Just a brief update and behind the scenes messages in between regular episodes.

Life can be BUSY, CHAOTIC AND STRESSFUL, let's not lose sight of ourselves in the midst of it all. Schedule, yes, schedule time for yourself. Learn to take care of you. ▪︎Instagram: @conversationswithilene ▪︎Facebook: conversationswithilene ▪︎Twitter: @convoswithilene

Sometimes the simplest things create that much needed mindset shift. Choose to soothe your soul, be brave enough to begin your healing process.

Throughout our lives we will have many relationships, be it family, friends, or business. Each of these holds a different place in our daily lives and its important to realize how to maintain them.

Got an idea? Skills? Desire to start that blog, podcast, "side hustle" ? On today's episode I discuss my own struggles and hopefully you'll see that there IS room for us all, no matter what project or idea we have. Stop with the self doubt and getting in your own way. "Expert Status" not required . DO IT ANYWAY !!!

Is it just me, or is there an unhealthy focus on trying to impress people? Is there anyone REAL out there?

More often than not, we tend to get frustrated while in "the learning process" (myself included). Some #Wisdomwednesday for you.

Grief --- it's hard, it sucks, and I don't know how to navigate this properly. Does anyone really? No, probably not. My beloved grandfather, Papá, "Mi Viejito" passed away six days ago. It's painful, raw emotion. I need to work through this.

Sometimes we get discouraged because despite our efforts we can't see the progress being made. Stay encouraged, nurture the seed.

If you've ever felt alone, lost, misunderstood, judged and broken, I understand. Please know that if we take time to change our perspective it may not be so bad.
