Responsibility Follows Awareness. You can’t be responsible for what you’re unaware of. But once you are aware, you are responsible for what you do with that awareness. How to Navigate Unwanted Truths? There’s a powerful truth about awareness: once we’ve seen something, we cannot unsee it. We can’t unknow information we wish we didn’t have. It might be something painful, inconvenient, or even something that challenges our current way of life, but once it’s part of our consciou

Loving your shadow as act of self-acceptance We all have parts of ourselves we'd rather hide, the shadows we don't want others to see. But the truth is, these shadow parts are a natural part of who we are. We all have them, and it's essential to acknowledge, understand, and even love them instead of repressing them. Why? Because true healing and personal growth can only happen when we embrace all aspects of ourselves, including the ones that feel uncomfortable or undesirable.

Last weekend, I had the incredible honor of officiating the wedding of my dear friends, a role I’ve never been asked to fulfill before, which made the experience all the more special. As I prepared for this moment, I wanted to set a meaningful intention for the space, and the word that came to mind was vulnerability . Vulnerability has been a central theme in my own journey, learning to open up, to let myself be truly seen by others. It’s a process, and not an easy one. For s

Unlocking Your Inner Magic: The Power of Transforming Thoughts In your daily life, it’s important to remember that you hold the power to create and transform - this is your magic. Magic is creation. Harness this magic by starting with your thoughts, because each thought carries a unique energy that can shape your experiences. Becoming Aware of Your Thoughts To begin this process, bring awareness to your thoughts. Start with a single thought and ask yourself these key question

For years, I struggled with the feeling that my voice was somehow blocked. I could sense it physically, like a knot in my throat, keeping me from fully expressing myself.

Use the time you have here to be bold, curious, and playful. Try new things, and don’t take everything too seriously. Stop taking things personally, and let mistakes be a part of your life. Don’t fear them - they are crucial for growth. And perhaps most importantly, don’t hold onto the past. There’s an old saying: "The past is a guide, not a port." Your experiences are meant to inform your future decisions, not serve as a refuge from which you watch life pass by. Don’t get st

The Power of Speaking Your Truth: Opening Your Throat Chakra Birthdays often prompt reflection, allowing us to evaluate our lives and set new intentions for the future. This year, on my birthday last Sunday, August 4th, my intention is to speak my truth. This realization has emerged from a year filled with significant lessons and the reconnection of various themes I've encountered throughout my life, not just the past year. Reflecting on my life, I realize I haven't fully all

I believe love is a gift. So if that's true, if love is a gift, it doesn’t make sense to try to earn it. Instead, love should be received freely and unconditionally. When we view love as a gift, we realize that all we need to do is give ourselves permission to receive it. There are no conditions or expectations, no "you did this for me, so I’ll do that for you." It’s simply a gift. This realization opens us up to truly receiving love without any strings attached. Giving love

Finding your own meaning and purpose in life is a deeply personal journey

We often take things too personally, believing everything revolves around us. The truth is, most of the time, it isn’t about us. People’s reactions, behaviors, and words are often a reflection of their own experiences and struggles. It's their journey, their pain, their story. So, while it's not about us, it’s also all about us. It’s about how we choose to interpret, react, and internalize these interactions. Recognizing this duality can free us from unnecessary stress and al

I've recently returned to swimming, and it feels incredible. I've always loved the water and the sensation of gliding through it. Today, as I was swimming my lengths, I decided to experiment a bit with my mindset. Instead of focusing on performance, I set the intention to simply enjoy the experience. This shift in mindset removed the pressure, and as I surrendered to the ease of the moment, my form improved. Surprisingly, it felt less exhausting. I realized that I was swimmin

As a therapeutic coach, I've noticed that many of my female clients particularly struggle with setting boundaries - it's hard for women to set boundaries. Women often have a natural instinct to nurture and care for others, which can make finding a balance between giving and protecting one's own space challenging. However, it's crucial to understand that setting boundaries is not harsh or unkind; it is an act of self-love and respect. Boundaries help prevent burnout and overwh

At its core, it's the inherent value and worth that every person has. It involves self-respect, honor, and recognizing one's own value. Simply put, dignity means being worthy of respect, not just from others, but also from yourself. While dignity is an abstract idea, it shows up in our actions, attitudes, and how we interact with others. Living with dignity means maintaining your self-worth, no matter the circumstances or how others treat you. What Happens if You Don't Have D

Knowing yourself better aids in identifying your personal boundaries. Reflecting on my younger years, I realize my boundaries were quite vague. However, as I've become older and accumulated experiences, I've sharpened my understanding of what I find acceptable and what contradicts my core values. This clarity is essential for personal and professional growth. Identifying Your Boundaries The first step in understanding your limits is to identify your boundaries. Here are some

Unveiling and Overcoming My Inner Fears

It's a profound realization, one that often arrives after much reflection and experience: I have allowed people to influence my...

A client asked me: "How do I let the emotions go? They just stick there." Dealing with emotions is rarely straightforward; they can be sticky and hard to let go. Sometimes, we might think we want to release these emotions, but deep down, we might be reluctant because letting go can create a sense of emptiness. Initially, the most crucial step is to become aware when something feels off. Often, we don't notice our internal state until it's overwhelmed us. The first step, there

This was the pivotal question my client pondered, recognizing a pattern of consistently accepting less than she deserved in various aspects of her life. With newfound clarity, she boldly stated, "Now I am going after what I want." This revelation not only marked a significant turning point for her but also served as a profound source of inspiration for my own journey. Reflecting on her words, I found myself confronting a similar inquiry. "Why did I settle for less?" This ques

Theodore Roosevelt once said, "Comparison is the thief of joy," and this idea is incredibly relevant today. With so many opportunities to see into the lives of others through social media and other channels, it's easy to fall into the trap of comparing ourselves to others. This often leads to feeling less happy and feeling like we're not good enough. Comparing ourselves to others is a natural human tendency, but when it becomes a constant habit, it can have detrimental effect
