What comes to mind when you think of "conflict"? Is it arguing, yelling, something bad, frustrating, stressful, or blame? Emotions can definitely be pretty high when entering conflict and often times we mistake conflict with arguing.

Happy New Year! To be honest- I have a love/hate relationship with this time of year as everyone talks about "resolutions" and "goals" and everyone is showing up with shiny motivation. While I think this time of the year is a good opportunity to carve out some time to actually think about goals, check your heart, and reflect on what you learned in the past year.

We often hear "time is your most precious gift" I'd like to argue and say it's actually your energy. Because if you had no energy, how to you utilize your time well?

Girl, you're worth it. It's so simple for me to say that to you yet so hard to receive it and believe it. We walk around so often questioning our worth and often struggle with our worth because we're told from the media or others we need to change the way we look, change our clothes, or change our personality in order to accept ourselves. This episode is a reminder that your value is not determined by what you do what you look like. Consider this conversation just one big affirmation.
