Today is International Women’s Day.

What a meaningful day for us women who fought to have the right to vote, fought to be heard, fought to have careers and to be successful while also having the ability to bring new life into this world.

I have been told ‘no’ many times as a woman throughout my career. My practice was originated as a result of being fired twice within a six week span, I was told private practice was never going to work and that I wasn’t good enough to go to grad school.

Thank goodness I didn’t let others opinions define my success and how beautiful now that I get to raise another strong-willed, fierce baby girl to know she can do anything she sets her mind too.

Thoughts are not facts and they are not always helpful.
We can change our thinking patterns.
We must feel our feelings and cope with them to move through them.

It is one of the most difficult things to be powerless over the people that we love especially when they are suffering.

We might think if our loved one is suffering from active addiction that giving them money or a safe place to sleep is helping them because we are preventing them from experiencing awful things in the outside world.

This logic isn’t wrong. We are helping to keep them comfortable. But what we are also doing is keeping the addiction easier to maintain and comfortable to stay in.

If we make the decision to stop enabling— our loved one will be uncomfortable and when the unhelpful behavior becomes uncomfortable they are more likely to choose to change.

How are you showing YOURSELF love today? ♥️

No one can take care of you, can love you —
The way that YOU can take care of you and love you?

How are you taking care of your mind, your mental health, your body? What content are you consuming- is it helpful or unhelpful? Are you engaging in activities that quiet your mind? How are you taking good care of your body today?

Irritability is a symptom of anxiety.

We can find more joy if we start being intentional with how we are spending our time.

We can ask ourselves why are we doing the task that we are doing?

Grateful for my experiences with active addiction because they gave me the most beautiful life. ✨
