Feeling invisible is a heavy burden many carry, which means you're not alone. In today's conversation, we are delving into the profound impact of feeling unseen. Invisibility isn't just an emotion. When it lives within our emotional body, minds, and sould for long enough, it becomes ingrained into our sense of self. So, today, we are taking a one-on-one deep dive into transformative tools to reclaim your visibility from within. We're exploring how invisibility shapes your identity, understand its emotional weight, and learn actionable steps to reconnect with yourself. The distinction between guilt (the belief that one has done something wrong) and shame (the belief that one inherently is wrong) is crucial here. These feelings typically arise from environments or relationships where we aren't truly seen or acknowledged. Let's get right to it! KEY TAKEAWAYS: Feeling Invisible: Discusses the emotional weight of feeling unseen. Explores how invisibility affects identity and self-worth. Understanding Invisibility: Distinguishes between guilt ("I did something bad") and shame ("I am bad"). Encourages listeners to recognize their intrinsic value despite external perceptions. Tools for Reclaiming Visibility: Reflective Journaling Prompts: What did I feel today that no one else noticed? What truth do I wish someone had asked me about today? What part of me am I hiding? And why? Self-Affirmation Practices: Daily affirmations in front of a mirror to reinforce self-recognition and worthiness. Building Safe Connections: Identifying "spirit keepers" who genuinely see and support you. Creating a "Safe Person Map" to identify those who have made you feel known. The Ripple Effect of Connection: Encourages giving visibility to others as it fosters reciprocal energy exchange. Finding environments that reflect your true self enhances personal expansion over shrinking for acceptance. many of us grapple with the feeling of being invisible. This sensation can significantly impact our identity and self-worth, leading to a cycle of guilt and shame that is difficult to break. In a recent episode of "Get Your Life Together Girl," host Danielle Vann dives deep into this topic, offering insights and practical strategies for overcoming these feelings.   Practical Exercises for Self-Reflection To combat these negative feelings, foster self-awareness: Daily Ritual Questions: What feelings went unnoticed today? What truths do you wish were asked about you? What parts of yourself are you hiding and why? These questions encourage introspection and help individuals reconnect with their authentic selves. Positive Affirmations: Standing in front of a mirror each day and affirming your worth can be transformative. Simple statements like "I am worthy" or "I deserve to be seen" reinforce self-visibility. Building Supportive Environments An essential part of reclaiming visibility involves surrounding oneself with supportive people—what Danielle calls "spirit keepers." These are individuals who genuinely acknowledge us for who we are. Creating Your Safe Person Map This tool helps identify those who make us feel known and understood: List people in your life who have shown genuine interest. Reach out regularly to maintain connections. Express gratitude towards them, reinforcing mutual support. Additionally, critically assessing your environment is vital—seek spaces that reflect back authenticity rather than stifle personal growth. Reciprocity in Relationships Visibility isn't just about being seen; it's also about seeing others: Acknowledge Others: Small gestures like thanking someone sincerely or recognizing their efforts create reciprocal visibility. Cultivate Empathy: Surround yourself with communities where empathy prevails over narcissism—a space filled with genuine care fosters individual empowerment too! Actionable Takeaways: Engage in daily reflection with journaling prompts Practice positive affirmations regularly to build internal validation. Identify safe spaces and people where genuine connection is possible; nurture these relationships actively.

In this transformative conversation with Holly Copeland the concept of 'rewilding' oneself. Holly shares her journey from being an ecologist to exploring alternative healing methods after experiencing health challenges. The discussion delves into the four core principles of inner rewilding: awakening, attuning, allowing, and aligning with one's wild heart. The episode emphasizes the importance of connecting with nature, surrendering to the flow of life, and recognizing the universe's guidance in our personal journeys. In this conversation, Holly and I explore the importance of self-connection, meditation, and various healing practices. We discuss how meditation can help calm the mind and enhance self-awareness, emphasizing the significance of coherence and resonance in achieving mental clarity. The conversation also touches on alternative healing modalities, the power of breathwork, and the necessity of self-compassion in navigating life's challenges. Ultimately, we highlight the interconnectedness of all beings and the importance of nurturing one's own heart and spirit. Let's break it down… Key Points: Rewilding is about connecting with one's inner self and nature. Holly Copeland's journey illustrates the power of alternative healing. Awakening involves recognizing our essential beingness beyond the localized self. Attuning to the universe requires listening and being present. Surrendering to what is can lead to enlightenment and peace. The universe mirrors our path and guides us through resonance. Every day is a ceremony; morning practices set the tone for the day. Trusting the process can lead to unexpected miracles. Connection with nature is essential for healing and self-discovery. Spend a few minutes each day to list your tasks. Meditation can lead to profound insights and calmness. Having a meditation teacher can enhance your practice. Coherence between brainwaves and breath is essential for meditation. Breathwork is a powerful tool for regulating the nervous system. Self-compassion is crucial for personal growth. We often forget to give ourselves the kindness we offer others. The universe reflects our inner state of being. Alternative healing practices can support overall wellness. Gratitude and connection to the Earth are vital for happiness.

