1:1 Coaching Package

“The goal isn’t more money. The goal is living life on YOUR TERMS.”-Chris Brogan
.
.
When I was working my 9-5, I used to be so consumed with the idea of making “more money.” I was up to my neck in student loan debt, working long hours with unpaid overtime and just wanted financial freedom to reduce the crippling stress I was feeling. I thought having a better income would make everything better.
.
.
When I started my private practice, I realized that not only could financial freedom be achieved, but there was so much more freedom I didn’t even account for. The biggest freedom? TIME. Time for self-care. Time for my family. Time to get things on my to-do list done. Time to breathe. Time to travel. Time to live the life I wanted to live. In many ways, this allowed me more space to grow in my business because I wasn’t feeling consumed by the stress anymore. I was taking care of myself and my personal needs which in turn allowed me to be more productive and successful in working with my clients.

Choose it. Everyday isn’t going to be a good day. Life can be hard. Bad things sometimes happen. You’re going to feel stressed at times. BUT remember that happiness is a choice. It’s so easy to give into the stress and negativity. It’s MUCH harder to stay positive. Each day, try to identify ONE positive. Each day, try to show gratitude. Smile, even when it’s hard. And remember, you deserve to experience happiness. Remember, whatever you’re going through will pass. Remember, you are loved. .

Let’s talk about FOOD + MOOD! As a mental health professional, I wholeheartedly believe in working towards overall wellness, meaning mental health treatment is not just about going to therapy, but also about making overall lifestyle changes-including being conscious of what we put into our bodies!
.
.
There is so much evidence to support that what we put into our bodies can directly impact to our mood. So while I 100% think everyone could benefit from therapy, that’s just one component of working towards overall wellness. The work we do outside of the sessions is JUST AS IMPORTANT as the work we do during the sessions!
.
.
Reducing caffeine, sugar, processed foods, dairy, gluten, and alcohol intake will help significantly in improving mood! Think about it: when we eat like crap, we feel like crap. Low energy, irritability, anxiety, fatigue, and moodiness are all bound to happen. And we have ALL been there! .
.
My favorite way to incorporate fresh ingredients is by making smoothies! Smoothies are the best because there are SO MANY recipes available that are quick, easy, and don’t need to break the bank! Also, pretty sure I’m going to look like a smoothie soon 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️
.
.
Start with working on ways to improve at least one meal or snack a day and go from there! Small steps will yield big results in the long run! (*While these are general tips, they may not be applicable for everyone! Before making dietary changes, it’s always best to consult with your medical provider to ensure you’re doing what’s best for yourself personally.*)

“The best views come after the hardest climbs”
.
.
Hiking is one of my FAVORITE ways to blend movement + mindfulness. Grounding yourself in nature is so healing and hiking specifically is such a parallel to life.
.
.
We are constantly facing uphill battles. Sometimes we feel as though we can’t keep going. Sometimes we have to stop and take a break. We need to push ourselves, motivate ourselves, fill our minds with positive self-talk and decrease the negativity. We need to BREATHE. And when we feel like we want to give up, we push ourselves to keep going and find beauty in the outcome.

Monday challenge: FOCUS ON YOU AND ONLY YOU! I know I post about this a lot but it’s so important to be reminded that the only person we need to be focusing on is ourselves. Social media, while so wonderful for so many reasons, really can be so damaging to our self-worth and self-image.
.
.
If you see a post that makes you feel badly about yourself or your accomplishments, then it’s time to take a social media break + focus on YOU. Self-reflection, therapy, meditation, health + fitness, journaling, and social media detoxes will not only improve your mood but help you realign with yourself.
.
.
There are always going to be people who appear to be more successful or more put together than you AND THAT IS OK. It doesn’t mean they’re better than you or that you’re not doing well as a result. Celebrate your wins, embrace who you are, support your friends and loved ones in their successes, and most importantly be kind to yourself and show yourself the love you so deserve.
