You know how in the beginning of a relationship, they'll be giving you the butler treatment? Holding doors, walking you home, having your favorite chocolates ready. Once things get more comfortable, are you still getting the white glove treatment, or does the mask slip? Was it real?

On the other hand, how would you know white glove treatment if you don't give yourself the queenly treatment you deserve?

Get comfy with your beverage of choice, because today is heavy. Today, grief is on my heart, and I've been through plenty of it. I lost my mother to breast cancer when I was 14 years old. I didn't know what grief was or how to handle it, and I had nobody around to help me.

Today, I want to help you. Grief isn't always about losing a loved one, but it is always a loss. A loss of a relationship, a loss of love, a loss of something you used to have. We all go through the 5 stages of grief in different ways and along with that, we lose a version of ourselves too.

Heal with me today. Honor the you that you used to be and honor the grieving process, however you need it to look.

That's right, I quit. But quitting isn't failure... sometimes quitting is freedom. Sometimes we need to quit that job, those relationships, that situation, that isn't serving us anymore.

When I quit, it's like a level up, or a graduation from something that was holding me back. If I hadn't quit, I wouldn't be where I am now. DM me on IG @patricestar with some of your "I quit" affirmations!

Is it really chemistry, or is it chaos disguised as a situationship starter pack? Love bombing is when someone comes in hot, throwing compliments, gifts, and romantic gestures. If it's too intense at the beginning, it's pretty obvious to see the red flags. The subtle kind gets trickier.

Don't confuse attention for connection.

Social media sells us a magical "soft life" full of relaxation, luxury, ease, boundaries, and the perfect husband. How many people are really living that life? How many are just putting on the mask of perfection, while really just avoiding real life? How can you build that life and sustain it?

Asking the real questions today. Always growing!

You know what I'm talking about. Do you keep finding yourself in the same kind of situationships with people that you thought had so much potential, but they never delivered? Do you find that you're pouring yourself into this person, just trying to help them be what you believe they can be, only to end up feeling depleted?

Those aren't partners - they're projects. Some people just don't have the capacity to give what you deserve in a relationship. You can't manifest a whole partner while entertaining half built people. Don't confuse someone's potential with compatibility!

It's been a minute, but I'm back! I've had to do some heavy healing with myself.

Healing is hard. It's heavy, and it doesn't always look cute. Social media would have you believe that healing is just bubble baths and chocolate. That can be part of it, but the real healing happens when you're uncomfortable. Lean into it and show up for it!

Sometimes we find ourselves in sticky situations with friends, relationships, clients or family. Do you always consider all viewpoints in a conflict, or do you sometimes react prematurely?

Everyone comes into every situation from their own vantage point. There may be emotions already brewing, prior history with the people involved, or even fears and biases that color each person's perspective.

It's worth it to take the time to reflect on your own reaction, emotions, and assumptions when you run into a conflict. Are you a co-conspirator? Might their point of view be just as correct as yours?