Do you ever feel something but you can't put your finger on why? Do you ever react strongly to something seemingly small, only to realize it's linked to an unresolved past experience? Generally, it's an emotional response that needs to be traced back to it's root. Today, we are taking a one-on-one deep dive into exploring how to uncover the root causes of your emotions. Understanding the origins of your emotional triggers can bring you clarity and healing. We're breaking it all down, and I'll guide you through a powerful journaling technique to help release the emotions that no longer serve you, creating space for personal growth and peace. Let's get right to it! KEY TAKEAWAYS: Emotions are signals from our inner world, often pointing to unmet needs or unresolved conflicts. Emotional patterns are often rooted in past experiences, and understanding these can help break cycles of reactive behavior. Introspection and self-awareness are key in identifying and understanding your emotional responses. Journaling, specifically using the “Trigger and Release” method, can help uncover the root causes of emotions and allow you to let go of unhelpful patterns.   Understanding the Role of Emotions Emotions guide us through life, but when unprocessed, they can take control of our reactions and relationships. Emotional triggers often stem from past events and need to be explored for healing. The Power of Introspection By tuning into our inner world and observing recurring emotional patterns, we can start identifying their root causes. Self-awareness starts with fundamental questions like: What do I want? What do I need? How do I want to feel? Emotional Triggers: What Are They? Triggers are emotional reactions tied to past events, beliefs, or unresolved experiences. Recognizing your triggers allows you to better understand why you respond the way you do. The “Trigger and Release” Journaling Method The “Trigger and Release” Journaling Method: 1.   Step 1: Identify the Trigger Write down the situation that triggered a strong emotional reaction in you. Be as detailed as possible. Describe what happened, what you felt, who was involved, and where you were. The more details, the better. 2.   Step 2: Explore the Emotion Dig deeper into the emotion you felt. Did you feel angry, sad, frustrated, anxious, or something else? Write about the intensity of the emotion and when you first noticed it. Did it feel familiar? Have you experienced this feeling before in similar situations? 3.   Step 3: Trace It Back to the Past Try to connect the current emotional reaction to a past event or experience. Ask yourself: “When have I felt this way before?” Or, “What past experience is this reminding me of?” Often, you'll uncover that the root cause of the emotion is tied to an event or belief from your past that you haven't fully resolved. 4.   Step 4: Challenge the Belief or Perception Once you've identified the root cause, challenge the belief or perception associated with the emotion. For example, if you feel unworthy after a critique at work, ask yourself: “Is this belief about myself truly accurate? Does this one instance define my worth?” Reframing these negative beliefs can help you move past them. 5.   Step 5: Release and Let Go Finally, give yourself a path, create a plan for yourself. How can you release this? How can you change the reaction. Perhaps write a letter to yourself or the person involved, expressing your feelings and offering forgiveness, closure, or understanding. You don't need to send the letter—just writing it is a powerful way to release the emotion and let go of the past. Additional Exercises for Emotional Understanding: The Emotional Inventory - Track dominant emotions and identify triggers for a week. The Reflection Pause - Pause when emotions arise and reflect on their root causes. The Timeline of Events - Create a timeline of significant emotional events and reflect on their lasting impact. Takeaway: Your emotions are not enemies; they are powerful guides on your journey of self-awareness and growth. By identifying and understanding the root causes of your feelings through introspection and journaling, you can release emotional baggage and move forward with greater clarity and peace.

We're often bombarded with messages equating success with rapid achievement and instant gratification. Today we are diving into "slow hope," a sustainable form of hope that doesn't rush outcomes but allows time for healing and growth. Unlike traditional hope tied to quick results, slow hope builds resilience over time. Many feel hopeless amid life's challenges or cling desperately to change. Slow hope shifts this perspective by embracing patience and gradual progress. It encourages us not only to focus on end goals but also appreciate the journey itself. Slow hope isn't about instant fixes; it's about steady optimism through small steps toward big goals without burnout or frustration from unmet expectations. Embracing slow hope transforms how we handle uncertainty—building inner strength against setbacks—and fosters long-term personal growth free from constant stressors demanding quick solutions at every turn in our fast-paced world today! Let's break it down… Key Points: Understanding Slow Hope Unlike traditional hope that is tied to specific outcomes or quick resolutions—a mindset that can lead to burnout when things don't go as planned—slow hope is about fostering resilience through patience and trust in life's process. It encourages individuals not just to focus on immediate results but also on gradual progress over time. The Problem with Rapid Progress Our society's obsession with speed can create unrealistic expectations leading many people into cycles of stress or feeling inadequate when they don't achieve their goals quickly enough. By embracing slow hope instead: You release yourself from unnecessary pressures. You open up space for genuine healing. You cultivate an enduring sense of optimism even amidst uncertainty. The Concept of Hope Common perceptions of hope in moments of uncertainty Distinction between traditional hope and slow hope The introduction of 'slow hope'—a sustainable form of optimism Understanding Slow Hope Definition and characteristics of slow hope How slow hope differs from traditional hope Importance and benefits of slow hope in personal growth The Role of Slow Hope in Modern Life Challenges in modern life related to instant gratification and quick fixes The pressure of achieving rapid outcomes How slow hope provides a counterbalance to the fast-paced lifestyle Cultivating Slow Hope Step-by-step guide on how to develop a mindset of slow hope Techniques such as self-reflection, patience cultivation, and mindful progression Importance of breaking down big goals into smaller, manageable steps Embracing Uncertainty and Building Resilience Learning to embrace life's uncertainties through slow hope Building resilience by accepting life's ups and downs How a long-term perspective fosters growth and patience Changing Your Mindset with Slow Hope Shifting focus from immediate outcomes to the process of growth The impact of slow hope on reducing anxiety and stress Enhancing self-esteem and cultivating gratitude for small wins To practice slow hope: 1. Acknowledge where you are. 2. Release pressure for immediate results. 3. Break large goals into manageable steps. 4. Cultivate patience through reflection. 5. Celebrate small wins along the way. This approach reduces anxiety by focusing less on perfectionism or rapid achievements while fostering gratitude for everyday victories. The Power of Patience and Gratitude The crucial role of patience in slow hope Celebrating small victories and maintaining motivation over time Transforming daily life through the practice of gratitude The Quiet Strength of Slow Hope The quiet, persistent nature of slow hope as a force for change Understanding transformation as a journey, not a race Encouragement to embrace slow hope for personal empowerment Conclusion: By incorporating these strategies into everyday life practices consistently overtime will inevitably result increased levels satisfaction derived purely living authentically aligned values held dear personally speaking too importantly so much else besides merely achieving tangible milestones alone… Have you checked out the GYLTG Empowerment Hub on Apple?

