  • It's OK to not be OK Right Now

    The world is no longer as it used to be, this is a fact we have to face ever since the onslaught of COVID-19. We are now observing a new normal that we are still adjusting to.

I seek to give each one the encouragement you need and to tell you that feelings of ‘not being okay’ shouldn’t stress you out because IT IS OKAY TO NOT BE OKAY RIGHT NOW.

            • Making Peace With Your Past and the Importance of Positive Affirmations with Jill Romig

              We often deal with trauma from our past by moving on. We move on without doing the work to deal with our issues, our pain. But by not allowing ourselves to heal from our old wounds, we allow the pain to surface again when we get older, when our bodies change and our hormones drop, which in turn, affect our emotions and our mood.

              In this episode, Jill Romig talks about the journey she took to heal herself from her past to become the best version of herself. She also shares how positive affirmations can help you reach the success you desire. 

              It is never too late. If you’ve been dealing with the past coming up and preventing you from living your best life yet then tune in to this episode!

              About the Guest:

              Jill Romig is passionate about helping women make peace with their past, step into their own, and become more comfortable and confident in their skin through her Living Boldly coaching program. At 53, she finally figured a few things out and is excited to share with women struggling with aging, fitness, nutrition, intimacy, and fashion. Despite being an accomplished CPA and a fitness instructor for 25 years, she struggled for many years over her weight, self-image, self-worth, and self-esteem.

              She made a shift in her mid-40s as she immersed herself into self-help and learned about the law of attraction, vibrations, source energy, and positive affirmations to become the best version of herself. All of what she has learned she then applied to her coaching program, Living Boldly.

              The global health crisis due to the coronavirus has placed a huge emphasis on the need to take care of one’s body. If we wish to be part of the solution, then we have to make sure that we are healthy.
