• Love Bombs & Broken Promises
    Aug 26 2025

    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.

  • Soft Life Or Just Avoiding Real Life?
    Aug 5 2025

    Send us a text message to join the conversation or just send me a note!

    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!

  • Why Do We Keep Attracting Projects, Not Partners?
    Jul 22 2025

    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!

  • Healing Ain’t Pretty - But You Still Gotta Show Up
    Jul 15 2025

    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!

  • Different Vantage Points
    Feb 18 2025

    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?

  • Arguing With the GPS
    Jan 21 2025

    Send us a text message to join the conversation or just send me a note!

    When you set a goal or intention, following the path there is like following GPS. Sometimes you think you know better, but sometimes a detour comes along you didn't expect. The thing is, life's GPS doesn't care where you've been. It cares where you are, and where you're going.

    I've been expanding my salon and let me tell you, it's been a lot. I don't always follow the path my life GPS is leading me, and sometimes I wish I had because I can't alway see the obstacles that are coming. Tune in for an inspiring discussion on goal setting, handling setbacks, and persistently moving forward.
