Why isn’t your life better? Let’s take a moment to listen to how you talk to yourself. Do you say… “I achieved _____but that’s not as good as ________.” “I haven’t achieved enough, yet?” “I should be further along!” Notice how this makes you feel? Do you feel frustrated with yourself? Do you feel unworthy? […]
This isn’t a proud moment right now. But it’s my turn to own my story and love myself in this moment as I share it with you. The objections in my head say Don’t do it! Stop! You know better than to do this now so don’t bother sharing your wrong ways. No one will […]
