“If we never listen to or inquire about other people’s opinions, experiences, or thoughts, we will never grow past what we have experienced and where we are now”

Assumptions: Useful or Harmful?
Assumptions can be both helpful and harmful. Assumptions are not innately good or bad. So, it is important that we understand why and how we are using them.
Self-Image and Its Influence on Our Lives
How we see ourselves is the foundation to how we see others and the world. If we do not value ourselves we assume others do not either and if we value ourselves too much (or over others) we have unhealthy expectations that others should also. And although we may try to hide behind a false veil of confidence, our insecurities will rear their head in how we judge or misinterpret others.
Coding and Decoding: Roadblocks or Bridges to Effective Communication
This week's blog is on Coding and decoding, which describes the processes by which we ascribe meaning to words, phrases, etc., and use them to either communicate something or understand what someone else is saying. We code our communication based on our experiences and our understanding of those experiences. In the same way, when others communicate with us, we decode the words and phrases they use based on our experiences and our understanding of those experiences.
Finding Balance: Left-Brain and Right-Brain Thinking Part 2
The right brain is beautifully creative and able to be in the present moment, but it can also cause us some trouble with negative thinking, isolation, and self-preservation. This week's blog discusses strategies to build healthy right-brain thinking habits.
Finding Balance: Left-Brain and Right-Brain Thinking Part 1
This blog discusses the differences between left-brain and right-brain thinking, emphasizing the importance of balancing both for optimal mental function. This week’s focus is the left brain. It explains how the left brain focuses on logic, organization, and past or future events, while the right brain excels in creativity, intuition, and present-moment awareness. It provides practical strategies to strengthen healthy left-brain thinking.

Challenge Your Limits
Challenging yourself to do hard things is where true growth happens. When you step outside your comfort zone and face difficult tasks head-on, you discover strengths you didn’t know you had. It’s in those moments of discomfort that resilience is built, confidence is forged, and new opportunities arise. Every challenge you overcome not only boosts your abilities but also proves that you’re capable of handling whatever life throws your way. Embrace the hard things—they’re the stepping stones to becoming the best version of yourself.
Over-Correcting
At the core of our human experience is the desire to become our best selves, but striking a balance between holding onto the good and releasing the bad can be difficult. Often, driven by fear, anger, or unforgiveness, we attempt to "right" past wrongs, only to over-correct in the process. In this week's blog, explore areas of your life where you may be over-correcting and consider how to find a healthier, more balanced approach instead.
Procrastination
Procrastination is a challenge many of us face, but what drives the habit of putting things off? In this blog, we dive into the psychological patterns behind procrastination, exploring how our thoughts, feelings, and actions are interconnected. From avoiding tasks we dislike to relying on last-minute adrenaline rushes, procrastination often stems from limiting beliefs that influence our behavior. This blog offers practical strategies for overcoming procrastination, breaking larger tasks into manageable steps, and fostering a balanced approach to productivity.
Forgiveness
This blog explores the power of forgiveness and its impact on your well-being. Learn how letting go of past hurts can free you from emotional burdens and lead to a more peaceful, fulfilling life. Discover why forgiveness matters and how it can transform your mindset.
Decompressing
Decompressing is not the same as doing nothing. Doing nothing only puts off the inevitable—dealing with stress. Instead, here are a few new tips for truly decompressing when you need it.
Mistake vs. Bad Decision
Words matter! What we say to ourselves and others has a lasting effect. The language we choose creates the framework for our reality and influences those around us. By cultivating a habit of speaking words that align with our best intentions and values, we create a ripple effect that extends far beyond the moment, contributing to our empowerment, empathy, and connection.
Who Are You Following?
To navigate your journey effectively, it’s crucial to first understand your destination. Knowing where you want to go in life helps you identify the mentors, leaders, and role models who can guide you along the way. Reflect on your aspirations and values—are the people you follow aligned with your goals and principles? By choosing your influences wisely, you ensure that those who shape your path are in harmony with your vision for the future, providing you with the support and inspiration needed to reach your full potential.
Matching Energy
Do you match energy? If so, who with? Are you matching energy with people that are acting in harmful ways or are you matching energy with people who encourage and challenge you to be the best version of you? Read more…
Conflict
We live in interesting times! Conflict used to be what most people considered to be a debate, and it was invited and celebrated, especially in the academic world. Differing ideas and opinions were once celebrated for their ability to create better, maybe even more balanced, ideas. Differences in thinking were not always enjoyed, but they were respected. Unfortunately, we now live in a culture where when anyone shares, especially on social media, an idea that opposes the ideas of another, an attack is launched. We have lost the ability to inquire about differences and respectfully let people think and feel for themselves. How did we get here? And how can we learn what I call “The Art of Disagreement?”
