This is the belief I come back to.

Not when things are perfect
but when I feel myself bracing for the other shoe to drop.

Or mentally sprinting to the next thing on my to-do list.

Anxiety loves when I try to prepare for the unknown.

It tells me that if I think hard enough, I’ll stay safe.

But when I notice that frantic energy, I pause and remind myself:
it all works out for me.

Not always how I expect.
Not always on my timeline.
But eventually, with perspective, it does.

That belief brings me back here.

To being present with my husband.
Listening to my teen build a playlist for my dad.
Watching Annie practice her cheer routine for the billionth time.

And I don’t want to miss this moment
because I was busy preparing for one that hasn’t happened.

& if you got this far, I’m so happy you’re here 🤍

Perks of country living.

Today I was like why do I feel so bogged down … turns out I just needed some fresh air. But it’s cold out here so I opted for a sock hat and heated seats 🤣

How do you take your afternoon cup of coffee?

I’m an overwhelmed mom too and for almost 10 years I’ve been mentoring overwhelmed moms who are constantly putting themselves last

And I can tell you this :
Most women aren’t hard on themselves on purpose
They’re just moving too fast to notice the tone of their inner voice

Slowing down, didn’t magically fix my mindset overnight. It simply helped me HEAR it.

That awareness alone changed how I showed up for myself !

You don’t need hours or more information

And you might only have 10 minutes once a week
But that small pause can reveal a lot ..

There’s nothing for you to fix this is about you noticing

because awareness always comes before the growth

Make sure you save this for when life feels loud

If you’re your incoming birthday has you questioning where you are in life, you’re not alone.

And it’s okay.

The thing with The Self-Talk Shift is that we learn most of the time, we don’t need to change uncomfy thoughts, we need to ask more questions.

I don’t think it’s bad we find ourselves in our 30s & start wondering these things… I think it’s simply because we have so many opportunities.

Yes, find gratitude in where you are. Yes, you’re meant to be in timeline you’re currently in but that doesn’t mean there are other ones out there that you missed

It’s okay. Make it okay. Don’t shame yourself. The more shame the deeper that feeling grows & resentment but when we make it okay- idk doesn’t feel as heavy

Anyone else the strong one in the family?

I don’t know about you but I learned to make being strong my identity. 
Which meant I was always holding it together no matter what because I didn’t want to make things messy…

I remember I’d just keep saying “you can handle it” but end up quietly crying in the bathroom

What I didn’t realize then was that my strength was a survival strategy. Something I’d learned as a kid
 People were more comfortable when ‘okay.’
 And my inner voice made sure I stayed that way with all the “you better push through and be tougher”

But strength was never the absence of emotion…. In fact maybe that meant I was just a coward
 Real strength was letting myself feel without shaming myself for it.

When I shifted my self-talk, I finally gave myself permission to acknowledge what was actually there…. grief, heartbreak, disappointment.
 Not to drown in it. But to process it.

That’s what changed everything.
 More grounded. More balanced.
 Less carrying invisible weight… and less exploding when it got too heavy.

This is the work inside The Self-Talk Shift. Not becoming “softer” in a way that makes you fragile  but safer with yourself so you don’t have to carry everything alone.

We can be strong and soft … it starts here.

We’re kicking things off next week- I hope I see you inside 🤍

Slowing down didn’t make me less powerful..

As an Aries, I’ve always been told I’m fire.
The go-getter. The initiator. The strong one.

And for a long time, I used that as a reason to override myself.

I showed up energized online…while quietly shaming myself for feeling tired, emotional, and soft.

“Why aren’t you doing more?You’re fire… act like it.”

What I’ve learned over the last six months is this: fire without rest burns out.
Slowing down didn’t dull me ….it brought me back home.

I’m fire and earth.
Strong and gentle.
Passionate and deeply sensitive.

That balance isn’t weakness… it’s wisdom.

Especially as we get older.

If you’ve been forcing yourself to push just to stay aligned with who you think you’re supposed to be…

this is your permission to soften.

Winter isn’t failure.
It’s the regulation and integration you’ve been missing.

If you’ve been craving a softer way to work with your self talk- not fixing, not forcing, just learning how to feel safe inside your own mind- that’s what The Self Talk Shift live experience is for.

We start in a few days
You don’t need to be ready
You just need to be willing to show up as you are
