Hey girl, I am just so happy you are here today because we are going to have an honest and raw conversation about disappointment. While that doesn’t really sound like rainbows & butterflies & happy little unicorns, it’s important right now that we talk about these real honest conversations we need to have about some of the feelings that we’re feeling while navigating the current state of the world & the coronavirus. You know I like to talk about tangible things that you can actually implement to build a life you love & I want to keep it light and fun, but I also want to be real & raw & honest. I don’t know what your local community is like right now or the severity of the impact on you personally, and I don’t have all the answers, but I am here to tell you that I’m going to be honest & do whatever I can to help you, so I’m breaking down 3 steps that I’ve found to be helpful for navigating & dealing with disappointment or frustration in real time. I’m sending you each so much love & support, and I can’t wait to hear from you soon.
