1:1 Coaching Package

Whenever we go through hard times, it seems as though we’ll never get through them. Life’s challenges can be draining, depleting, exhausting and it can be so easy to feel like giving in and giving up. Remember that you have already survived 100% of your worst days. Life is hard, yes. But you’re strong. You got this. I don’t know who needed to read this today, but I hope it gives you the extra motivation you needed to keep pushing through.

Simple concept, right?! WRONG. Do we need to invest in rest? Yes. 💯. Is it easy to do? No. This weekend I was so wonderfully reminded of the importance of rest when my body decided it was tired of my current go, go, go lifestyle and forced me to stop by awarding me with a nasty cold. 🤧🤒😷
.
.
The last thing I wanted to do was rest this weekend since we finally saw ☀️+ warm weather.. and on a weekend no less! This nasty cold meant I had to miss out on a lot of pre-planned things, including a race I’ve been training for for months! Did I contemplate pushing myself anyways? Yup. Did I have a mini-meltdown about having to stay home all weekend to let my body heal? YUP. But it’s what I needed to do.
.
.
You can lead a balanced, healthy lifestyle and STILL find yourself in situations where your body and mind need you to S L O W down! This is especially difficult for those of us who are always on the go + lead busy lifestyles. I had to really reframe my frustration to look at the importance of resting, which was really hard to do! I knew if I pushed myself, I would prolong this cold which would ultimately negatively impact the week to come. Now that I’ve rested, I have a better chance of having a more productive week!

So this past weekend I attended the @createcultivate conference where the panels of speakers included @gabbybernstein, @marieforleo, @jaclynrjohnson, @ashleygraham, @marthastewart, @rebeccaminkoff to name a few. Did I enjoy listening to the speakers? Of course. BUT! What I loved most was being able to connect with so many other empowered women. This conference allowed me to connect with women from all over the country who are inspired, motivated, + working their assess off to create the lives they always dreamed of. There is something so powerful when women come together to support one another; the positive energy is just so infectious.

Remember gals:
•There is enough room for us ALL to grow.
•Community over competition, ALWAYS.
•Their success WON’T take away from yours.
•Your inner circle should be supportive + encouraging. They should lift you up and motivate you, NOT tear you down.
•CELEBRATE each others success + achievements.
•When women support women, INCREDIBLE things happen.

Boundaries, boundaries, boundaries!! Who else is saying “yes” to things they feel they “need to” or “have to” do?! 🙋🏻‍♀️ I often have to stop and check-in with myself around what I am committing my time and attention to, as I too have been victim of saying “YES!” to everything!
.
.
We often feel badly about saying “no,” or feel we need to explain ourselves when we do set a boundary and decline something. Life hack: It’s OK to say no! It’s OK to set boundaries! It’s OK to not explain your reasoning! .
.
If you’re feeling stressed or overwhelmed, take some time to look at your commitments. Are you doing the things you want to do? Or are you doing things you feel obligated to do? Then, adjust accordingly. This will feel uncomfortable at first, but the more we are able to set boundaries, the easier it becomes and the happier we begin to feel!

“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.