If I asked you how many tasks you completed or carried today, would you find yourself exhausted by list? Women often find themselves juggling an invisible yet overwhelming mental load known as “caregiving.” This burden frequently stems from societal expectations that position us as primary caregivers, responsible for managing not only physical tasks, but also emotional and mental duties of not only ourselves but our partners, children, work obligations, at times parent obligations, to name a few. Today, we are deep diving into the concept of this mental load and breaking down its multifaceted impacts and how the ongoing demands take us further away from positive emotions. However, it doesn't stop there. Often unacknowledged or undervalued by society at large, this work can lead to feelings of isolation and exhaustions. These demands are deeply rooted in traditional gender roles that demand selfless nurturing without adequate support or recognition. The result? Burnout and a disconnection from one's own identity and desires. We must get into a space of reclaiming ourselves—this episode is the how you probably didn't know you needed! Let's get right to it… Key Points: Understanding Mental Load: Explore what constitutes the 'mental load'—the invisible work primarily shouldered by women. Discuss its impact on emotional and mental health for caregivers like mothers, partners, and daughters. Breaking Down Emotional Labor: Analyze why tasks such as organizing family schedules or managing household duties are emotionally exhausting. Recognize these responsibilities as a significant component of daily life stressors. The Importance of Self-Care: Emphasize prioritizing self-care to prevent burnout. Strategies for integrating personal needs alongside caregiving responsibilities. Redefining Caregiving Roles: Challenge societal expectations that place undue burden on women to be primary caregivers. Encourage shared responsibility among family members and community support systems. Setting Boundaries & Seeking Support: Practical advice on setting boundaries to alleviate overwhelming demands. Tips for having difficult conversations about dividing caregiving tasks more equitably. Reclaiming Personal Identity: Encouragement to reconnect with activities and passions outside of caregiver roles. Highlighting the importance of maintaining individuality amidst caregiving duties. Addressing Mental Health Crisis Among Women: – Discussion on how unaddressed mental loads contribute to anxiety and depression among female caregivers. – Urging listeners to acknowledge their limits without guilt or shame. Creating Cultural Change in Perception of Caregiving: – Promoting a shift towards viewing caregiving as a collective effort rather than an individual burden. Actionable Steps: Identify areas where your mental load is overwhelming; seek ways you can delegate or automate tasks. Have open discussions with partners/family about sharing responsibilities equally—both physical tasks and emotional support roles matter! Prioritize self-care by scheduling regular breaks; give yourself permission not just physically but mentally too! Reconnect with interests/hobbies that bring joy; remember who you were before becoming absorbed into full-time caregiver mode! Conclusion: Caregiving doesn't have to mean sacrificing oneself entirely—it's vital we redefine our approach so everyone thrives together! Remember—you're allowed rest & help isn't weakness but strength! Have you checked out the GYLTG Empowerment Hub on Apple?

What does it truly mean to be fearless? I sat down with Rhonda Britten, founder of the Fearless Living Institute and a familiar face from her appearances on Oprah. Together, we dive deep into fear—how it shapes us, holds us back, and how we can summon the strength to rise above it. Rhonda reveals how you can reclaim your power, step boldly into the unknown, and embrace fearlessness no matter what story you're carrying.

Now, she's dedicated her life to helping others transform their darkest days into their greatest triumphs. And we're not stopping there. We're handing you practical tools, actionable steps, and the wisdom you need to take charge of your life—right now.

Identify Emotions: Develop a wide vocabulary for emotions; understand feelings are not traits but signals. Take Small Steps: Use tools like calendars and gold stars to acknowledge small victories daily. Practical Exercises: Reflect on tough days in your past to find seeds of destiny within those experiences.

Who are you? Are you living in alignment with your true self? These questions are not merely rhetorical; they serve as catalysts for profound personal exploration. When you deny your truths or attempt to live up to others' expectations rather than your own authentic self, you often experience feelings of invisibility and can quickly become disconnection from your life.

If I say the word “Fear,” what comes up for you? Do you immediately try to reject the thoughts that arise? Most people do. I coined the term “fear with a backbone,” some time ago. Yet, it wasn't until this week that I was granted a massive a-ha moment that brought perspective to my own life and the work I've dedicated myself to doing since 2016. This episode is not merely about identifying fear, but more so learning how to use your mindset to transform fear into a powerful catalysts for change across all five master areas of your life: mental, emotional, physical, spiritual, and financial. While this is deeply personal, I hope this conversation is as powerful as the moment I received it. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Understanding Fear's Dual Nature Fear is universal; it knows no boundaries or exceptions. However, there's an intriguing dichotomy—fear can either paralyze you or it can be a driving force. Two types of fear: General Fear - Rooted in uncertainties and potential threats. Fear with a Backbone - Stemming from past experiences that have left tangible marks on our psyche and emotional body. It's used as the evidence to keep you held in place, AKA “stuck.” The Power of Choice Three different people's stories align and how it plays out, how two refused to succumb to fear and learned to thrive, and another has let it take them down. I share my battle with a near death experience due to toxic mold taking over my lung. The battle illustrates how mindset plays a pivotal role in overcoming adversities. The focus on gratitude amidst dire circumstances exemplifies resilience at its finest. Practical Applications Mindfulness: Regularly practice awareness around your thoughts/emotions. Positive Focus: Shift attention from negative patterns toward constructive outcomes. Resilience Building: View failures as stepping stones rather than stumbling blocks—they provide clarity about what truly matters moving forward! Mindset as a Tool for Overcoming Challenges: Real-life examples illustrating how mindset shifts can lead to resilience. The importance of gratitude in transforming negative experiences into growth opportunities. Using gratitude as an emotional frequency tool during recovery. Lessons Learned from Others' Stories: Comparing different approaches people take towards dealing with life challenges. How rehearsing positive outcomes rather than succumbing to negativity impacts reality. The Power of Thought Patterns: Training focus away from limiting beliefs towards abundance. – Navigating emotions like joy over anger through conscious thought redirection. Call To Action – Encouragements on practicing positive emotional states regularly. – Understanding that thoughts shape reality; choose them wisely! Notable Quotes: “Fear is real, but so is your potential.” “Your lived experiences do not have to be the frequency you emit.” #GetYourLifeTogetherGirl #FearWithABackbone #MindsetMastery #OvercomingFear #PersonalGrowthJourney #InspirationFromWithin #EasternAndWesternWisdom #DanielleBanPodcast #EmotionalResilience #BreakThroughBarriers #LiveEmpowered #TransformativeConversations #MindBodyConnection Have you checked out the GYLTG Empowerment Hub on Apple?

