This truth terrifies and inspires me. I'm living beneath my potential to connect, love, heal, and inspire women who deserve my help. Because I'm scared. Because each day is dominated by thoughts that I'm not good enough, that no one wants my help, that I'm not a powerful force in the universe.
But I am. And as I work to change my own thoughts, beliefs, and views of the world, I empower myself to empower other women.
The inner work is so deep and so painful and full of so much shame. It can be easy to forget how much joy and sunshine are waiting on the other side of it.
Life is full of amazing possibilities. I struggle to keep believing that when all I can see are the ways "I am not measuring up."
But I've seen my life change in miraculous ways.
I'm not lying in bed with chronic illness and fatigue like I was 3 years ago! That's a miracle that I created for me!
If I transformed my overwhelming physical challenges, can I transform the disease that fills my mind? Can I replace unhealthy thoughts with beliefs that light me up? That give me energy instead of draining it?
Here's to us all loving ourselves a little less conditionally and handling ourselves a bit softer ❤️🩹 and then using that love to help others.

I'm learning this lesson the hard way. Survival energy kills creativity. Perhaps that's why creativity can feel like such a bold, rebellious act. It's like a slap in the face to survival saying, "Look at me! I'm more than just a body that's trying to survive. I'm spirit. I'm human. I have a soul. I create and so I am." #healwithruth #creativity #creativegoddess #creativityftw #survivalmode #iam
1. Notice it without judgement -awareness is the first step toward making a change. 2. Get curious about the cause -noticing without judgement allows you to get curious about why your perfectionism is flaring up and where it came from to begin with 3. Ask: What is my perfectionism trying to protect me from? 4. Take some deep breaths and remind your brain that it's safe to be human (and humans aren't perfect) BONUS STEP (my personal favorite) Intentionally choose to act imperfectly! In the past, when I tried to beat perfectionism, I'd notice myself sliding into this cycle of loosening my grip on perfectionism, congratulating myself on the progress, and then freaking out when I wasn't perfect at being not perfect. I became a perfectionist about not being a perfectionist! Finally, I discovered the key to breaking the deeply ingrained cycle of perfectionism is to * intentionally* choose to act *imperfectly.* This conscious decision opens me up to just being me. It takes off so much pressure and is actually really fun. So next time you're feeling scared of doing the wrong thing or making a mistake, give yourself permission to do the wrong thing and make the mistake! Then intentionally act imperfectly. Life feels so much better as a dedicated imperfectionist. I hope you'll join me here :) #healwithruth #perfectionism #imperfect #makemistakes #humamnotperfect #creativegoddess

Inspired by too many nights of insomnia at the hands of panic. I've learned that allowing the panic to run its course brings a relief I can't find by trying to pretend it doesn't exist. There's something transformational about just allowing the feelings that are asking to be felt. Are you a mama experiencing insomnia? It can be sooo frustrating and discouraging. Have you been able to get to the root cause? What do you do when you feel panic threatening an attack? #healwithruth #healingmom #panicattack #insomnia #feelyourfeelings #poetryshare
I'm talking to you, Mama. 💕 There is no destination outside of yourself. 🪷 The destination is you. 🪷 #healwithruth #takeitslow #slowdown #healingmom #findingmom #findingme
I spent years under the weight of all the things I thought were required to be a "good mom." I thought stepping out of the box of expectations I'd been given would lead me straight to hell. Sounds dramatic, but it's true! I was so scared of letting go of the mom I was 'supposed' to be and stepping into the new vision of what I actually wanted. It took courage. It took standing up for myself. It took some deep looks into who I even am! It has led to some radical changes--changes that feel radical to me. And my family has never been happier. Because at the end of the day, what they really want from me is .... me. If you're ready to reimagine how motherhood can look for you, comment MAMA and I'll DM you the link to The Creative Goddess Experience 🪷 What 'good mom' expectations would you add to this list? #healwithruth #momlife #expectationsformothers #mamatrauma #healmom #findingmom #findingme #creativegoddess #beyou
