Purple is my color, so I couldn’t help but use t

Purple is my color, so I couldn’t help but use this cocktail to toast a few individuals, whose businesses offer so much value in the sea of social media, personal development, and health and wellness. ⁣ ⁣ It’s easy to get distracted by the fires of life, so remember to look outside of yourself. It may make someone’s day and it will light you up inside.⁣ ⁣ Thank you @jasminestar for your help with social media, your lives/podcast, and #socialcurator (an amazing membership site).⁣ ⁣ Thank you @jennyschatzle for creating and spearheading #changetheconversation and all that you and @bondfitnesssb do for the Santa Barbara community.⁣ ⁣ Last but not least, thank you @amyporterfield, I am learning so much about creating a digital course and list building. Love your podcast and energy, pure gold!⁣ ⁣ Cheers 🥂 someone you appreciate!⁣

Do you know who lies A LOT? No, not that guy! We

Do you know who lies A LOT? No, not that guy! We’re all capable of the little white lie and usually no harm, no foul. ⁣ ⁣ When a lie slips from our mouths, we know it’s so and hope the other is none the wiser. However, our minds can tell us lies about our worth, our value, our success, our failures....and we become the one who is none the wiser.⁣ ⁣ Don’t believe everything you tell yourself. I’m too tired, I’m just not good at _______, I can’t do it, etc., only you decide....

Bad news sells! Like a “train wreck” you find

Bad news sells! Like a “train wreck” you find yourself drawn to look at, we have an appetite for drama and disaster. ⁣ ⁣ Be a critical consumer of what is shaping your reality and remember to fill your cup with inspiration and things that light you up!⁣

Hello, my fellow career driven and now homeschooli

Hello, my fellow career driven and now homeschooling mothers! I’m so happy you found my page, where inspiration is a given and so is my passion for empowering you to take charge of your well-being and mindset. ⁣ ⁣ Whether it’s trying to break an unhealthy habit, reduce anxiety, be more patient, or reach a goal that keeps slipping away, I’ve got it covered!⁣ ⁣ As a psychologist in private practice, I hear up close and personal what people are struggling with and though many of the concerns are different, there are mindset traps that get in everyone’s way. If this piece isn’t addressed, one problem may be “solved” only to have it replaced by another. ⁣ ⁣ Through inspiration, grace, knowledge, and a bit of humor, I’ve curated my feed with you in mind. ⁣ ⁣ I will give you tools that you can implement on a daily basis to begin developing a mindset that allows you to be more resilient, positive, and keeps you connected to your goals and values. ⁣ ⁣ Make yourself at home and let me know what you’d like to hear more about.⁣

I wrecked my car last week and, as most accidents

I wrecked my car last week and, as most accidents go, it could have been completely avoided 😬.⁣ ⁣ As not funny as it was, it is kind of funny, because now I’m in a rental car that says “famous potatoes” on the license plate.⁣ ⁣ On that fateful day, directly before the point of impact, I had been ruminating about the fact that my nanny for my 2 1/2-year-old had given a “couple days notice” and that as a working parent, I had just picked up the independent homeschool study materials for my eight-year-old. ⁣ ⁣ Interestingly, a process called moral licensing crept in and began whispering to me about the happy hour I deserved, given that I’d had such a “bad” day. ⁣ ⁣ Take note because I guarantee that everyone of us has fallen into this trap. Essentially, its a mental manipulation that gives us permission to deviate from our goals and values given our “goodness or badness”.⁣ ⁣ Read more about it on my website blog located in the link in my bio!

Do you like butterflies....If you’re struggling,

Do you like butterflies....If you’re struggling, this post is for you, but you need to like metaphors! I think they’re helpful for the objectivity, space, and perspective they can provide.⁣ ⁣ Remember that the struggle of the butterfly within the cocoon, as it beats its wings to free itself, is necessary for its survival and beauty to emerge.⁣ ⁣ Be a butterfly...⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣
