yet know what opportunity was available to shift this once and for all.

Are you living life in a pressure cooker?

A pressure cooker works by trapping steam in a sealed chamber, cooking food through built-up steam and pressure. Although the steam is hot and would burn someone who enters its path, it also provides a service by preparing our tasty food.

In life, we find ourselves in pressure-filled situations, whether it be a dysfunctional family, an abusive relationship, or any situation where we struggle to release “steam.”

How can we generate momentum within our daily lives? And maintain it for extended periods of time?

It feels like we can only tap into our momentum for a couple of minutes, maybe a few hours tops, before we start to fizzle out a bit. The truth is we always have momentum inside of us.

Momentum is energetic and builds exponentially as we open ourselves and allow it in. Sometimes we restrict it because we are afraid it will run away from us, leaving us “too much” or “out of control.” Sometimes we ...