Do you consider yourself a perfectionist? If so, is it you a silent saboteur or is it your secret weapon? Dr. Greg Chasson, the authority on perfectionism and author of “Flawed Why Perfectionism is a Challenge for Management” and I sat down to unpack perfectionism. It's often misunderstood as merely striving for excellence; however, it can push us to an healthy ambition into excessive self-expectations. Dr. Chasson explains that these expectations can stem from societal pressures or be projected onto others—creating a vicious cycle of unattainable goals followed by emotional devastation when those goals aren't met. We explore how perfectionism manifests in our lives, from societal pressures to personal expectations, and offer simple tools to help shift the focus. Let's dive in! KEY TAKEAWAYS: Understanding Perfectionism: Definition and how it manifests in our lives. Three core themes: Self-imposed expectations Projected perfectionism onto others Societal pressures The Impact of Perfectionism: How it can stop us from taking risks and make accomplishments feel inadequate. The trifecta effect when all three forces combine leading to a destructive cycle. Origins of Perfectionist Tendencies: Early signs in childhood reinforced by societal norms. Middle school as a common boiling point where responsibilities increase but perfectionistic tendencies persist. Identifying & Managing Perfectionism: Recognizing signs through behavior patterns like exhaustive to-do lists. Emphasis framework for task prioritization (A – give your all; B – just get it done; C – not at all). Cognitive Inflexibility & Rigidity: Challenges faced due to rigid thinking patterns preventing adaptation or change. Strategies for Overcoming Perfectionism: Exposure therapy practices such as completing tasks imperfectly on purpose. Understanding opportunity costs related to health, relationships, and time management. Control vs Flexibility Illusion of control associated with anxiety versus perceived lack of control in depression. Importance of balancing control by focusing on what truly matters according to personal values. Insightful Quotes By Dr. Chasson: "Perfectionism is not your friend; it's an absolute barrier to success." "You can't have everyone like you—life's about falling on your face sometimes." “What's the opportunity cost? What do we sacrifice in pursuit of perfection?” “It comes down to understanding what's within our control—and often letting go is the best use.” Actionable Takeaways: Reflect on areas where perfectionistic behaviors manifest most strongly in your life using self-awareness tools like journaling or cognitive-behavioral techniques Practice exposure exercises that challenge you gradually towards accepting imperfection without judgment or fear—start small! Use the emphasis framework regularly when planning daily activities/tasks ensuring alignment between actions taken based upon intrinsic values rather than external validations alone!

Women's health care is not the same across the world. In the US and most western countries, women's health care is readily available, but we do know enough. Are we educated about our bodies and the basic fundamentals of our reproductive health? Mostly, the answer is no.

How both phases impact a woman Lifestyle Recommendations Across Reproductive Stages: Prioritizing sleep (aim for 8 hours). Regular movement/exercise (at least 30 minutes daily). Balanced diet avoiding pro-inflammatory foods such as processed sugars/foods.

In today's episode, I'm breaking down how to create your much needed life plan with the work you've already done—diving into what you want, need, and how you want to feel! We are bringing our four-week journey to a close with this step-by-step plan. Let's dive in! KEY TAKEAWAYS: When creating your life plan, you must answer one important question: What legacy do you want to leave? This question and answer allows you to have more awareness of what's important to you. If you put action into your life, your life will change. WHY MUST YOU CREATE A LIFE PLAN: -Highlights what is utmost important to you -Keeps you accountable -Gives you the confidence to take action to overcome your fears -Understandable way to get to obtainable goals because you have broken your goals down into actionable steps -Helps you prioritize Create a life plan instead of New Year Resolutions! This is a far more sustainable way to move forward. STEP-BY-STEP TO CREATING A LIFE PLAN: Start with creating your vision statement Imagine your dream life. What does it look like? What does it feel like? Be specific in the details. What do you look like in this vision—meaning, what kind of energy are you putting out? Picture yourself already there and write out your vision. If you need help, use these questions: Do you see? What do you hear? Who are you with? How do you spend your days? How much money do you make? How are you making that money? What have you accomplished? Where do you live? What emotions and feelings are you feeling? What is your daily routine look like? Once you've written out your vision, think about what you need to achieve in order to make that vision come about. , What do you need to achieve in order to make that vision a reality? Do you need to go back to school? Increase your income? Change your health? List what you must do. Turn this into a more visual form, whether that's on a social media board or even just on a vision board. Perform a personal assessment A personal assessment is where we're looking at your achievement so far up until this point in your life. It's like taking stock of your success and failures. And by the way, many people hate doing this because they become really concerned that they haven't done enough. Stop the judgment. Just look at the lessons that you've learned, the experiences that you're not willing to repeat. When you're doing your personal assessment plan, look at all of the areas of your life: relationships and personal growth, finances, emotional well-being, your community, your career, your physical health, the five master areas of your life. Rate your happiness factor from 1 to 5. Adjust your focus What is step one? Create SMART Goals S - Specific M - Measurable A - Attainable R - Relevant T - Time bound Set Deadlines and Reviews How am I going to stay motivated? You're going to have a deflation of your motivation and some unforeseen challenge. The answer is to allow yourself to take breaks and come back to your plan. It's your accountability partner.

We're in week three of our journey of exploring four key questions for a fulfilling life. We've asked what we want and need; today, we'll explore how we want to feel—a crucial question that goes beyond surface emotions like happiness or joy. It's easy to say we want to be happy or content, but you must dig deeper. What are the underlying motivations behind these desires? By identifying these core emotions, you can better understand what drives you and what holds you back from achieving them. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Recognizing barriers is crucial. Whether it's toxic relationships that drain your energy or negative self-talk that erodes your confidence, acknowledging these obstacles is the first step toward overcoming them. For instance, if you constantly feels overwhelmed due to a packed schedule driven by societal pressures rather than personal satisfaction, it might be time for introspection. Identifying Deeper Motivations Questions to explore underlying motivations for wanting specific feelings Connection between emotions and personal desires Overcoming Emotional Barriers Identifying internal and external obstacles preventing desired emotions Importance of recognizing emotional blocks Reflective Exercise Instruction for self-reflection exercise on emotional challenges Encouragement to identify patterns, people, or situations as obstacles Letting Go and Increasing Positives The importance of letting go and increasing positivity Strategies for letting go of emotional drains and increasing positive habits Sustainable Changes Emphasis on making small, intentional shifts towards desired emotions Suggestions for creating sustainable emotional plans Setting Intentions and Long-Term Goals Importance of intention-setting for emotional consistency Creating a detailed emotional plan with specific daily actions Conclusion and Next Steps Preview of the next episode focusing on integrating all insights Encouragement to focus on emotions and take consistent action Practical Takeaways: Reflective Practice: Regularly assess your day-to-day feelings; understand what's blocking you from achieving them fully. Let Go & Increase Strategy: Determine which aspects of life are draining vs. those that uplift you—adjust accordingly without drastic measures. Consistent Habits Over Resolutions: Engage in manageable actions like practicing gratitude or meditation for long-term transformation rather than fleeting resolutions. Self-compassionate Approach: Balance ambition with kindness towards yourself during this journey toward emotional well-being.   Love this episode and want to keep the inspiration and conversation going? Join the nearly 25K plus members on Instagram, Facebook, and Tik Tok who are engaging in their own life revolution.

