When you take drastic measures, you get drastic results. It’s time to stop letting old beliefs, habits and opinions (aka dead weight) keep you from living your fullest, lushest life.

The real reason you aren't where you want to be... 🤯 Thinking about doing the thing isn’t the same as actually doing the thing. The enemy of implementation is contemplation.

Rubber plant - 0. Milo - 1. 🤦‍♀️ I was a plant mom long before a dog mom. Milo is Patrick’s dog that I’ve adopted. However, he’s specifically “Patrick’s dog” when he’s bad. You get it, right?! 

Do you have a KitchenAid stand mixer? I got a new one for Christmas, and it comes with several attachments. I’ve seen them before but never know which one to use when.  When you have new tools you aren't sure how to use, do you choose option A, B, or C?

I love to read. From the time I was little, I could be found with a book in my hand. Then why was it a problem when I set out to read 100 books in 1 year?

The most important conversation you'll have all day is the one happening inside your own head. It's the key to making your vision stick. You have to believe in what's possible for you before you ever see the results.

While you don’t see a plant’s growth on the outside during winter, it's happening inside and underground as the roots grow deeper. Like a plant, winter is necessary for your growth.

Have you ever gone somewhere you’ve never been before? It's easy to assume you know the way.

Where do you feel uncomfortable? Are you experiencing good discomfort or bad discomfort? Keep reading to learn the difference and how to move forward regardless.

Would you say you’re an optimistic person when it comes to your future? If you’re reading this blog, there’s a good chance you’re nodding your head “yes” right now. Let me phrase it a different way and see if you feel the same.

Letting go, practicing non-attachment, is never easy. It’s natural for us to be fearful of the outcome. Society, our parents, our personal history all teach us to be scared, rather than child-like in our pursuits, exploring with wonder and curiosity.

If you’re a child of the 80s then it’s highly likely you spent your childhood rolling around on four wheels. One day we’re 5 and gliding across the rink. The next, we’re 38 and can barely get the courage to lace up a pair of skates. Life happens, friend. 💛

We humans live in a world of quick fixes and instant gratification. Long gone are the days of waiting patiently for people to return the VHS tape to Blockbuster. Cue Netflix. Amazon Prime. Instacart. Research shows that sustainable change takes time. This often leaves us feeling confused when we want to get better or feel better right now.

This started out as a “38 Things I’d Tell My Younger Self” blog. Then I remembered a recent conversation I had with my friend Jaime. You can’t go back to the old you. No matter how much you want it, she doesn’t exist anymore.

In 2018, I stood atop these cliffs petrified with fear. The same cliffs I’d fearlessly jumped throughout my childhood and just a year before. How had so much changed? Who was this girl so afraid of what comes next? Sweet friends, let me remind you, cliffs were made for jumping.

The lie I’ve been telling myself is that enjoying what I have isn’t “productive” and there’s always more I can be doing. How does one overcome this concept of not enough and always striving for more?
