Embracing worthiness during family gatherings and holidays can be challenging when the negative voice in our heads amplifies feelings of unworthiness. By recognizing this voice as a faulty car alarm and shifting our focus, we can detach from its influence. Redirecting our thoughts to seek the truth and adopting a positive narrative allows us to maintain a positive mindset. Embracing worthiness is an ongoing journey that requires practice and patience, but it empowers us to navigate these situations with confidence and self-worth.
The Surprising Secret to Boost Your Confidence Before a Big Date
Escape the suffocating cycle of worthlessness that traps you. Break free by acknowledging the unrealistic stories that hold you back from embracing your true self. Instead of chasing unattainable ideals, prioritize deliberate actions that reinforce your worth. It's not about perfection or societal expectations; it's about honoring your journey, showing yourself love and kindness. Rewrite your narrative, take small steps, and watch your self-worth flourish. Embrace who you truly are and embark on a fulfilling path of self-love and acceptance. You deserve it all. Step into the worthy cycle and unleash your potential.

These were little compromises, tiny seemingly-harmless shape-shifty-things. I'd backed myself into a corner of a very small cage. And I wasn't okay in there. Something needed to change.
Know-It-Alls Are Not Sexy

Yah. I hate those kind of people.
And I hated it even more when I found out that I AM one of those people.

How to Know When It's Over
Whether you're wondering about ending a friendship, leaving a marriage, setting hard boundaries with a family member or quitting a job, these three steps will help you clearly define when it's over (and when it's not).
6 Steps to Courageous Intimacy
Courageous Intimacy is the sharing of all of one's heart with one another. And I'm not talking about sharing the pretty parts - like love and joy - with each other (although that's great and I encourage you to do so). I mean sharing all of you: the good, the bad and the ugly. Sharing who you really are—which is a practice of unending vulnerability.