As we approach 2025, it's time to reconnect with ourselves by uncovering our true desires and needs. In this four-week series, we continue to explore and find clarify for what you truly want in life.

Are you moving through something big right now? You are not alone! However, we often think we are when we move through significant moments. In this space, we struggle to let go of what is no longer serving us because fear and guilt trump our needs and our perceived worthiness to have a grounded, healthy, and happy life. And thanks to fear, many believe that letting go is impossible, traumatic, or downright impossible. The truth is, there is a shadow side to healing. Yet, there are ways to soften the blow by doing deep preliminary work ahead of our healing.   This week we are doing just that through a one-on-one deep dive into the process of letting go. We're entering a space where we consciously create a path for our deepest desires, the self-awareness process, and learning how to let go of people and relationships, heavy emotions and trauma, attachment, and the obstacles that stand in our way.

Hopelessness is more than just a fleeting emotion; it's an overwhelming state that engulfs individuals in feelings of sadness, isolation, and despair.

Instead of saying, screw it, it's hopeless, you have the power to lean into hope through a few practical mindset tools.

In the latest episode of "Get Your Life Together Girl,"we delve into how we can ease the burden of life's challenges to rediscover joy and peace, because not everything has to be difficult. While most of us are busy living, healing, and experiencing the journey of life, we often focus on what's wrong (the 10% negative experiences), instead of looking at the 90% that's good. Recognizing this balance helps prevent feeling completely overwhelmed by life's complexities. In order to fully take control over your life, we look toward your thought patterns and how we can brain hack the patterns you created. Brain Science in Thought Formation Understanding how our thoughts are formed is pivotal: Neurons release neurotransmitters. These create electrical signals. Connections between thousands of neurons form thought patterns. Negative loops reinforce themselves over time if left unchecked. Therefore, mindfulness about what thoughts we nurture becomes critical for maintaining mental well-being. Role of the Reticular Activating System (RAS) The RAS acts as our brain's bouncer: It filters what we perceive. Allows us to focus selectively based on given instructions. By giving specific instructions focused on positivity or joy rather than stress or negativity, you can effectively reprogram your perception towards more uplifting aspects of life. Strategies for Shifting Mindsets Towards Joy — the 90% Here are some actionable steps: Identify Desires: Determine what you want out of life—how you wish to feel—and set clear intentions. Validate Thoughts: Regularly check whether your current thoughts align with these pre-set intentions. Assess Importance: Decide which thoughts need attention versus those that don't deserve energy. Understand Triggers: Recognize triggers for both joy and stress; use them wisely to guide emotional responses positively. Concrete Steps Against Negative Experiences To counteract negativity effectively: Accept support from others instead of isolating yourself. Connect with like-minded individuals who reinforce positive thinking habits. Engage deeply with emotions but avoid overcomplicating situations unnecessarily. Strategies for Shifting Mindset & Promoting Joy Here are some actionable steps: Identify Intentions Ask yourself these questions regularly: What do I want? How do I want to feel? What do I need? How will I achieve it? Validate your thoughts against these intentions consistently. Understand Triggers Recognize what triggers both your joy and stress: Use joyful triggers as guides for emotional responses. Manage stressful triggers effectively by acknowledging them without letting them dominate your mindset. Concrete Steps Against Negativity To counteract negative experiences: Accept Support Break cycles of isolation by accepting help from others when needed—it's okay not always being self-reliant! Connect with Like-Minded People Surround yourself with people who reinforce positive thinking—they become anchors during turbulent times! Engage With Feelings Understand your feelings deeply; don't overcomplicate things unnecessarily—simplicity often holds clarity! Focus On Self-Care Avoid harmful escapism like substance abuse—instead indulge responsibly in activities bringing genuine pleasure such as nature walks or connecting closely with friends/family members etc.. Allow breaks akin reflecting upon concept an overflowing wine glass—to manage healing without becoming overwhelmed completely… Remember, what you think and what you focus on grows. You must be careful with your mind and thoughts. Join over 25 K plus members on Instagram, Facebook, and Tik Tok who are engaging in their own life revolution daily. Like this show?

Feeling stuck is a common experience that many of us face at various points in our lives. Whether it's in our careers, relationships, or personal growth, the sensation of being unable to move forward can be incredibly frustrating and disheartening. In a today's episode, we are delving into what you may be doing to cause yourself to feel and be “stuck.” Understanding Why We Feel Stuck The feeling of stuck often stems from self-sabotaging behaviors—actions and mindsets that keep us trapped in cycles of negativity and stagnation. It's not unusual for these behaviors to go unnoticed until we take a step back to evaluate ourselves critically. There are 17 Common Self-Sabotaging Behaviors: Constant Complaining: Chronic negativity drains emotional energy and perpetuates a victim mentality. Giving Up Easily: A lack of resilience means prioritizing short-term comfort over long-term goals. Ignoring Feedback: Dismissing external perspectives prevents valuable improvements. Excuse Making: Focusing on reasons not to act rather than addressing fears or insecurities. Overanalyzing: Paralysis by analysis leads to missed opportunities due to fear of decision-making. Procrastination: Delaying important tasks results in emotional exhaustion and halted progress. Overcommitment: Spreading oneself too thin without boundaries causes burnout. Negative Self-Talk: Destructive thoughts drain motivation and foster harmful patterns.  Poor Time Management Filling days with low-value tasks; perpetuating a cycle of feeling overwhelmed. Short-Term Thinking     Focusing on immediate gratification rather than long-term planning. Unclear Goals     Lack of direction leads to scattered efforts and minimal progress. Neglecting Self-Care     Ignoring physical and mental health; misinterpreting burnout as dedication. Lack Of Self-Reflection Refusing to see yourself, your emotions, or your actions Blaming Others Refusing responsiblity and putting blame on outside environments, people, and actions Avoiding Problems Hiding or not addressing the issues in hopes it goes away. Fear Of Risk Being risk adverse. Perfectionism Holding yourself in place so you do not have to worry about things not meeting an unrealistic standard. Overcoming These Behaviors To break free from these self-imposed chains, it's crucial first to recognize them through honest self-reflection: Start journaling your thoughts daily—this helps clear your mind and understand your current position better. Seek therapy if needed—a professional can offer guidance tailored specifically for you. Consider further education or career changes if you're unfulfilled professionally. Evaluate your relationships honestly—decide whether they contribute positively or negatively to your life journey. Practical Applications: Here are some actionable steps: Start Journaling: Writing down thoughts helps clarify emotions & identify recurring negative patterns. Seek Therapy: Professional help offers personalized guidance & strategies suited uniquely towards individual needs. Pursue Education/Career Changes If Needed : Don't hesitate making necessary shifts ensuring alignment between personal aspirations/professional endeavors Evaluate Relationships Honestly Make informed decisions about continuing/ending connections impacting overall well-being either positively/negatively Remember—the goal isn't perfection but consistent improvement! By taking small yet deliberate actions every day aimed at overcoming these detrimental habits/mindsets—you'll gradually notice significant positive changes within yourself/life circumstances!

