The Strength of Stepping into the Unknown
Hold it together. Stay strong.These are many words that have been uttered to me this past week, as my dad slipped from this life on Wednesday, after weeks of being in the hospital.Of course, as always, they were uttered with the best intentions.Honestly, though, I don’t feel very strong.I feel very raw and real and ripped open, and if that’s strength then rock on, I’m a freaking badass.It got me wondering, why as a society do we praise and pride ourselves on strength?And more, what fear is there in being vulnerable, raw, real, and stripped of all pretense?Just because I don’t feel strong NOW doesn’t mean I’m not strong, or won’t ever be strong. In fact, quite the opposite.As a human being, you are not bound to the emotion of strength.Discover your strength and tap into your reign. Click to read the full blogspiration.
The three fears of entrepreneurs
Watch out, because I’ve got a bone to pick (and yeah, it’s because I picked it raw and real in the first 1.5 years in my business.)You see, back then I was doing all the things - blogging, photoshoot, website design, creating products (that no one wanted), investing in tech, like, everything...Except for making money.My husband even had a joke back then, that I couldn’t get 15 minutes into a Netflix show without whipping open my computer and getting to work.Fast forward till now...And I just finished watching 2 glorious hours of Ancient Aliens...sans computer, and sans baby.I enjoyed every single second of it. No laptop. No phone. No kiddo even (he was in school.) Conquer your fears and tap into your reign. Click to read the full blogspiration.
You CAN'T steal this.
It boggles my mind when I see this come up in business - stealing customers. Gasp! Oh no, say it ain’t so! And not in a “How could someone do that to someone else?” No, no, no… It’s in a “how can someone think it’s even possible to “steal” a client?” Like, do you own them? Are you their master? And are they your slave? Because dear Lord, if we head down that road, we’re headed for trouble. Discover a mindset of abundance and tap into your reign. Click to read the full blogspiration.
What it really means when you're "too busy"
When I was younger I used to PRIDE myself on being busy, “Better busy than bored,” I’d announce, beaming at my packed schedule with massive gratitude.I looooved what I was doing. I felt in alignment, so being “busy” never bothered me because it fueled me on a soul level (and work also allowed me to escape dealing with things in my romantic relationships - but that’s another story for another day). It was about a year into teaching Pilates that I was blessed with a paradigm shift around “busyness.” Discover your real priorities and tap into your reign. Click to read the full blogspiration.

Hiding.
Ever have that one thing that keeps recurring in your life every time you feel like you’re leveling up? For me, it’s around rejection. I have had to do a lot of healing around people leaving. I’d reject parts of me - the silly, the weird, the dramatic, the ultra-girly, the ballerina - or parts that I thought would allow me to fit in, only to be rejected. HINT: Deep down, humans aren’t stupid. They know when you’re faking it. Sometimes they may not want to know that you’re faking it - but faking it can be felt just as deeply as feeling it.
