She married her high school sweetheart and taught kindergarten in Atlanta, Georgia before transitioning to homeschooling her own five children aboard sailing vessel Take Two. 

She’s lived aboard, traveled, and written for the Take Two Sailing blog for more than a decade. She has always had a bad case of wanderlust, having taken countless road trips as a child, spent a semester abroad during college, and honeymooned in Central America.

Over the last several years of studying self development, self care, personal growth and spirituality I have become very familiar with the "Law of Attraction" and many similar concepts.

Recently I discovered what it is about Law of Attraction that is TRUE and what parts of Law of Attraction have been blown out of proportion. In this episode we demystify law of attraction, the concept of "act as if", money manifestation principles, "what you focus on will grow" and more.

When you're applying for a job, if you list "perfectionism" as one of your skills on your resume, you might be considered the "ideal candidate", we pride ourselves on being perfect. But perfectionism is an unattainable ideal that stops us from being the best version of ourselves and from creating the life of our dreams.

When we choose perfectionism, we are saying "no" to our realness, rawness, authenticity, uniqueness, humanness and vulnerability. What even is "perfect"? If your ideal of perfection and mine are totally different, there is no true "perfection". Our BEST self is the real and authentic version of who we TRULY are, at the core of our being. Showing up in the world as "perfect" is a distraction from who we truly are. It causes us to be "fake", it causes our relationships to lack depth and meaning. It sacrifices real experiences. 

If you wait until you are perfect or until your life is perfect to start dating, to go to the gym, to start your dream business, to write a book, etc. You will wait your whole life. You won't ever be perfect, your life won't ever be perfect, but it can be REAL.

With Valentine's day right around the corner, the love is in the air! But what about self love?

You are worthy of your own love, validation, acceptance and appreciation.

We've all heard the phrase "You can only love another as much as you love yourself" BUT I'd like to take this idea a bit further... You can't love any aspect of your life (not your relationships, your career, your hobbies, etc) until you love yourself. The reason being, wherever you go, there you are. You are the common denominator for EVERY area in your life. It starts with you, baby!

Here are 3 ways to welcome more self love into your life:

1. Create a routine. A daily self care practice where you can truly nourish your body, mind, heart and soul!

2. Do what feels good. Duh. This seems obvious but we have a tendency to agree to too many things, things that we dont WANT to do in the first place. This is an act of self betrayal. Everything you say "yes" to is a "no" to something else. What are you saying no to? No to your own time? Energy? Sanity? No. No. No..

3. BOUNDARIES. We are very familiar with boundaries and how they are important  for our relationships BUT what about the boundaries you set with yourself? The bed time boundary, the Netflix boundary, the social media boundary? Self boundaries help you stay accountable in your self love practices. Click here for a whole episode on boundaries!

BUT THEN WHAT?! 

You agree to start a routine... but what do you do in your routine? You start saying NO to things that don't light you up... but what do you do with the extra energy? You set boundaries and free up and TON of time... okay? What do I do with that time?

Below are the 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman (Click here to get his book) and ways to use them for SELF LOVE

Quality Time: Cut out time to be alone, whether it's a hot bath, a walk in nature or a quiet meditation. Some serious Me, Myself and I time!

Acts of Service: Do things to support yourself like meal prep or goal setting and planning.

Words of Affirmation: Create affirmations for your meditation practice, to write in your journal or to say in there mirror. (here's whole episode on affirmations!)

Physical Touch: Anything that makes your body feel GOOD! Light stretching, hot bath, self massage, fuzzy blankets.

Gifts: Investing in things for yourself. Buy yourself a new journal or a candle for your nighttime bath.
