Imagine your life is a bus ride. There are all these passengers on board. Among them are Your Heart is the driver. Imagine you’re cruising along smooth and steady with Heart expertly at the wheel, when suddenly… …Fear looks out the window and doesn’t like what she sees. She loses her shit and jumps up, […]

So you wanna set some boundaries… Before we jump into that, have you read last week’s post?  Check it out here:  Boundaries 101 Now let’s get clear on what a boundary isn’t: It’s not an ultimatum or a threat. It’s not about manipulating or controlling other people. Boundaries are a way of loving yourself. It sets […]

I know… I know… I’m all sunshine and love most the time, but hear me out… You have goals, hopes, and dreams for you and your future. You set intentions and repeat your affirmations.
