I woke up. Over a long period of time and also all at once, I woke up to see the divinity and abundance that exists within me, in my soul. I see it in your soul. It is now my commitment to continue to live soul-driven and heart-centered every single day, and it is my
“Disneyland is the star, everything else is the supporting role.” ~Walt Disney “Just having a quick shower, I’ll text you before I leave x” I’d received that text only ten minutes ago, so what the hell was wrong with me? There I was standing in my kitchen like a mad woman, having a panic attack.

I’ve found myself procrastinating a lot these days and struggling to stay focused. It feels like I’m giving myself a break or a reset, or at least that’s what I tell myself. Then, somehow, days go by and I still haven’t sat down to do the thing that matters. And I have to wonder why.

1. You’re going to do your best work with a clear mind. You don’t want to skip meals and miss out on hours of sleep in order to get more accomplished throughout the day. Chances are, you’ll do a much better job on each individual task if you take care of yourself, if you clear
One of the paradoxes of learning to cope with anxiety is that it often means you’re prepared for chaos and crisis. When everyone else is thrown by the uncertainty, you’re strangely at home because it is not as far from your day-to-day lived reality as it is to their’s. I often joke that at a

“Daring to set boundaries is about having the courage to love ourselves, even when we risk disappointing others.” ~Brené Brown Saying no is difficult for me. Whether it be to a loved one or a stranger, work tasks or a new hobby, something I enjoy or despise, saying no just plain sucks. So instead I
As one of the foremost power couples in the industry, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith’s marriage has served as an inspiration to many other pairs trying to make it work.

Healing means owning the pain without pushing it away. Healing means embrace it, accept it, keep going. Allow the harm to move through but never forget: Healing looks like acceptance and feels like gratitude. And your struggles don’t define you (unless you so choose.) Healing means “I can’t change the past, so I’m choosing to

“The dark night of the soul is a journey into light, a journey from your darkness into the strength and hidden resources of your soul.” ~Caroline Myss Growing up in a household with both parents, my grandmothers, and pets, people often assumed we were the picture-perfect family.

As humans, we are often reminded that it’s important to have self esteem and a strong sense of our own accomplishments. That, is, of course, true.

It was newsworthy, but not earth-shattering, when Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced on May 8 that the company’s 48,000 employees would continue working from home until at least the end of 2020.

As Canadians begin to re-enter the public spaces after the novel coronavirus shut down the economy for months, the proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE) is more important than ever. PPE, which can include anything from medical masks to homemade face coverings and disposable gloves, is a crucial line of defense against the deadly
Sometimes I wonder if whatever we tell ourselves is even true. So much of our worldview is often based on other’s experiences, what they told us, and how we narrate things to ourselves. Our mind is such a powerful tool, and through it we create endless stories about ourselves and the world around us. But

1. Life is beautiful, even with all of the messy bits. 2. There are plenty of things in life that you cannot control, but there are also plenty of things that you can, too. Focus on what you can control. 3. Even when life hurls things your way that you have no control over, you
