Eliminate Shame
You should be ashamed of yourself!!! โโ
How many of us have heard that statement a time or two in our lives??
Other people’s unmet expectations ending with a on slotย of shamming ๐ . NO FUN and in many cases unwarranted.
Yet shame is used all around us. We shame our children into doing the right thing, we shame our friends for hurting our feelings our failing us, we shame our spouses into doing what we want and the list goes on and on. ๐๐
We use shame as a โmotivating toolโ, yet has it EVER positively worked??
Yes, maybe it will change the behavior in the short term but in the long run it ends in resentment, regret and disapproval.๐๐
WE NEED TO FIND A BETTER WAY!
A better way of communicating our needs, wants and desires. A better way of communicating our disapproval or dissatisfaction with something. A better way of motivating one another.
SHAME IS considered to be the MOST DESTRUCTIVE EMOTION a human can harbor. Most destructive!!
So letโs put an end to the should filled shames and start learning a better way. ๐๐
To help you start your journey, check out this weekโs episode of Mind Right Monday to learn how to Overcome Shame.
Until next time, keep being awesome!

Win the War for Your Worth ๐ช!
Why is your worth in question? ๐
I donโt care what the internet ๐ฅtells you, we all struggle with insecurities. Sometimes they can be a poke in the side, others a paralyzing force, crippling our best intentions.
But why is it that during these insecure moments, our worth comes into play?
Why is it that because our parents were incapable of loving, supporting or nurturing us that our worth goes under fire๐ฅ?
Why is it when we fail at something, make a mistake or do something embarrassing our worth comes into question?!?
It just isnโt fair ๐ก!
Yet, we do this to ourselves over and over again ๐. We question our value and worth with the slightest of mistakes andโฆ this needs to change.
The things that happen to us, through us or for us do not need to define your worth. WE GET TO DECIDE WHAT MAKES US WORTHY!! โโ
The truth is, we are the definer, the storyteller, the decider of what makes us worthy or not and the NOT is fueled by lies.
Soโฆ ๐ซLetโs stop lying to ourselvesย and start writing a new definition that validates our divine truth; that we ARE WORTHY! ๐
To help you accomplish this, check out this weekโs Episode of our Mind Right Monday ๐ฅ to learn how to: Win the War For Your Worth!
Until next time, keep being awesome!

3 Tips to Increase Self Love
Self-Care. ๐ค๐ค
ย
We all have heard the old saying โtake care of yourselfโ, but what does that honestly mean and how does one go about doing such a thing?
We have so many things demanding our everyday attention ๐ฌthat it becomes hard to answer these questions honestly.
Do you even know what you need?
For most of us the answer is no. We are too distracted, too overwhelmed, too disconnected to really know how to โtake care of ourselvesโ. ๐๐
This has become a crisis in our society that needs our attention. ย When we lose the essential connection to ourselves how can we ever expect to be happy or make others happy?
Sure we can fake it for a while but for lasting joy to flourish ๐in our lives, we need to be deeply connected to ourselves.
So how does one go about doing this?? Easy, simply watch this weekโs episode of ๐ฅMind Right Monday to learn all about it and the 3-ways you too can practice better self-care!
Until next time, keep being awesome!

Overcome Emotional Eating
Stop Emotional Eating ๐ข
You might not know this about me, but I struggled for years with an eating disorder. I was a severe emotional eater. ๐ข
What I didnโt know at the time was my emotional eating was how I coped with feeling less than. ๐
I could quickly numb out from the feeling to temporarily feel relief. But the relief was short lived as the self-shaming cycle begin. ๐ช
Whatever problems I was struggling with seem to disappear behind the mask of self-loathing and self-hatred. It was the perfect distraction and yet the pain was twice as severe. ๐
It sucked.
Untangling the emotional eating mental trap that keeps us hostage๐ซ isnโt an easy one, but it is the most rewarding investment you could ever make
I say investment because honestly, you canโt overcome this on your own. Thereโs no magic pill ๐you can take to make it all go away, no, rather you will need to invest in your mental and emotional self.
This investment could just be time ๐, but in most cases, like it was for me, it was an investment of time, effort and money. Although the thought of an investment at that time felt overwhelming and painful, I look back now willing to have paid double ๐ธfor the rewards I have receive
I share this to encourage you. To encourage you to do something, hire someone, seek guidance and for the love of goodness sake, get out from hiding ๐in the closet!
If you struggle, admission is the first step to healing ๐. You are not alone and there are solutions, if you are looking for them.
And in the meantime, check out this weekโs ๐ฌMind Right Monday where I share with you 3-Tips to help you stop emotional eating. Be sure to let me know if you are seeking help!
Until next time,

Expectations + Heartache ๐๐
This quote couldn’t be more true: โExpectations are the root to most heartacheโ
– unknown.
The expectation that are child will listen, our parents will love, respect or honor us. ๐The expectation that our spouse will always be on time, or that our friends will never forget out birthdays.๐
Our lives are filled with both spoken & unspoken expectations. These verbal and non-verbal contracts allows us to feel connected along with feeling deeply betrayed ๐.
โBut are our expectations fair or do they need to be examinedโ
Honestly, most of our expectations arenโt fair at all ๐! In fact we hold them over people without ever having a conversation, agreement, taken into consideration their needs/wants or even given a second thought to whether or not they are even capable of upholding our expectations ๐ฑ.
This is a recipe for heartache ๐and disappointment.
So what do we do? Well for starters check out this weekโs episode of ๐ฅMind Right Monday where I discuss the Emotionally Intelligent approach to expectations. Here I will share 3-tips to harnessing your expectation weapons and setting you emotionally up for success!
Oh, and be sure to share it with a ๐friend who you know could use it!
Until next time, keep being awesome!

3 Habits to Create Lasting Change
Change. (For real) ๐ค
I donโt believe there is 1-person on this planet ๐ who doesnโt want to change some aspect of themselves or life.
Desiring change is healthy ๐(well, as long as your motives are healthy). But in most cases itโs also quite difficult.
I mean honestly, who hasnโt set their intention to change and ended with a big-o hand smack to the face. ๐
But, why? Why is it so hard!! ย ๐ค
Well, truthfully it isnโt because youโre weak, pathetic, lame, or a loser, like your mind might tell you. No. Rather, itโs because the change you desire isnโt a neuro habit your brain recognizes and thus it defaults back to the old behaviors (over and over again).
Itโs nice knowing youโre not broken, isnโt it! ๐ค๐ค
Your brain simply needs a little boost to get over the โold way of thinkingโ hump ๐ itโs stuck behind. To help you do this, check out this weekโs Mind Right Monday Episode ๐ฌwhere I share my 3-tips to help you create lasting change!
Itโs a fun easy way to learn in 10-minutes or less! So, check it out and be sure to share it with your friends! You can email them this email ๐, share the video on FB ๐, and even thumbs up it on YouTube ๐! Weโve got your social media needs covered!
