As we come to the end of the month, may it be a time of reflection, gratitude, and anticipation for the opportunities that lie ahead.

When I look back on my energy level in my 30’s compared to my 40’s and early 50's, it was night and day.

I felt emotionally drained, stressed, and disconnected. Others saw success, but inside, stress levels soared, and I felt pressured to keep up appearances.

But on the inside...
→ My daily stress levels were through the roof.
→ It got to the point where NOTHING I did or achieved seemed to bring a sense of lasting fulfillment or peace into your life.​

Sound familiar?
👇🏼
The long-term SOLUTION for me: Set realistic goals, prioritize self-care, and connect with supportive people.

How about you?

🌱 Growth 🌱

Personal growth often comes from unexpected places. Think about a moment when you experienced significant growth.

What triggered it, and how has it shaped the person you are today?

🛑When you stop letting yourself and your happiness be dependent on labels, achievements, and external expectations, you RECONNECT with your own vitality—what lights you up and makes you feel alive—and you naturally infuse that back into every aspect of your work and home life.

When I look back on my energy level in my 30’s compared to my 40’s and early 50's, it was night and day.

As my career continued to blossom, I felt emotionally , , and .

Others were inspired by my success and achievements.

They thought 💭 I had it all together.

But on the inside...

→ My daily stress levels were through the roof.

→ I felt disconnected from what was meaningful to me - although I couldn't put my finger on WHY.

→ Overthinking, guilt, personal expectations, and the like .

→ I felt to keep up my image and it had become exhausting and unbearable.

→ I felt that if I didn't exceed expectations and excell in my work, others would see me as incompetent or "not a team player".

→ Even when I had reached great heights, it somehow never felt good enough. The constant pressure to was overwhelming.

→ It got to the point where NOTHING I did or achieved seemed to bring a sense of lasting fulfillment or peace into your life.​

IT FELT CONFINING.

I started - doing the bare minimum.

I limited my social life and outside activities.

🤔 Where did my energy go?

It had been captured by my "performance-based" mindset.

In my mid-50's, I waa at my wits end.

It was a turning point for me.

I sought CHANGE.

It wasn't easy or quick, but in time, I was able to

In my mid-50's, I made a commitment to face my discomfort, reignite my connection with myself and others.

Life started to feel much more meaningful, and I was able to show up for the people in my life without draining myself or feeling taken for granted.

I stopped seeking my worth in achievements or approval from others.

Time and time again, I've had high hopes, made BIG plans, and done tons of prep, but when it was time to go, things fell flat.

And there I stood.

Stranded.
Feeling lost.
My battery was dead.

What I've learned over the years is that all the EFFORT in the world cannot make "things work out".

In the grand scheme of things, success or failure does not revolve around *works* alone.

If not, then where does our strength come from?

If you had a checklist that could help you thrive every day, how would you incorporate it into your daily routine?

I wanted to take a moment to acknowledge that for many of us, this time of year can be difficult when we're dealing with GRIEF. Whether it's the loss of a loved one, a change in our circumstances, or simply the stress of the season, it can be a challenging time.

During times of grief, it's natural to seek comfort and support.

As a source of solace, I find strength in God's word, which reminds us of His love and promises.

Throughout my life, I have faced a range of GRIEF that many others can relate to. I navigated the challenges of an unstable relationship, walked through the pain of divorce, and faced the heart-wrenching news that my son had committed a crime and would be incarcerated for an extended period of time.

In addition to these personal trials, I also experienced the loss of my dad and the untimely deaths of two siblings in their 50s.

These moments tested my strength and resilience in ways I never imagined.

Amidst the storms of GRIEF, I found solace in God's words, prayer, and quiet time🙏🏼.

His offer of comfort and reassurance became my anchor, reminding me that He is my refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

Even in the darkest times, God's love and grace sustain us and guide us through every season of sorrow.

I want to let you know that you are not alone in your feelings, and that it's okay to take time for yourself to process your emotions. It's important to remember that GRIEF is a personal journey, and there is no right or wrong way to feel or cope.

I hope that during this season, you find moments of peace and comfort, and that you feel SURROUNDED by the love and support of those around you.