Gosh, it hurts to be in this place. I have spent so much time here. 1️⃣ The extreme inability to be the mom you want to be. ➡️Top this with shame, guilt, and self-judgement because part of you knows the crazy person you're experiencing is not who you really are. You know you have gifts to contribute if you could only access them. But you're stuck in a spiral you can't seem to escape. 2️⃣ Intense anxiety over the little things ➡️ read: being alone with your children, a kitchen full of dirty dishes, piles of laundry, a sick child, all these things have the power to spiral you into fight, flight, freeze, or another panic attack. ➡️ Plus that guilt and shame creeping up again when the job you're supposed to be good at and the people you're supposed to love the most are your greatest triggers and create the most anxiety 3️⃣ Outbursts that seem unpredictable and overreactive ➡️ Because that inner landscape is CrAzY and the smallest thing can set everything off ➡️ Welcome increased anxiety around the things that trigger these outbursts because nobody likes them--especially mom! ➡️These outbursts are sooo scary and painful for mom. They feel so out of control. Which leads to... 4️⃣ Increased need to control + decreased ability to relax, be present, have fun, and find joy in the little things How can we start spiraling out of this spiral? 1st - acknowledge something is off. There's a reason you are feeling crazy. You don't need to understand the reason in order to start validating that your experience is real and you deserve love, compassion, and healing 2nd - allow help into your life. Start delegating some of those things that cause you the most stress. Let go of the belief and conditioning that you have to be able to do it on your own 3rd - know you're not the only one going through something like this. It doesn't make you a bad person or make you any less valuable. Also, this isn't forever! You can find your way
Energetic boundaries moment! As soon as I discovered the concept of boundaries, I became obsessed 🤪 But talking about boundaries, learning about boundaries, acknowledging the need for boundaries, and KNOWING HOW TO HAVE BOUNDARIES are very different things. Knowing how to live with healthy boundaries can be so difficult to figure out, even when you believe how important they are with your whole heart. Thinking about things energetically helps me get to the root of why something feels off and what's the most significant thing I can do to get things back on track. For many of us, letting our life force reside outside of us and allowing other people to sorta toss it around is a learned defence mechanism. In other words, our dear amygdala is trying to keep us safe. Thanks, amygdala!! But also, no thanks. It's safe to reside in our own bodies. In fact, it's actually the safest place we can be. But it can take time to retrain years of programming that tells us that it's not. Try this simple exercise and visual to start calling back your life force today. Stand in the power of who you are. You got this. Don't be afraid to own your own power. You. Got. This. #healwithruth #boundaries #healthyboundaries #energeticboundaries #personalpower #powermama #mamaheals #iamme #momhack #creativegoddess
I've been working hard, making significant changes, and experiencing some beautiful transformations over here. Many of them might not look like much from the outside, but on the inside I KNOW how hard I've been trying, how committed I've been, and how significant those small adjustments feel for me. And let me tell you, I am proud of this woman!!! And when I turn around and tell her to her face, it feels sooo good. Tell me, what are you proud of yourself for today? ~~~~~~~ If you're ready to dive deep into healing your past and stepping into your creative power, comment POWER below and I'll send you the link to my signature program The Creative Goddess Experience 🔥🪷💕 #healwithruth #power #iam #innerchildhealing #proudmama #transformation #healingmom #selftalk #selflove
Have you ever bristled under the command (or gentle suggestion) to be grateful? Recently I've been going all in on my manifesting work and guess what? Gratitude is a core part of the process! I'd wake up trying to feel gratitude in my body and end up adding guilt to all the anxiety and stress I found there instead. I'd try to step into that gratitude throughout the day, but found myself running into walls of frustration, guilt, and ....shame. I kept hearing this advice to spend more time in gratitude. My brain said, "Of course, this makes sense, let's do it!" My body said, "Uh, no. This feels icky." Want to know why? ----> How often has the counsel for gratitude been mixed with the subtle dismissal of our very real feelings? 👉 I don't like this meal ➡️ Your mom worked so hard to make this for you! Don't you know there are starving children in Africa? Be grateful and eat your dinner! 👉I'm having a really hard time right now with [x] ➡️ At least your life isn't as hard as so-and-so's. You really should be grateful. 👉I'm feeling overwhelmed with my kids ➡️ At least you have children! Think of all the people struggling with infertility who would be so grateful for what you have! 👀 See the dismissal? And the saddest part is when we start repeating these messages to ourselves! I stopped trying to force myself into gratitude and started to acknowledge and allow whatever my body was feeling in that moment. And, ya know what? When I let myself feel -- without judgement or shame -- those feelings pass through me, in the aftermath, I'm left with the very natural, un-forced feeling of .... GRATITUDE ❤️ #healwithruth #gratitude #Thanksgiving #givethanks #permissiontofeel #feelings
