Changing My Paradigm On What Makes A Good Mom
Very early on in motherhood, my ex-husband and I decided to get a divorce. Along with grieving the loss of my marriage, I was also grieving the loss of my own Mother. Needless to say, this was the point in my life that I was struggling emotionally, the most. I had made some poor choices in…
Advice: A Love/Hate Thing
When I was a teenager, better yet, since adolescence, trusting my own judgement was not a thing. I lacked confidence in my decision making. This followed me into young adulthood.

Why I Hired A Coach
You know what I am good at? Excuses. You know what I can’t afford to have anymore? Excuses. Okay being a working and full time mama is a great enough excuse to take it easy and I recommend all new mamas give themselves some grace. However, I gave myself more than enough grace to not…
Taking Back My Power
“See when you try to change others you give your power away. You will know you’re giving your power away because you will feel feelings of hopelessness, confusion, frustration, anger, negative stuff like that.” I came across this article while searching the web on relationships, changing people, so on so forth.