In the latest episode of the "Get Your Life Together Girl" podcast, we are diving into an invaluable tool I call the Growth Factor. The episode is packed with insights on how to manage those pesky moments that can derail your day and offers practical advice for maintaining inner peace. Understanding A Common Problems We've all been there—those small aggravations like a rude cashier or traffic jam that somehow ruin our entire day. It's not the isolated incidents themselves, but rather our reaction to them that holds significant power over our mood and overall well-being. The Rule of 6 Explanation: Imagine having a bad interaction at the grocery store which leaves you irritated. That irritation could then affect your interactions throughout the rest of your day—potentially impacting six other people negatively as well as yourself multiple times over. This ripple effect illustrates why it's crucial to control initial negative reactions before they snowball into larger issues affecting others around us. Rule Of Six Explained: 1. A small event triggers an emotional response. 2. This response influences subsequent actions and reactions. 3. These reactions create a ripple effect impacting multiple people (up to six in this example). This understanding shows us how a singular unfavorable encounter can potentially multiply into half-dozen sequentially impacted parties due to how things spread when we do not address them. The way to stop these triggered downslides of events is to look at the Growth Factor. THE GROWTH FACTOR: The “Growth Factor” is looking for potential outcomes. If I lean into this emotion, this moment, what could possibly happen? When we evaulate, we look to the statement: “The energy that breaks you has the power to repair you." Your brain craves resolution; they need complete stories with clear endings—even if they're fabricated based on perceptions rather than facts! By consciously choosing calm responses instead of letting emotions run wild, we provide ourselves much-needed mental closure without unnecessary drama. The question is how do we get there? Practicing Mindfulness and Emotional Regulation Mindfulness is the key to moderating emotional responses effectively. By staying present and understanding that most people's actions aren't personally targeted at us, we can better regulate emotions and prevent unnecessary stress from dominating our lives. Detailed Breakdown: The Growth Test Questions To apply this method practically, we turn to four critical questions under Growth Test framework: What is this moment worth? Evaluate if letting negative emotions grow will have any substantial benefit. Is this how I want to feel? Reflect on whether your current emotion aligns with how you wish to feel. What is within my control? Distinguish between aspects you can control (your response) versus those you cannot (external circumstances). What am I hoping to get out of this? Focus on desired outcomes instead of being swept away by immediate frustrations. These questions guide us towards more thoughtful responses rather than knee-jerk reactions driven by fleeting irritations. Enhancing Emotional Intelligence Through Practice A growth mindset balances logic with emotion—a skill essential for developing high emotional intelligence (EQ).

In today's fast-paced world, many of us find ourselves grappling with feelings of discontent, anxiety, or general unhappiness. But have you ever paused to consider that these emotions might be stemming from unmet needs in various aspects of your life? Today, we are deep diving into what unmet needs are, how they impact you, and the way you can course correct to help yourself feel connected to yourself, something bigger than you, and the relationships you deem most important. Understanding Needs Our needs range from basic physical necessities like food and water to more complex emotional and spiritual requirements such as love, self-esteem, and inner peace. When these needs go unmet, they manifest as negative emotions—sadness, anxiety—and coping mechanisms that often do more harm than good. The Five Master Areas of Life Categorizing our essential needs into five master areas: Mental: Cognitive well-being. Emotional: Love, affection. Physical: Basic survival (food, water). Spiritual: Inner freedom. Financial: Economic stability. Understanding these categories helps us pinpoint where we may be lacking fulfillment. Signs of Unmet Needs Physical Needs: Fatigue Frequent illnesses Stress Brain fog Safety Needs: Constant anxiety Trust issues Paranoia Emotional Needs: Loneliness Emotional exhaustion Difficulty expressing emotions Esteem Needs: Insecurity Self-doubt Fear of failure Spiritual Needs: Feeling adrift Lack of purpose Recognizing these signs is the first step towards addressing them effectively. Coping vs Safety Mechanisms Safety mechanisms are preventive actions we take based on past experiences (e.g., avoiding alone time with strangers after trauma), while coping mechanisms are reactive behaviors like overeating or substance abuse when faced with stressors. Both can become maladaptive if not properly managed. Steps to Identify & Address Unmet Needs Reflection: Examine areas causing frustration. Listen to Emotions: Understand what your feelings indicate about unmet needs. Seek External Insights: Consult friends or professionals for new perspectives. Try New Experiences: Engage in activities outside your comfort zone. Take Small Steps: Gradually address each need without overwhelming yourself. We must emphasize the need for patience throughout this journey; understanding one's unmet needs is a complex process requiring gradual implementation rather than drastic changes overnight. Imposter Syndrome Episode may be helpful to understand this process and how it may be showing up. In conclusion: Addressing your unmet personal needs isn't just about achieving short-term happiness but fostering long-term well-being through proactive steps: 1 . Practice self-care regularly . 2 . Set realistic goals . 3 . Express emotions freely . 4 . Build supportive relationships .

