Find You Fall In Love

I've spent the last two weeks working to step back and figure out my path...a deeper dive into me if you will. And what has been coming up is fear...not of failure...but of success. So let's talk a little about that and what that means. 

**trigger warning - child sexual abuse and ptsd** - skip to 6:30 to avoid that. I keep trying like hell to set goals and i'm struggling deeply with that right now. So let's talk about that and a few questions that you can ask yourself to move forward. 

We all have pre-concieved notions about ourselves and others we encounter. We make snap judgements and they can impact how we view the world around us and each other. Even ourselves. Today I'm going to talk more deeply and openly about some judgements I made about some family members and how that affected how I saw them. At the end I detail an exercise that will help you begin to dive into this part of your shadows.

Becoming a parent doesn't come with a manual. You're going to screw it up. 

The only thing you can really do is show up, be there and do the very best you can with the information you have available to you. 

Trigger warning: sexual abuse and rape - strong sexual language 

Today I'm going to share part of my story and hopefully help to change the narrative around rape and body autonomy. After years of not talking about it, I'm attempting to heal from it. I'm going to discuss the steps I'm taking to regain my autonomy or establish it in the first place and also how i'm coping. 

We are in a period where we are being called to unlearn old patterns and way of thinking and relearn new history and new ways of thinking. At a time when I believe we all may have lost our ability to trust certain people IF you ever had the ability to trust to begin with. I find that for me personally when my trust in others was violated it also impacted my ability to trust myself so I wanted to connect with you on that and give you steps to take to regain your own self trust and love. 

I recorded this episode at the end of May and I feel it's as relevant if not more relevant. It all begins with us as individuals and frankly yall parenting is HARD! I love you all and honestly make sure you check out episode 13 on How to Bounce back after a bad mom day. I love you all and i'd love to hear your thoughts!

This month is pride month. A time of celebration of LGBTQ+ lives. I really wanted to touch on something very important to me. I'm telling a little of my story and also speaking to those who are still closeted. <3 You are loved. 

This time can also bring up a whole lot feelings and stress for some and with the chaos going on in the world it can amplify that. 

A few things mentioned in the episode:

The Trevor Project - www.thetrevorproject.org and their hotline is 866-488-7386

National Suicide Hotline - 800-273-8255

We have chords that attach us to other people. Sometimes the relationships with those people are toxic and the chords need to be cut. But could there be another way if the relationship isn't toxic? Could those chords to be healed? Let's talk about that 

When we sit and think about money we can often times approach everything from a negative mindset. And today I want to help you flip the script simply by changing the question that you ask yourself.
