You Need To Know How To Breakthrough Limiting Beliefs So You Can Heal
After the summer of 2009, I was ALL IN for my health and creating a whole new life for myself and my kids. I was ready to not only make the radical sweeping changes once but to have them stick for good. There was no going back for me. However, along the way I hit bumps and obstacles that caused me to feel restricted and blocked.
I used to be able to blame my not-so-cooperative ex and my exhaustion from the kids on why I couldn't seem to make progress or implement lasting change. But with him out of the way, that external barrier was no longer a problem.
Even with little money at the time, there were still plenty of things I knew I could do that did not require money to support my health. Like exercise, create a sleep routine, self-care and more. Additionally there were plenty of things I could do even in spite of time. Busyness was not really an excuse or limiting belief that impacted me in those years. However, learning to recognize my healing was my own damn responsibility was a...
How to Get In Tune with What You Need To THRIVE
I spent most of my life NOT paying attention to my health, at least not in a proactive way. What my health (life) crisis taught me was to pay attention, sooner than later, to the warning signs my body shows me. And my friends, I'm here to help you learn how to get in tune with what your body needs to THRIVE, not just barely survive.
I had clearly over-extended myself by the time that summer rolled around where I was ready to move on with my life. I wasn't paying full attention to all the minor health concerns I had over the years that unfortunately built up and became much more intense.
In part, I ignored the warnings my body showed because too many other things stood in my way. I did not know how to create boundaries in my life for my own well being. I never learned to speak up for my needs in a healthy way. I put myself last over all the million other things life threw in my path, and my health suffered greatly for it.
I've now made it my life mission to get in tune with what I...
How To Stop Wasting Your Energy On The Wrong Things
Let's be honest with each other for a minute. I'll go first, I've wasted a lot of my energy focused on the wrong things. Things that did not help me reclaim my health, things that did not serve my highest good in life. One of the biggest reasons my health tanked was that I did not know how to spend my precious little energy wisely.
I don't know about you, but I came to adulthood without much vision for what I wanted in life. And in retrospect, it was hard for me to see progress in life because I had no clue what I really wanted. In part, I didn't have the self-confidence or self-worth to believe in myself and trust my intuition.
And as my health & life crashed down, in the summer of 2009, I learned a lot of valuable lessons I want to share with you. I learned that physical energy is a result of your beliefs and thoughts too. Your health is influenced not only by your physical body but the spiritual, mental, and emotional part of you too.
Your health is dependent on all...

This Is What Happens When You Get In Touch With Your Inner Child
When you feel lonely, angry, depressed, anxious, resentful, passive aggressive, react from ego not love, disconnected, irritated, and confused, it's time to get in touch with your inner child. It's time to acknowledge these things and validate how you feel and find new ways to cope.
In light of my ongoing struggling health issues I shared about in my previous two posts, I knew I had to lighten up. I knew I needed to get in touch with my inner child in order to manage the incredible overwhelm, anxiousness and bouts of depression I was dealing with.
And not just for my kids sake. You see, it was easier to be playful with the kids. Especially my younger two, they were too cute, curious and fun. I had no choice but to get playful at times thankfully.
Rather, I needed to get in touch with MY OWN inner child to find my joy. To help me shift from the incredible stress in my life. It was time for me to slow down, and to “stop and smell the roses” so I could be...
How To Shift Your Mind When Your Health Is Struggling
I used to feel so helpless when my health was struggling. If I allowed myself to dwell on how poorly I felt, I'd end up going down a dark twisted path in my thoughts.
Self pity. Victim mindset. Embarrassment. Shame. Depression. Those were all some of the feelings I spent a lot of time getting familiar with over the years when my health was struggling.
While all those feelings can be very really and seem valid, the problem for me was dwelling on and staying stuck with them. That place of 'being stuck' was me giving away my power and only kept me experiencing the lack of what I really wanted.
In my last post, How To Focus Your Mind To Reclaim Your Health & Energy, I shared how my body came crashing down hard after I separated from my husband and started the divorce process. Let me tell you, things were ROUGH.
I suffered from anxiety every night and panic that he would somehow come back in the house. It took me a whole month of trying EVERYTHING to get myself to sleep without the...
How To Focus Your Mind To Reclaim Your Health & Energy
If you want to build anything meaningful in your life, including optimal health and abundant energy, you must first have a belief you can attain it and second the dedication to see it through. Where your focus goes energy flows.
This may sound challenging to anyone, who like me, struggled with deep exhaustion and burn out, physically, mentally and emotionally. However, it's encouraging to know that when you believe you can have great health and you stay committed you will in time see the results you desire. Your own perseverance and initiative, despite your circumstances will allow you to reclaim your own health.

As a single mom of four, I'm here to tell you a bit of my story on how to focus your mind to reclaim your health and energy.
There have been so many times in my adult life I can remember wanting to feel good in my body. So many of those times, I felt so...
What You Appreciate Lavishly Expands Your Growth
Growth can be defined as changing for the better. And since the only constant in life is change, it's important to embrace it. But , what happens if you are not growing, learning or expanding? The opposite of growth is stagnation, decline or destruction.
And you may even feel like you are dying inside. I've felt that way, and it's not fun. Incredibly painful actually.
A few years ago, I was SO stuck and stagnant that my life started to fall apart around me. I knew something had to change and shift but I was beside myself as to how.
Thankfully, I got help from several coaches and healers and was able to pull myself out AND stay out for good. Instead, I began to see my life shift and I began to grow.
It took a lot of mindset shifts for me and still to this day I am re-learning things from being so religiously conditioned. One of the shifts was to focus on possibility versus the circumstances in my life that I did not like. Instead of seeing the lack, I decided to choose to see...
This Is How You Step More Fully In To Your Radiating Power
Ladies, listen up! This is how you step more fully in to YOUR radiating power!
What on earth is your radiating power you ask?
Let me explain.
Self-Empowerment & Purpose
I believe every woman can be empowered. She can exude confidence and independence. She knows how to direct her energy wisely and she believes in her own capabilities. Her greatest skill in life is knowing that she is an empowered creator.
A woman radiating her own power is ready to take action, the right action. Not out of stress, but out of purpose and intention.
She pays attention to what she already has, shows gratitude and uses her gifts instead of letting them gather dust. She doesn't sit around waiting for life to happen to her. SHE gets the fuck out there and SHE happens TO life.
That's when she's radiating her true full power!
She also knows she is capable of unlimited potential and creativity. She trusts that the Universe (God/Spirit -whatever you want to call it) has her back, but that doesn't make her...
How To Become Who You Want To Be
It was the summer of 2007, I had gone through the eternal fires from the pit of hell in my life experience in many ways. I was barely surviving. Deep down, I knew there was more to life that my current experience dictated. My soul was screaming at the top of her lungs; "I want more than this, there has to be more!"
To give you a little picture of where I am coming from. I had just had my 4th son and had to flee from his father to another state to escape his abuse. At the time, I felt like no one could help me but myself. And truth be told, I was exhausted beyond all comprehension of fighting - I was drained to the core; physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
It took a lot to get to this point in my life and that’s all a story for another day (I’m actually writing a book about it), but that summer was the turning point when I finally ‘woke up’ and began to fall in love with myself. The me that was buried and hiding my whole life dying to be...
