How to Be Selfish

Loving when life throws us curveballs sounds like absolute garbage at first, I know, but hear me out.  Join me in this episode to understand how we can be 100% in control of how we experience life, regardless of what it throws our way. 

You are allowed to love where you are right now. You don't have to have life figured out. You don't have to have achieved all you want to achieve. You don't have to look, act, or be a certain way. Love is an emotion that's available to you regardless of where you are right now.   Join me for today's episode as I talk through why choosing to love where you are right now, regardless of where you eventually want to be, will positively impact the entire trajectory of your life.

It's HEREEEEEE!!!! Y'all, I am so happy to be back with you. Today's episode is a doozy.  We're kicking off Permission to Love with a freaking bang by exploring The Power of Love. Join me as I talk through why you're the only one who hurts when you withhold love, what you stand to gain from using love as your superpower and assign you homework (you best believe it's life-changing) to ensure you use the power of love to elevate your life.  

EEEE!!! Friends!! I am so excited to unveil our new podcast name: Permission to Love.  I'll be coming to you with our first episode this upcoming. However, in the meantime, I thought it'd be fun to share our new intro with you.  Enjoy your weekend -- I'll talk to you on Monday.

Girl, I have been having A WEEK so I decided to dish on a topic that feels all too relevant for me right now: It's OK to have a f*ck you moment. For real.  Evolving and bettering ourselves isn't some romantic walk in the park. It's uncomfortable as f*ck. Sometimes, not wanting to experience that discomfort leads to a f*ck you moment which is completely and totally OK.  Join me as I laugh through the f*ck you moment I'm currently experiencing to illustrate the power our f*ck you moments bring.

Every. Damn. Day.  There is no downside to rewarding ourselves on a consistent basis -- so why don't we? In this episode, we're going to answer that question and do some work to help you decide what and how you want to reward yourself moving forward.

Have you ever said something like, "Nobody cares about what I'm doing," or "What I'm doing doesn't matter"?  Have you ever stopped to ponder why you don't count yourself as somebody?  Today we're going to talk about the importance of acknowledging ourselves as being somebody whose opinions we value and care about, above all else. 

I'm not talking about be grateful for what you already have.  Want it.  Desire it. Pine for it.  There's a different energy that comes to the table when you choose to practice truly desiring what already exists in your life.  Join me this week as I spit some truth around what wanting what you already have can change your entire life experience. 

Seriously though, stop it. Being scared of confrontation, having too much pride to reach out first and the narrative you've created around why you can't have hard conversations are not serving you. In this week's episode, I take you through how avoiding a hard conversation ended up hurting me in the long run and how only after having the conversation did I finally give myself resolution.

Girl, we need to talk about compassion -- more specifically, your relationship with compassion and yourself. Come close, grab some earbuds and let's explore what you stand to gain from choosing compassion. 

This past week I found out my grandparents, at the ages of 81 and 75, are getting divorced. It was completely unexpected. Join me as I explain why accepting the unexpected is powerful and how to use it to benefit *you* moving forward.   

Today's episode is one of my absolute favorite things to talk about: Unconditional Love.  Making the choice to love without condition is something you do *for yourself*. When you choose to love without condition, *you* get to feel love more often.  What's the downside to that? Nothing. The answer is nothing. Join me so we can geek out over the power of unconditional love together. 

When's the last time you stopped to be grateful for what you've already created in your life? In today's episode, we talk through the importance of being rooted by identifying what roots us and exploring how to integrate an appreciation for our roots into our emotional regimen. 

You may or may not have noticed that last week it was a little quiet on the How to Be Selfish front -- this was due to a series of migraines that I was experiencing from the Mirena Crash. In today's episode, I want to talk through my experience with the Mirena IUD. The good, the bad and the downright ugly.  If you or anyone you know has, or is thinking about getting, the Mirena, please pass this episode along to them. The more knowledge you have, the more empowered decision you can make for yourself.  *Note: I am not a doctor. This episode outlines my personal experience with the Mirena. This episode is intended for awareness -- I am not suggesting you do or do not do anything with your body. 

In today's episode, I talk through the importance of setting goals that are going to be fun and enjoyable for you in 2019. 

This week's episode is short and sweet because I want you to do one thing: focus on joy.  What creates joy in your life? Whatever it is, run towards it.
