You know those moments, or days even where you just feel like you are stuck in a mental rut? Where you know from the beginning that it is going to be an uphill struggle to maintain a positive attitude so you decide why even bother - today is just going to be one of those days. We have all been there and some seasons these days happen more often than we would like.

Sharing with you today quick tips to help boost your positivity, so that you don’t have to stay down for long & can find some immediate joy to hold on to and help get you through your day!

Showing up today with no outline, just a heart that wants to give it to you straight. To be direct and clear as I possibly can be. No fluff, no list, just a word of encouragement for the heart that is in desperate need. Desperate to feel seen, to feel validated, and understood. I see you friend and I am here and you are not alone. Today’s episode is a moment to remind you that your presence and your voice matters, as well as a few other reminders to encourage you along the way.

It’s a brand new month, August is here and with it so many things can change.

August is back to reality, back to routines and schedules and growing to-do lists full of things that need to be done. But August also is fun and exciting with the expectation of all things fall on the horizon.

This month I am cheering you on friend, believing that you can be the version of yourself you have always dreamed of being this very month and sharing with you exactly how in this rendition of our August intentional to-do list!

We’re talking about the power of rest without guilt, why slowing down matters, and how to actually prioritize rest!

Let’s release the pressure together—and find peace in the pause.

Keeping it real friends! Sharing with you 2 things you can do to change how you can show up for other people AND yourself this week!

And an important heart reminder that you are not alone.

July is here—and maybe you're feeling the pressure to make the most of summer, keep the kids entertained, stay on top of everything at home or work… all while somehow resting too?

It can feel like a lot. That’s why today, we’re taking a different approach.

Instead of chasing productivity, I’m inviting you into a slower, more intentional way to move through this month.

In this episode, I’m sharing a gentle, approach to a joy-filled July to-do list—not one packed with tasks, but with heart-centered prompts to help you live with more peace, purpose, and presence.

We tend to make things a little harder than they need to be, without always realizing that sometimes it really is the little things.

What if you woke up each day and did ONE tiny thing first thing in the morning to bring you abundant joy?

So that you can start your day on the right foot, with the right mindset, ready and eager to do the things you need to do for the rest of the day.

It is absolutely possible and today I am sharing with you exactly how. Little things you can do to start your day with more joy!

In all honesty, I am having a hard time right now showing up as myself in the different moments of my day.

My heart just feels heavy based on the state of our world right now.

Scrolling on my phone truly does feel like doom scrolling these days, yet I keep doing it, hoping to read something that will feel encouraging.

A bit of hope that I can hold on too.

This episode is for you, if you too are overwhelmed and feeling discouraged by the state of the world we live in in 2025.

Speaking from the raw, vulnerable parts of my heart in hopes that you know you are not alone, to remind you that how you feel, and the thoughts you have matter & to share with you a few things you can do, really focus on, when the world feels as heavy as it’s been feeling these days!
