What if I told you your lowest experience would someday inspire someone to share their own? Would you be brave enough to share it? In a world where vulnerability is sometimes confused with oversharing, our stories and experiences illuminate humanity in all of us, no matter how big or small. Where isolation and loneliness have become epidemic, the burden of
…letting go and being open to change is one of the most common parts of life people struggle with.
When mental health becomes the spotlight, so do the tools and strategies we use for support. I like to compassionately question them asking – are they still enough? Practices, rituals and the like all serve their purpose and some deserve to become a part of your day, rather then a go-to when in need. We also need more than a
With all the rave the Olympics bring, while I haven’t been glued to my TV like the rest of the world, my ears have perked up recently. When gymnasts like Simone Biles are making waves with the decision to withdraw from her final routine for her wellbeing, you pay attention. We can’t forget Olympian, Naomi Osaka who withdrew from The
Have you ever said yes to something when you really should have said no? Maybe it was a project or an opportunity that seemed really great at the onset, and as time went on, something shifted. Time will do that to you. And your self-worth will perk up if it’s been comprimised. Especially if you rushed your yes when you
If leadership had a story to tell, what would it be? Is it, to be a great leader, follow the lead of those who’ve come before you demonstrating what success looks like and you’ll be successful? Or would it be to be a leader, you need to work yourself into the ground to build a successful business? There are plenty
There’s been a collection of buzz words we heard a lot since the pandemic, resilience being one of them. As it relates to corporate, much of the focus has been on organizational resiliency, even when we speak of leadership resiliency. Driving an organization to success in uncertain times while the future continues to be unknown is important, yet, the kind
This time of year, holiday parties are in full swing and many of us are getting ready to set goals for the year ahead. It’s one of my favourite things to do during the holidays. Not to be confused with creating new year’s resolutions. 😉 Whether you plan on doing this for yourself or at work with your team, research
Lately, it seems as though many of my conversations have been about life events occurring in people’s lives that have them being forced to react instead of responding. Anything from relationships being challenged, to jobs dangling by a thread or leaving a toxic workplace altogether. This year alone has brought about some of the most significant challenges that had many
We’ve all heard how important caring for our well-being is and for many, you usually pay attention when you’re on the verge of burnout. In the age of COVID, it seemed like it was all you heard. How to care for your mental and emotional health, keeping up with physical activity, structuring your workdays in a WFH (work from home)
We’re nearly halfway through the year and those goals you may have set for yourself in January (hello new year’s resolutions) may be awash in light of this pandemic. Perspective will either tell you to completely redo them or revisit them and make them work FOR you in our current state. Change has always been a constant and yet for
Gone are the days where you’d hear a friend or colleague say, “I wish I could work from home more often.” Now you hear, “I wish I could go back to the office” or “I miss having an office to go to.” Where flexibility was once seen as a perk, as they say, too much of a good thing eventually starts to wear off. These
To say we’re living in uncertain times might be an understatement for some, depending on who you talk to. In the past 25 years, as a globe, we’ve experienced some of the world’s most devastating natural disasters from hurricanes and forest fires to economic recessions and political impacts that have made history. We’ve survived them thankfully, we’re still here and
Self-care and balance have increasingly become a focus in our culture. It was trend like for a while and slowly has become a part of our lives that we hope to ‘strive for’ personally and now professionally. Varying definitions will tell you what it means and what it should/could look like (Icertainly have one) and ultimately it will be subjective
We are back from hopefully a restful and enjoyable holiday and 2020 has been getting so much buzz since we are entering a new decade. This year will be special, to say the least, and some have said, bigger, better, more expansive, you name it, I’ve read all the things and I’m sure you have as well. It’s also the
The risks we take in our lives are often a direct measure of how willing we are to step outside our comfort zone. The risk of being seen. The risk of being judged. The risk of not being liked. The risk of failing. The risk of the unknown. The list goes on and on. Yet, we rarely consider the successes
I’m back from a fantastic trip in Italy missing carb central with all its delicious pasta and pizza. Ok yes, AND gelato – I may have had more than one ice cream a day, but who’s counting?! A trip that served as a reminder to indulge and have fun, yet, also knowing I’d be returning in a season symbolizing letting
Fear in the spiritual sense is the absence of love. In everyday life, it looks like this… “I need to make enough money in case something happens.” Or “I have to go to that conference, or I won’t meet any new clients.” Or “If I ask for time off, they’ll think I’m lazy and not working hard enough.”
The day you set the intention to pursue your dream is not the same day you reap the rewards. So often when we’re chasing or manifesting our dreams, our thoughts are miles ahead than where we actually are or where we’d like to be. But who’s isn’t? We’re already thinking 2 maybe 3 years down the road, we imagine we
Whenever someone used to talk about boundaries, I used to think of a boundary that separates or divides something. I didn’t think about it as something to protect my personal energy. Now I understand the importance of healthy boundaries and how they allow us to protect ourselves and our energy in all areas of our life. It’s your way of
How many of you have struggled with making a decision? I’m not talking about the simple ones like, what to make for dinner or where to go to eat with your loved one, although I know the “what do you feel like eating tonight?” decision can often take up the entire evening to decide. ? I’m referring to the really
Welcome back! To a new year, a new start and 365 days ahead of you to DO whatever it is your heart ❤ desires. Coming back from a relaxed holiday with lots of time for rest, sleep (LOTS of sleep), family time, filling my belly (and soul) with love and yummy treats. I’m looking forward to getting back into the
