We all have our bucket of stress, but are our stress management techniques doing more harm than good? On this episode I am getting vulnerable and letting you in on my struggle with stress. I know sometimes when I open up and just share my struggles, they can be validating to some of you. Personally, I know when I hear other people's struggles, I too am validated. I hope this helps you next time you you are dealing with stress of your own.

I want to talk about excuses because I think sometimes they hold us back. And many people don't realize how much they can hold us back. There is a fine line between making an excuse and honoring yourself. When we can start to identify where those excuses are coming into our lives and what they are speaking over us, we can begin to stand against them and lean on what is true and what we desire.
