Wow, can you believe we're already to mid-December? Where has this year gone?! Since the New Year brings a lot of change and new goals for most people, I thought what better time to start another personal development Feed Your Mind Book Club than January 1st. If you're not familiar with the book club, each [...]
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 [...]
I'm so excited to share Feed Your Mind, a list of best selling personal development books that have been recommended by leaders within the industry. It's a list I've compiled over two years and I'm excited to now share it with all of you!
Do you ever feel like you have no idea what to make for dinner, especially healthy meals? Many of us go to Pinterest or Google for new ideas, but wish we knew which recipes actually taste good! Did you just start working out, or maybe you have been for a while, and feel like you [...]
A while ago, I wrote a post on social media and the effect it has on people, myself included. 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 [...]
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 [...]
A few years ago, my sister gave me a book for Christmas called The Five Love Languages by Dr. Gary Chapman. I do not read a lot of books but read the back and thought it sounded very interesting. The synopsis on the book reads "Between busy schedules and long days, expressing love can fall [...]
Life, Love, and the Pursuit of... a Healthier Me! Five years ago, my husband told me he thought we were getting fat and getting a little too "fluffy". I was completely insulted, as most people would be! How dare him, how could he say such a rude and hurtful thing to me! I was in [...]
Wow, 2018 already... it is amazing how fast time goes! I am excited to see what 2018 has in store but I am sad to see 2017 go, let me explain why. On New Years Eve of 2016, my boyfriend, (now husband) Shane and I recorded a personal video of us explaining everything that had [...]
