how does change happen? Hello! Join me this month for this short and sweet video invitation to cultivate compassion for yourself as you take steps towards change in your life.

The key to making lasting change is crafting a daily self-care practice that is tangible, will have an impact over time, and is simple enough that you will most likely do it eve ..read more

What is Toxic Positivity? Hello! Join me this month as I talk about toxic positivity and how to practice loving yourself no matter what. To be clear, our brain does have a negativity bias and we do need to actively seek out the positive and practice gratitude... Toxic positivity is something else entirely.

And when buried, these parts don't disappear or live in the past, they fester and breed and show up in our relationships whether we want them ..read more
