Today, we’re diving into an eye-opening topic: The Five People You Spend the Most Time With. Are they fueling your fire, or are they draining your energy? We often don’t realize how much our inner circle shapes our mindset, emotions, and even our future. I recently had a conversation with my mom that made me take a step back and truly evaluate how I feel after spending time with certain people. It was a wake-up call! So, I’m sharing my experience and encouraging you to check in with yourself this week—who’s in your circle, and how are they affecting you?

In this episode, we’ll discuss:
 ✨ How the people around you influence your energy and success
 ✨ Signs that someone in your circle may be draining you
 ✨ How to assess your relationships and set boundaries when needed

Key Takeaways:

✔️ You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.
✔️ Notice how you feel after interactions—energized or drained?
✔️ If you can’t change the people around you, set boundaries to protect your energy.
✔️ Find communities that uplift and inspire you!

 I dive deep into the often-overlooked power of self-celebration. I shares a personal story of confronting a one-star review and how it sparked a realization: you can't please everyone, and that's a GOOD thing! Learn why celebrating your daily wins, big and small, is essential for your well-being, and how to ditch the people-pleasing mentality. Get ready to embrace your "not pizza" self and unleash your celebration power! 

Key Takeaways:

• Self-celebration is essential for recognizing your achievements and improving your well-being.
• Daily wins, no matter how small, deserve to be celebrated.
• Embrace your "not pizza" self and stop trying to please everyone.
• Start a "celebration win journal" to track your daily victories.
• Celebrating yourself gives others permission to do the same.

In today's episode of My Shower Sprinkle, I take you on a deeply personal journey, sharing my own story of battling illness and how it shaped my identity over the years.  Reflecting on a powerful memory, I revisit the moment 10 years ago when I had my first surgery and the surgeries that followed. I talk about facing physical challenges and health battles and how I redefine who I am, but also how these challenges can lead to growth, purpose, and a new understanding of what truly matters in life.

I talk about the struggles of dealing with chronic health issues and how, for a time, my identity was tied to being sick. I share how my perspective has shifted, emphasizing the importance of embracing change, helping others, and finding joy even in difficult times. My mission now is to spread hope and positivity by bringing smiles to others, especially through the parties my organization does for kids in the hospital.
