That ache in your heart, the yearning for connection, the longing for shared laughter and those deep conversations that only come with true understanding? It's a universal human experience, my dear. We all crave that sense of belonging, that feeling of being seen and heard for who we truly are.

But what happens when that connection seems distant? When the silence feels deafening, and the walls seem to close in? It's easy to feel overwhelmed, discouraged, even lost.

Life is full of beautiful moments, and I am deeply grateful to be surrounded by so many wonderful, talented, and kind-hearted people.

But let's be real... We've ALL encountered those energy vampires who try to suck the joy right out of us!

You know who I'm talking about – that person who leaves you feeling exhausted and drained after every conversation? They might be combative, argumentative, or just plain negative.

But here's the thing: YOU have the power to choose how you react!

You are NOT a victim of their negativity.

Have you ever felt like your talents and contributions aren't recognized? 

It's that hopeless feeling when you've poured your heart and soul into a project, only to feel completely overlooked. This feeling of being undervalued can be SO deflating, draining all of your energy and motivation...

 If this resonates with you, my beautiful friend, you're not alone! We've all felt undervalued at some point in our journey.

Anger, that fiery emotion we often try to suppress and conceal! It's often cast in a negative light, viewed as a destructive force capable of wreaking havoc on our lives, relationships, and overall well-being.

We're taught to fear it, to avoid it at all costs, to bottle it up deep within ourselves lest it escape and cause chaos.

Do you ever find yourself wishing for a different reality?

It could be working for a new company, living in a nicer house or even wishing you could change the past.It's a familiar feeling – the sadness of when things aren't as we'd like them to be.

Life is a mix of things we can change and things we can't. When we understand this, we can focus on what truly matters

Burnout. It's a word I've been hearing far too often lately, from colleagues, friends, and even family.

In today's hustle culture, it's easy to fall into the trap of burnout. A place where passion dies and exhaustion takes over. But remember, dear friends, life is all about balance.

Do you ever feel like a fraud at work, even though you're competent and accomplished?

If I had a dollar for every 'what if' that's kept me up at night, I could probably retire early.

What if your mistakes could become the fuel for your next victory?

Rejection is a part of life that we can’t avoid. How we respond to rejection can make all the difference. So, what's the secret? It's simpler than you might think.

I like to think of my zeal as a fire, a radiant source of energy. Beautiful energy that I keep inside of me.

When overwhelm strikes, it's like a bucket of water right on top of those flames.  It’s cold, wet and miserable.

But even the tiniest ember can be fanned back to life with the right approach.
