Breathing Room
I’ve lost count of how many anxiety attacks and meltdowns I’ve had. Sadly, I haven’t discovered the secret to protecting my confidence.
The best medicine thus far has been to give myself breathing room and the freedom to make mistakes. I’m still putting one foot in front of the other.

Self doubt

The World Needs The Quiet

The world needs the quiet.
Courage
Too often, we’re trapped into believing that true courage is only shaped like a superhero sweeping in to save the day. But that’s just not true.
In reality, every little step we take to make a better future and life for ourselves and our loved ones takes tremendous courage. Disentangling our minds from the out-of-this-world courage and focusing on our every day courage is a powerful way of accepting (and respecting) ourselves.
Freedom
Give yourself the freedom to be a beginner, screw up and make mistakes, stand up for what you believe in, believe you have the power to make a difference…
(Un)limited Growth
I always hate it when people follow up with a slew of excuses and self-deprecating comments when they declare something the “can’t” do.
Perhaps I hate it more only because I was that kind of person for a long time. Learned helplessness was my drug against unhappiness. But time eventually showed me that living a life full of bitterness and self pity would never help me grow and thrive in the ways I always dreamed.
Rumination
I’ve always hang onto thoughts (good or bad) for far long than necessary. Some thoughts raise me up while others drown out all reason.
Managing my self-talk is a constant battle–one that I know I don’t necessarily have to fight alone…unless I choose to.
The heart in what you do

“Unearth the heart in what you do.”
Dead Weight Beauty
There are days when you feel like everything is wonderful. There are also days when you feel like just getting out of bed is a tremendous feat.
But even in the worst of times, there’s some hope for that one little thing that might make you smile. Hold onto that. And don’t worry, you’ll get through this
Getting Lost...
Sometimes getting a little lost is the best way to find your true self. Answers and new discoveries happen all the time when you lean into uncertainty.
Dream Crushers
I bet we all have at least one in our life. Falling under their suffocating negativity can make or break you…if you let it.
Broken Fire
You’re always trying to desperately fuel the flames of your passion but it’s not easy, right? You may feel right on target or off course.
Only time will tell whether or not you should stay on your path or change course. A true test of your passion and ambitions, don’t you think?
Mental Lockdown
Inspired by my constant struggle to calm my insecurity and anxiety. Reclaiming my better self is an uphill climb that gets steeper with time.
Idea Trap
The idea trap comes in all shapes and sizes. Most commonly as, “I’ll wait until I know more” or “I’ll start when I’m ready.”
Uncertainty Bubbles
Uncertainty really gets a bad rap more often than it deserves. How we choose to apply ourselves in the face of uncertain makes all the difference.
Beyond Rejection
Fake. Poser. Wannabe. Fraud. I bet these are just some of the words you’re afraid everyone around you is secretly labeling you.
Words you may even mutter to yourself, leaving you feeling weak, vulnerable, and paralyzed. But you don’t have to feel this way.
Anxiety Infection
It’s what I seem to have everyday. How about you? I guess it’s comforting to know I’m not the only one and that I’m not fighting alone.
Treasure
Great treasures are never found in a rush. Even so, whatever your ambitions are, you’d like to have it all. Now. And who doesn’t?
