One year ago, I walked away from an extremely toxic, four-year-long relationship and it was one of the hardest and best decisions I have ever made. While walking away from a long-term relationship that I had poured so much time and energy into was difficult the second it was over I felt so free, like this weight had been lifted off of me and my anxiety just vanished.

In this episode I discuss:

• Learning to love myself and realizing that I deserved more
• My self-improvement and self-love journey over the last year and becoming more independent
• Raising my standards and knowing what I want in life

I have grown so much over the last year and as I look back on my relationship, I wonder how I could have ever put up with such awful treatment, but we accept the love we think we deserve. I hope you know that you deserve to feel loved, respected and safe in your relationships and there is someone out there for you that will trat you right.

In 2018 I hit rock bottom. I was stuck in a job I hated, living in a house and town that didn't feel like home, far away from any friends an family. involved in a toxic relationship, dealing with anxiety and depression, smoked a pack a day and felt alone and miserable. So if you have found that you've hit rock bottom, believe me girl, I've been there.

In this episode I discuss the 3 steps to start pulling yourself out of that dark place:

1. Evaluate: Ask yourself "How did I get here?" "What went wrong?" What role did I play in getting myself here?" "What am I willing to do to change my circumstances?"

2. Assess: Figure out what you want your life to look like, set some goals and then figure out what steps you can take today, what you can start implementing right now, to show up as your best self and start changing your life. Get crystal clear on what you want and who you want to be.

3. Take Action: Now that you know what you want start cutting away everything in your life that doesn't align with your vision because that is the stuff that's weighing you down and keeping you stuck where you're at. Once you drop that your growth will skyrocket.

Wherever you are in life these steps can help you get to where you want to go, but it won't be easy, in fact it'll be really hard, just know you're not alone and everything you want is possible. You already have the power to achieve your goals, now go get them.

So many people have recommended reading Atomic Habits by James Clear and after reading it I understand why everyone from fitness influencers, minimalist youtubers and self-help podcasters have raved about this book. I got so many golden nuggets and great take aways from this book and in this episode I'm sharing 10, which only scratches the surface of what this book has to offer so I highly recommend reading it for yourself.

I'm not exaggerating when I say that this book is life changing. It is chocked full of actionable steps, mindset shifts and excellent analogies that I have found super helpful in learning and implementing the methods discussed in this book. Many things talked about in this book are tactics I used to quit smoking and implement healthy habits into my life but James Clear does a beautiful job or wording and explaining these tactics in simple actionable, attainable and easy to implement steps.

You can purchase Atomic Habits online or at your local book retailer or listen to the audio book, you won't regret it!
