This chart (below) is essentially self care in a nutshell! Keep it as a reference, save it, pin it, or print it, so you can keep it handy and refer to it any time. It’s a handy reference guide for when you are not feeling good and you need to know how to mend that. I use these exact questions and follow up actions to care for myself every single day. I included this in my my upcoming book, The Power Of Self Care, but I wanted to you to have it now, even before my book comes out, so...
It’s OK to be where you are right now, exactly where you are. In fact, it’s exactly where you are supposed to be. You may wish certain factors were not present in your life right now, or certain problems were resolved, and they all will be in time. However, wanting to rush to the other side of this journey would rob you of the most satisfying personal growth you can experience and enjoy. Each time I wished a circumstance would go away, or magically resolve itself, I realized I just wanted to be on the other side of it...
A lot can happen during the holidays and the time leading up to the holiday season. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed, thrown off track, and like life is way too busy and a struggle to keep up with. I know this because I have often felt this way in years past, during the holiday season, and other busy times, such as my children’s birthdays( which are close together), or during a close family wedding. I want to share with you a few ways that I stay grounded and centred during these busy times. I hope they help you to...
Hello my loves! I am so excited to share this new creation. I have just published my first ever printable set of affirmation cards! These 132 beautiful and whimsical affirmation cards were designed to complement the core elements from my upcoming book, The Power Of Self Care. Through the book, we learn to let go of the mindset and beliefs that have kept us in self neglect, and instead adopt new ways of thinking and being. Ways that nurture us and allow us to prioritize our wellbeing. When we practice positive statements that match where we want to...
Hello lovelies, We often believe as parents that we don’t have time for ourselves. I lived and breathed this way too, for years! As our babies grow into toddlers and our toddlers into school aged children, we, without realizing, carry on living with the same mindset we had when our children were babies, who didn’t sleep through the night and needed us to put our basic needs aside in order to keep them alive. As our babies grow up however, we actually don’t need to continue to put our basic needs aside. We can actually learn to let go...

Self Reflections before the New Year
Hello my loves, Before we enter a new year, it’s important to take stock of what went well in the last year, what we are proud of ourselves for, how we grew, what we overcame, and more. The energy of what went well will carry forward as momentum into the new year. It’s also just as important to be aware of how we let ourselves down, so we can forgive ourselves and try better going forward. I recorded a podcast specific to this episode where I guide you through reflection prompts which you can see below or print the...
Nobody wants to resent anyone. None of us wake up and say today I am going to feel negatively toward someone in my life. It just happens. It happens when we least expect it. Or it can happen because we expect someone to let us down again, as we’ve seen this happen before. And it can happen to any one of us. It can happen seemingly out of nowhere, or we can see it coming from a mile away. There is no standard form of resentment, but one thing rings true for most cases. Resentments happen when we expect...
Hello my loves, As I was working through some of my own personal circumstances, I realized I wasn’t putting in as much time and effort into my current goal (writing my book) as I would like. I had an aha moment when I realized why, and I also felt inclined to share the reason and process with you to get around your own current obstacles as well. I wrote a good chunk of my book, and all I need to do is write a little more, and then begin the process of putting all the pieces together into a...
