You were meant to be FREE!
If you’re feeling weighed down, and stuck in the struggle… Or you feel like the only thing you can remember is the anxiety and fear… I want to remind you of the truth of who you are. We all deserve to know who we are, and get to enjoy being our true self.
Do you remember a time when you were little when you just felt FREE?! Maybe you were dancing around your living room. Maybe you were laughing with a friend. Maybe you were playing dress up, or just playing pretend. Maybe you were digging for something in a sandbox. Whatever it was, can you think of a time?
THAT IS WHO YOU ARE! This essence. This being that came into the world as LOVE.
I know things can feel so far from that when you're struggling and when life feels confusing and painful.
But know that you are meant to be free. You are meant to have the life you desire. You are meant to feel powerful, confident, capable, and loved.
And in case this is difficult, and you've really forgotten, I want you to think of a song you like, one that's danceable, and blast it. Right now. Blast it, and move your body. I guarantee that you will feel differently than you did the moment before.
In these little ways we can begin to remember something bigger. The Truth of who you are is so much more than you're seeing right now. Your potential is infinite, and has nothing to do with your past or where you are right now.
I want nothing more than to see you free from the pain that is weighing you down, and seeing you letting all that amazing YOU out into the world! Unleashing it!!!
Comment below and let me know what this inspires in you, and one tiny thing you can do today to feel that freedom and tap into the real YOU. ❤️

When you learn how to listen to your intution over your fear, life can expand in all the ways you’ve dreamed of. Being willing to work with fear allows you to feel free to live the life you know deep down you desire.
When we go against our natural rhythm, it can lead to exhaustion, anxiety, and overwhelm among other things. Learn how and why to allow yourself to rest, pause, and do less, so that you can have more energy, feel happier, and feel more like yourself. If you’re HSP (a Highly Sensitive Person), you may have a biological reason for needing more rest and downtime. Gain knowledge I use in life coaching to help people know and honor what pace works for them.
When we feel stuck in life, sometimes what we need is a good dose of courage. If we’re willing to look within ourselves and face what’s there, we become free. From there, we can gain clarity and learn how to just be ourselves. We go from powerlessness to empowered, and insecurity to self-confidence. Life coaching can help you have the motivation for this type of work.
With all that’s going on in the world, you might feel overwhelmed and feel waves of emotions. If you’re a highly sensitive person (HSP) you may feel this more than others. Journaling is a powerful tool I use as a life coach to help people gain clarity, have more ease, and find direction in their lives. Use these journaling prompts to slow down and hear your own inner voice.
Learn how to feel like you’re doing enough by using this shift in perspective, and finally start to feel ok resting and relaxing. We often feel overwhelmed and overworked, yet think we need to keep going and do more. The truth is you’re doing enough, and there is a lot of value in resting, play, and pleasure. Gain self-worth by not putting all your worth in your productivity.
In our culture, we often identify our worth with our busyness, and wear busyness as a badge of honor. But all this running around can leave us exhausted and disconnected. It’s empowering to realize how much of a choice you have in what and how much you do, and that you have more of a say than you think. With this shift, you can start to prioritize and live according to your values. What a breath of fresh air and way less burden to carry.
How many ways do we doubt ourselves? Let me count the ways! It’s become so ingrained in our culture, especially if you identify as a woman, to doubt yourself - what you do, how you dress, how much you do, what you say, what you look like… Yet, this is not our natural state. We weren’t born doubting. We learned to doubt. And we can make the empowered CHOICE to begin to TRUST. Yes, it’s a choice, and it can be practiced and learned.
In a culture that expects us to be constantly productive, and lives little time or wisdom for slowing down, it’s easy to become disconnected with the truth of who we are. I work with coaching clients all the time who feel this way - they don’t have a clear sense of their true self. But who we are is underneath all that pressure and busyness. It’s there in the stillness. It’s our essence, and it can never be taken away or lost, only recovered.
When we want more connection, at the heart of that we’re seeking more love in our lives. And although we think we’ll get that from someone else, it actually first starts within ourselves. Three things that can create deeper love and connection in your relationships (including the one with yourself) are vulnerability, courage, and loving-kindness. Learn more about how to embody these energies to create deeper connection in yourself and your relationships.
Perfectionism is something that can keep us stuck or stop us dead in our tracks. It can quickly drain us of our energy and leave us feeling powerless. But, when we shift our view of mistakes, and understand what’s underneath that fear of messing up, we can start taking our power back and feeling more free. Perfectionism doesn’t have to control you if you don’t want it to.
People-pleasing is a habit that can be such a nuisance. But when we learn the truth about what we’re believing and affirming when we people-please, it’s enough to help us break out of this habit and start living a life that’s true to ourselves. Use these helpful perspectives to help break out of people-pleasing mode.
Do you have a desire deep within you to be able to express yourself more? Or to feel like it’s safe to be yourself? It may be just what your soul needs, and one of the keys to unlocking fulfillment and satisfaction in your life.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, you might think the best thing to do is to try to get a bunch done, so you can feel better, right? But how’s that been working so far? The answer to your overwhelm might not be what you think it is.
Life isn’t just about goals or constant productivity. But we live in a culture that worships the masculine energies (like achieving goals and productivity) and forgets about the power of the feminine energies (like intuition and presence). Understanding the feminine energies can help us move out of perfectionism and start choosing process over perfection. What a breath of fresh air and a weight off your shoulders!
Life’s magic lies in uncertainty, yet when we have anxiety or are filled with fear, that’s the last thing we want. But, when we learn how to ride those waves of uncertainty, and begin to feel SAFE letting go of control, that’s when life opens up and we can do, be, and have what we truly desire, without feeling held back or limited by the need to control and have it all figured out.