Today we're exploring hidden opportunities – those gems within challenges that successful people leverage for growth in all areas of their lives: mental, emotional, physical, spiritual, and financial. We'll uncover how being specific about goals and seizing moments can propel you towards success. You see, success is not a stroke of luck; it's an art and science that can be mastered with the right mindset and approach. In this enlightening episode, we are breaking down the anatomy of success into digestible pieces so that you can apply a new approach for any transformational change. The Blueprint of Intentional Success Imagine success as a complex structure—every beam or brick represents an attribute or habit cultivated by those who consistently achieve their goals. Unlike what many believe, successful people don't just stumble upon good fortune—they build it with intentionality and precision. This is the path: Specific Goals Lead to Specific Results Setting vague aspirations is like trying to hit a target blindfolded. Successful individuals know this all too well; they set clear-cut objectives because clarity breeds motivation. When you define your destination in specific terms, every step you take has purpose and direction. Seize Each Day Like It's “The One” that changes everything! Opportunity doesn't wait around for anyone—and neither do those on the path to greatness. They seize moments big or small because each one holds potential for progress—even if it means stepping out of comfort zones. Keeping Score: Tracking Progress Without knowing where you stand in relation to your goals, how can you strategize effectively? Regularly checking in on progress isn't obsessive—it's strategic. It ensures you're always steering your ship towards uncharted waters instead of circling familiar islands. Realistic Optimism: Hope Grounded in Reality Blind optimism leaves one vulnerable; realistic optimism equips them for battle. By expecting positive outcomes while accounting for potential hurdles, successful folks maintain productive mindsets even when skies are gray. Grit Over Glamour Every Time It's easy to overlook gritty perseverance when celebrating someone's achievements—but grit often makes all the difference between fleeting interest and lifelong passion-fueled pursuit through thick and thin. Hidden Opportunities: Turning Setbacks into Comebacks Life will inevitably throw curveballs at us—in these moments lie hidden opportunities waiting to be unearthed by those willing enough to dig deep. Failures aren't dead ends but detours leading potentially toward more scenic routes—if we choose resilience over resignation. A Daily Practice That Fuels Growth Four introspective questions as part of our daily ritual: What do I want? What do I need? How do I want to feel? How am I going to get there? By answering these regularly, we align our actions with our deepest desires—crafting a life script where we're both playwrights and lead actors. Conclusion: Crafting Your Masterpiece In essence, success is akin to crafting a masterpiece—it requires foresight, discipline, creativity within constraints—and above all else—the willingness to find beauty amidst imperfections by seizing hidden opportunities everywhere.

Have you heard the term “Inner Child Healing?” It's a popular topic on social media, but do you understand what it is and the impact it has on a healing journey? In today's episode, I walk you through the common misconceptions and provide you with practical tools to help explore your inner child wounds. Key Points Discussed: The Impact of Childhood Trauma: How unresolved trauma from childhood can resurface in adulthood affecting our behaviors and relationships. Four Core Wounds: Abandonment Guilt/Shame Trust Issues Neglect Unaddressed childhood trauma resurfaces in adulthood but recognizing these patterns allows us to heal past neglect or emotional pain. From ages 0-9 we learn safety; when this is disrupted without adult support, shame lingers long-term. Carl Jung introduced "inner child" as part of our psyche linked to younger years affecting adult perceptions—especially after trauma which alters our sense of security. Abandonment makes us repeat cycles of rejection; guilt leads to boundary issues; trust deficits create validation needs; neglect causes dissociation from self-needs—all impacting relationships deeply. Inner child healing involves confronting our deepest wounds—those feelings of being unsupported, unseen, or unheard. By acknowledging and working through these traumas transparently with ourselves, we open the door to change and happiness. Imagine accepting every part of yourself, including those neglected pieces craving love. This self-acceptance is powerful; it leads to a fulfilling life.   Healing Strategies: Writing letters to your younger self Acknowledging past hurts Listening to what feelings emerge when thinking about childhood Identifying emotional triggers Tools for Supporting Inner Child Work: Hugging oneself as a form of physical comfort Butterfly hug technique for those uncomfortable with touch due to trauma Mirror work with affirmations Practicing self compassion through journaling or meditation Notable moments: "When we begin to acknowledge our hurts…we open the door to connect with ourselves." "Every time we get to a new place [in healing], it's likely that you open something else." "…inner child healing is about identifying the core wounds where we didn't feel supported, seen or heard…" Remember, it's never too late to begin healing. You can learn to express emotions healthily and cultivate self-love and worth—it's all within reach. Choose what you want over trauma.

We dive in with work-life balance expert Alison Mandell, who shares her journey from an unfulfilled executive producer to discovering true harmony between personal satisfaction and professional success. Alison opens up about her past struggles and reflects on the pivotal moment she chose authenticity over external validation—a decision that led her down a path of profound change. discuss practical steps towards balance like starting your day phone-free to cultivate presence before facing daily demands. It's not just about time management but aligning actions with internal values for joy-filled days that feel genuinely yours. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Realizing no one else will save you; it's time for change. – The power of envisioning future outcomes if no changes are made. Defining Balance: True balance stems from self-belonging and an inner knowing that aligns with your flow of life rather than fitting into prescribed ratios or schedules. The Experience of Time: – Discusses how time feels different when rooted in the self versus caught up in reaction mode or chasing after tasks. Practical Advice for Creating Balance: – Emphasizes starting the day without checking your phone as a way to keep centered before letting the world in through social media or emails. Self Advocacy at Work: – Differentiating between reacting out of frustration versus advocating based on understanding what you truly want out of your career and life. SHIFTING AWAY FROM SOCIETAL VALIDATION Our culture often equates productivity with worthiness, but Allison challenges this notion head-on. She advocates for compassionate shifts towards living genuinely rather than adhering strictly to discipline as the path to balance. MINDFULNESS OVER TECHNOLOGY One practical tip she shares is starting your day phone-free—a small change that can have a big impact on stress levels and inner peace. SUSTAINABLE CHANGES FOR LASTING IMPACT A reminded that it's not about overhauling your entire routine overnight; it's those incremental changes that cultivate presence over reactivity—reorienting our days around what truly matters instead of external demands. Start each day with mindfulness Implement small changes gradually Prioritize genuine needs over pressures Foster self-authenticity for a fulfilling life This conversation delves deep into emotional regulation within professional dissatisfaction while encouraging personal growth through intentional practice: STRATEGIES FOR EMOTIONAL REGULATION: Daily Self-checks: Begin your day understanding your current needs.

Ultimately, this conversation serves as an inspiration for cultivating balance by integrating mindful practices, setting technology boundaries, fostering authenticity—and most importantly—allowing ourselves the grace period needed for transformational growth without succumbing to guilt or societal pressures.

