This year was a big one for me. For the first time ever, I shifted out of survival mode and really LIVED. I slowed down, reconnected to the things that bring me joy, and felt peace in my nervous system that I haven’t felt in years. I committed fully to my business. I made more money than I ever have and supported myself comfortably solely through my business which is HUGE (!!). I worked with the most incredible clients. Hosted my first full-day women’s wellness retreat. Dove deeper into my inner work. Started a new life in a new city. Traveled to Madrid which was a dream of mine for years. Hired employees for the first time ever!!! Spent more time alone than ever reconnecting with myself. It was a really beautiful year. But still, as I sit here reflecting on it all, there’s a part of me that still feels like i didn’t do enough. A part of me that feels sad and confused and lost. I also just haven’t felt like myself in weeks. So I want you to know that it’s okay if you don’t feel really great during this time of year. If you don’t feel like you have it all together-whatever that means. If you’re grieving or feel anxious or depressed or lonely or confused. I think there’s a lot of pressure during this time of year to have things all figured out, to have accomplished everything we wanted to, or to be super happy. & I want you to know that it’s okay to give yourself permission to be where you’re at. To feel your feelings, whatever they are. 💗

& if you keep waiting for some perfect version of yourself to find self-love, you’ll be waiting forever. ✨ The true path to self-love isn’t about changing yourself or “finding yourself”- it’s about learning to love your most authentic self, just as you are.

It’s REALLY easy to feel disconnected from yourself during the holidays, whether it’s because this is a difficult time & your anxiety/depression/loneliness has taken over OR because you’re spending it with family & friends and things are super busy & chaotic. Either way, taking a few minutes out of your day today to tend to yourself is essential if you want to enjoy this season to the fullest. 💗 Here are some easy ways to tend to yourself this holiday season- 1) Take 5 minutes to close your eyes, put one hand over your heart & one hand over your belly, and take some deep breathes. My favorite soothing breathing pattern is inhaling for a count of 4 and exhaling for a count of 8 2) Move your body for 15 minutes- go for a walk (if it’s not too cold!!), do some deep stretches at home, or have a dance party in the living room ;)) 3) Drink a large cup of water and take your vitamins! 4) Go somewhere quiet and give yourself a hug to soothe your nervous system 🫶🏼 5) Take ten minutes to journal about what feelings are coming up for you during this time of year. Having a safe space to release our feelings and acknowledge them without trying to “fix” anything can be so healing. 6) Take a little break from family & friends by going to Starbucks and picking up your favorite holiday drink, sipping on it slowly and enjoying every moment of your alone time. These are just some of my favorites! Let me know how you’re tending to yourself today in the comments below 💗