🦋If you're struggling with grief, please reach out. I have resources available to help you through this difficult time.🦋

Navigating Life's Cold Fronts

As we journey through life's unpredictable seasons, there are moments when the "temperature" of our existence takes a sudden plunge.

Much like a cold front sweeping through, these shifts can profoundly impact our motivation, happiness, health, and relationships with those around us.

Imagine walking your dog🐕‍🦺 on a frosty morning like today~ 28 degrees. The air is crisp and biting. (Fortunately, Teddy does his duty rather quickly on these chilly mornings.)

Similarly, when our inner world experiences a drop in motivation, everything can feel a bit colder, heavier, maybe some bitterness creeping in, too.

Tasks that once seemed easy now require extra effort.

Goals dim in the face of adversity.

Each step forward feels like a battle against the icy winds of doubt and uncertainty.

The chill of disappointment or setback can seep into our hearts, casting shadows of doubt and insecurity.

We may question our abilities, our decisions, and even our worth.

🥰Despite the frigid challenges we face,
THERE
IS
HOPE.

Just as winter gives way to the warmth of spring, our inner resilience can guide us through even the coldest of times.

🌡️Wrap Yourself in Resilience: Like a cozy blanket on a chilly night, resilience shields us from the harshness of life's storms. Cultivate resilience through self-care, mindfulness, and seeking support from trusted friends.

🌡️Illuminate with Inner Strength: In the darkest of moments, let your inner strength be the guiding light. Pray. Draw upon past successes and moments of courage to fuel your resilience and determination.

🌡️Embrace the Growth: Every challenge, no matter how cold, offers an opportunity for growth. Embrace the lessons learned, the strengths discovered, and the wisdom gained as you navigate through the frost.

🌡️Kindle the Flames of Hope: Just as a fireplace warms a cold room, nurture hope within your heart. Believe in brighter days ahead, where warmth, joy, and fulfillment await.

🌡️Forge Connections: Reach out to those who care, share your struggles, and lean on the support of your community. Together, we can weather any storm that comes our way.

In the midst of life's dropping temperatures, remember that beneath the frost lies the resilience of a warrior, the warmth of a compassionate heart, and the courage to face the unknown.

Stay strong, stay hopeful, and know that brighter days are on the horizon.

This membership offers a supportive space where peeps can learn mindfulness practices, set intentions and strategies to manage stress, cultivate resilience, and embrace inner peace.

When in stress, your body uses up energy and slows downs processes related to healing and restoration.

Cultivating a 𝙧𝙚𝙡𝙖𝙭𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 routine is one of the Essentials for Peace and Balance: Personal and Professional

Ever feel like you don't have time to cultivate a 𝙧𝙚𝙡𝙖𝙭𝙞𝙣𝙜 stress management routine?

Before you answer that, ask yourself a few questions.
1. Is a bit of 𝙧𝙚𝙡𝙖𝙭𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 and rejuvenation more important than some other items on my to-do list?
2.Is there time that I'm spending, during the day, that is mindless or unproductive?
3. How long would it take to do one additional activity that promotes 𝙧𝙚𝙡𝙖𝙭𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣?
4. Can I set a goal for ½ that time just to get myself started?
5. What support do I need to prioritize this routine- to make it happen?

Raise 🙋‍♀️ your hand or type #𝙧𝙚𝙡𝙖𝙭𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 in the comments and I'll share a few tips on how to get started and keep it going.

Have you ever filled out a personality profile? What did you learn about yourself?

Because self-awareness is a necessary part of spiritual and emotional growth, "personality" profiles can be a tool to help us see what lies behind our strengths and weaknesses.

In the first module (week 1) of my self-image expansion course walks you through a diagnostic tool to help you take a self-inventory to explore your WHY.

In week 2, we delve into the Elements Of Being (mind, body, belonging, circumstance).

One of the first things I explored about myself when I first took a deep dive into what makes me tick, was to distance myself.

So I set a few goals...

At work, I wanted to be less sensitive and emotional, focusing instead on the effectiveness of my work.

I wanted to be more rational and focus on solutions that were productive and help solve the problem of being understaffed rather that feeling "used" and "taken advantage of".

I set our to put more emphasis on "advocacy" and "distance".

To "step aside" and not stew in guilt and self-pity.

To be kind to myself.
