Show yourself love - Daily Affirmations with Coleen will be a weekly affirmation stop point where I’ll list out 10 affirmations for you to say out loud to yourself, write them down on your phone, or add as a new journal entry which you then reflect on throughout your day and week.

Speaking affirmations to yourself can shift negative thoughts and promote confidence, positivity, self-love, and motivation.

Affirmations are my tool kit for starting out each day when I’m high, excited when I’m feeling a little low, or when someone gives me the ick.

Here are this week's affirmations 

1. I am enough. I have enough.
2. I am in the right place, at the right time, doing the right thing.
3. I can do hard things.
4. I allow myself to be more fully me.
5. I believe in myself. 
6. I am refreshed and full of energy 
7. I will fill my days with positive activities that make me happier.
8. I will accomplish my goals today and for this week 
9. I choose to see the beauty in every moment especially those that are stretching and teaching me to grow
10. I accept myself exactly as I am without judgment.

Remember be your own cheerleader.

Ever feel like you're stuck within the armor you've built around yourself? You're not alone. This episode takes a profound dive into my own journey, revealing the ups and downs of navigating through life while grappling with the armor I've worn for years, protecting me from disappointment, heartbreak, and failure. From being an insecure 15-year-old dealing with the heartbreak of losing a child to growing into a confident woman in her 40s, I share experiences that have been pivotal to my personal development.

Was there ever a time you doubted your own identity? Let's explore it together. I delve into my past, unearthing relationships that pushed me to grow too fast, the ones that made me realize the facade I had created, and how breaking free from them led to the rediscovery of my true self. Listen in as I share my transformation, my journey from shutting down to opening up, from holding back to stepping into vulnerability, and from suppressing emotions to embracing them. 

At last, have you ever wondered what it would feel like to take off the armor you've been wearing for years? I promise you a deep and moving discussion on this very topic. Reflect with me as I talk about the arduous process of removing the armor and the steps I've taken towards vulnerability. This journey may be hard, it may be painful, but one thing is sure - it's necessary for growth. Join me, let's together unlock our potential. Let's brave the journey of self-discovery, self-acceptance, and vulnerability. Because together, we can strive, we can fly.

In this episode we discuss ‘Vulnerability’ - Do you dare to be vulnerable?

For many of us who have experienced some form of childhood trauma, avoiding emotional vulnerability might have been our survival tactic. I was naturally a quiet child who felt very different, having a teen pregnancy, and firsthand witnessing my parent's divorce. I  learned to not dwell on emotional pain, suppress and erase. Now I unpack how I transformed suppression into expression,
