Lack of self-worth is a silent pandemic that we’ve all suffered from on some level. One of the biggest symptoms of this disease is the lack of self-care that follows suit from wrong believing. Excuse #4 for Lack of Self-Care: I don’t feel worthy When you don’t feel worthy, you wave your white flag…
There are times when our sense of purpose becomes so inextricably intertwined with the success of others, that we lose focus on our own path because of the overwhelming emphasis on someone else’s.

Yup, it is that time again! By now, you have probably heard someone say … “Oh, It’s Mercury retrograde”.

BLAME Man is this a tough one for some of us. It sure was for me. Blame was my go to. It was my only recourse many times. “It’s not my fault or don’t blame me” were common responses when I was in “trouble” both as a child and even as an adult. I found…
Have you ever considered your home has a personality? It’s a living energy and sometimes your space needs a little self-care. Consider all the different emotions that run through our homes each day! Over the years, I have cleared houses that had everything from a death in the home, an illness, hoarding, bankruptcy, divorce, life…
Happy Summertime!!! It’s been a hot one here in Arizona … 117 degrees the other day when my hubby and I had an adventure on the lake when a monsoon “haboob” hit us. Yes, that is a real word, look it up if it’s new to you … kind of a funny word😊 Anyway, we…

New Year, New You? How About A REVIVAL Instead? That time of year is almost here. In a few short weeks, the world will be joining a gym, starting a diet, and setting mind-boggling self-improvement goals. “This year I’m gonna lose 30 pounds and get in shape.” Or maybe something like, “This is the year…
Last month I opened the doors to my NEWEST LOVE, my membership site and 5 step process called ELEV8 Your Life. What a whirlwind the entire month of August was for my team and I. We had so many amazing experiences as people started watching the videos, learning about how to take their power back…
Be wary of what keeps you from putting yourself first! Your level of self-care is apparent in the way you carry yourself. From my experience, when you stop treating yourself, making time for yourself, or even liking yourself, you’ve fallen into a trap of self-neglect. But all is not lost! Once you identify the thought…
