In past posts, I've shared the Effects of Social Media and how quickly we can get wrapped up into the Social Media Tornado. These are two of my most popular posts and I know there is a reason for that, because comparison on social media is becoming a serious issue these days! Many of us [...]
I'm sharing 10 of my favorite podcasts that have helped improve my life! They're such a great way to consume personal development, advice, new business ideas and strategies, and so much more! There is literally a podcast for EVERYTHING!
The other day I was thinking about my first impression of self-help. I was about 19 years old at the time, Shane, my husband (then boyfriend) and I had been in a pretty unhealthy relationship due to a lot of miscommunication with each other. We had gone through a lot together in the first part [...]
It has taken me so long to figure out my "why" and today, I receive the reassurance I needed to keep going!
I'm always shocked by the amount of people who are as interested in personal development as I am! It's so encouraging to know that there are so many women out there like me, in search of becoming their best selves. I'm so glad I stumbled upon personal development a few years ago and how much [...]

When I wrote the post, I had every intention to no longer fall into the cycle of comparing myself on social media, especially Instagram, and the downward spiral effect it can have on ones self-esteem. Unfortunately, [...]
As long as I can remember, I always had negative thoughts about myself. It's like a little voice inside my head that wouldn't shut up and would just continually tell me how I wasn't good enough. I wasn't smart enough, pretty enough, "__" enough, however I filled in the blank. Always criticizing and comparing myself [...]
Self-doubt, low self-esteem, insecurities, negative thoughts of ourselves. Where do they come from and why do we all have them? Have these issues always been there and people just didn't talk about them or are they more prevalent than ever in today's society, and if so, why? Why do we feel the need to compare [...]
Life, Love, and the Pursuit of... Following Dreams! Stepping out of your comfort zone and following your dreams can be scary, many times we play the worse case scenario game in our head and allow it to hold us back. When we do take the leap, sometimes it pays off and sometimes it doesn't, either [...]
I was introduced to Personal Development in October of 2016. At the time, I was sitting in my car on my lunch break at work scrolling through Facebook. I came across a post by a fitness coach, Foodie Girl Fitness who was talking about self-love. The coach had posted two pictures of herself, side by [...]
By appreciating what you already have in your life, it will lead to a much happier life! We tend to put so much energy into what we want next in life. Instead, try to appreciate what you currently have before life passes you by. Most times, we're so focused on what we don't have vs. [...]