Sometimes our problems stem from taking things too personally. Today's episode is about learning not to see everything as an attack or personal affront. We'll explore how to shift away from negative self-talk often rooted in trauma and lacking emotional support. For those who are quick to feel hurt or responsible for others' actions, this one is for you. This tendency can lead to anxiety and stress which leads to low self-esteem. It's crucial that we understand the difference between what belongs to us emotionally and what doesn't. We're breaking it all down! Strategies Discussed: Challenge Assumptions: Ask yourself critical questions about your perceptions in emotionally charged moments. Therapeutic Approaches: Consider therapies like CBT or group therapy for deeper issues related to trauma or insecurity. Boost Self-Esteem: Work on improving your view of yourself; higher self-esteem reduces sensitivity to criticism. Curiosity Over Insecurities: Investigate what triggers your insecurities when faced with hurtful situations. Letting Feelings Pass: Accept negative emotions without dwelling on them excessively—acknowledge but don't ruminate. Actionable Tips: Practice emotional resilience by asking clarifying questions during conflicts instead of immediately reacting with hurt feelings. Give people the benefit of the doubt; misunderstandings happen frequently and it's seldom all about you. To combat taking things too personally: 1. Challenge assumptions: Was this really directed at me? Am I being oversensitive? 2. Consider if feelings will pass naturally. 3. Improve self-esteem: Work on how you perceive yourself. 4. Reflect on insecurities: What triggers sensitivity? 5. Embrace positive aspects of sensitivity like compassion. 6. Practice emotional resilience by asking questions instead of reacting impulsively. 7. Don't dwell on every situation; seek clarity rather than assuming the worst. Remember that being sensitive can have benefits like deeper relationships but don't let it overwhelm you—seek help if needed so minor criticisms don't disrupt daily life disproportionately. Lastly, practice self-compassion by acknowledging feelings without dwelling negatively on them—focus on growth over control since we cannot dictate others' behaviors or reactions but only our responses. Additional Resources Mentioned: Positive Affirmations Course: Learn how positive affirmations combined with brain chemistry can enhance emotional regulation. Empath Burnout Episode: Understand if you're an empath and learn strategies for managing burnout After years of prioritizing others, you may feel too drained to care when they start treating you better. You might not believe them because it's different from your past experiences. It's normal but remember, self-awareness can change everything. Focus on what you want to feel and how you want to live. Ask yourself if the approval of others is truly important or if apologizing constantly is worth it. Are anxiety and poor self-esteem defining your life? To move forward, don't take on burdens that aren't yours. Practice the tools I've shared; change takes time. One key question to ask in any situation is: "Is this about me?" If yes, explore deeper; if no, let it go. Recognize that not everything involves us and owning that helps put our lives together.

Most of our suffering and upset come from how tightly we hold onto our perspectives as truths and the emotional, mental, and physical behaviors we cling to that never serve us, such as perfectionism, procrastination, negative self-talk, and avoidance. When we live from a space that prevents us from experiencing our life to the fullest, where we are closed to everything and open to nothing, we keep ourselves in a cycle that pushes against growth and ourselves. There's a term for this behavior, and it's self-sabotage.  Today, you and I are taking a one-on-one deep dive into self-sabotage, what it is, and how it impacts us. Then we will move into a space where we learn to be observers of ourselves and our behaviors so that we may grow, find self-love, rest in inner peace, and fully thrive as the souls we are in our human experience.

Welcome to Pause & Affirm! This quick hit of inspiration is meant to remind you of your greatness, inner light, and peace! TAKE A MOMENT TO RELAX AND ALLOW THESE WORDS TO SETTLE IN YOUR MIND, HEART, AND SOUL. Affirming with me:   This is the last moment, day, week, month, and most certainly, the year that I willingly accept anything less than what I deserve. I'm claiming it now and refuse to go back on my word. What I deserve is far greater than what I've allowed, and that stops now. From now on, what I create and accept is written by my standards and no one else's. This is my season of reawakening. This is the season of honoring myself. This is the season that I toss out the limits and unwind my anxious mind. This is the season of me, and there's not a single person, feeling, event, or thought that is going to get in my way. As of today, I WILL no longer accept anything less than what I deserve! Love this pause and affirm and want to keep the inspiration and conversation going?

Welcome to another enlightening episode of the Get Your Life Together Girl Podcast. Today's episode is a must-listen as we explore the complex world of validation – both internal and external – and how they coexist in our quest for self-acceptance. We all seek validation—to feel accepted and understood. Social media bombards us with ideas of what validation should look like but remember it's both an inner and outer process. Today we'll explore how validating yourself can reduce dependence on others' opinions. Let's dive into why both internal and external validation are necessary for a fulfilling life. Let's dive right in! Key Points: The Need for Validation: We delve into why every person craves validation, the role social media plays in shaping our perceptions of it, and why seeking external affirmation isn't inherently negative. Two-Step Process: Discover how validation operates on two levels – outer (external) and inner (self-validation). Learn why balancing both is essential to personal growth. External vs Internal Validation: Danielle breaks down what each type entails, their importance, potential pitfalls, and misconceptions surrounding them. Self-Validation Challenges: Understand the barriers that prevent us from validating ourselves including limiting beliefs, past traumas, and societal expectations. Practical Tips & Techniques: Receive actionable advice on how to start affirming yourself through examples of self-validation statements and a four-step process aimed at fostering self-appreciation without over-reliance on others' opinions. Radical Genuineness: Embrace radical genuineness by accepting all parts of yourself unapologetically; learn to differentiate between feeling an emotion versus being defined by it. Past Influences on Present Feelings: Gain insight into recognizing when past experiences influence current emotions affecting self-validation efforts. Why Self-Validation Can Be Hard: Explore reasons behind struggles with self-validation linked to cultural norms or individual upbringing that may hinder relying on one's judgment. Remember: No amount of outside approval will fill you up if there's an absence inside; true fulfillment comes from syncing internal acknowledgment with positive external feedback.

Welcome to Pause & Affirm! This quick hit of inspiration is meant to remind you of your greatness, inner light, and peace! TAKE A MOMENT TO RELAX AND ALLOW THESE WORDS TO SETTLE IN YOUR MIND, HEART, AND SOUL. Affirming with me:   The old version of me is proud of the person I am today. I realize now how far I have come. I know that the weight of not being good. Enough and not there yet are self-imposed roadblocks that have kept this version of me standing on the sidelines of my life. Those sidelines are not covered in peace. They are battlefields tIhat destroy me from the inside out. So, today I'm making a choice, a decision, a choice to no longer stand there. I will no longer be hindered by judgment, fear, or lack. I give myself permission to be prosperous. I allow myself to step back and step forward and give myself joy. I am on the path of discovery that ultimately builds and rebuilds the very best of me in this whole, happy, complete life. Yes, those old versions of me are proud. I know today that I am a beautiful, wonderful soul. Love this pause and affirm and want to keep the inspiration and conversation going?
