Even as someone who’s been living intentionally and practicing this lifestyle for almost four years now, I still find it challenging to fit it into my day-to-day.

We’ve talked time and time again, both on the blog and the podcast, about following your gut, trusting in Divine Timing, all of the wonderful things that can lead us to wonderful decisions.

But, have you heard of the 6th stage of Grief? Finding meaning, the 6th stage of grief coined by David Kessler, is not something everyone will […]

Write | Inspire | Dream Having compassion is something I don’t think many people struggle with. Having self-compassion is something I think everyone struggles with. Most people I’ve met in my life have a great capacity for having compassion and empathy for others. They can—on as deep a level they can reach—have compassion and understanding […]

Write | Inspire | Dream Even those who live intentionally and with great purpose for each day will reach a moment when they need to press the metaphorical reset button.

When we’re feeling stressed out, feeling a sense of failure, or lacking motivation, the emotional side (or […]

Write | Inspire | Dream Through so much of my content, I’ve taught you that setting small, achievable goals is what will guide you to reaching that one BIG goal.
