She Speaks Series

It is just as okay for you to politely say “no”, as it is okay for them to politely ask you out

When we hide our feelings, we are preventing ourselves from having real and meaningful connections with others

I see people every week who are unable to form meaningful connections because they are so afraid to say how they truly feel or they just just prefer to keep their feelings to themselves

What is your story? Where did you learn that, perhaps it is better to be silent? Are you standing in your own way of having real connections, or is it your learned story?

Read well. Speak well. Simple.

Are you standing in your own way when it comes to making real connections? How? Well, the more we hide our true feelings from ourselves and from others, the more we enable ‘surface’ conversations and prevent meaningful connections from happening

Let’s start here - the next time someone asks you how you are doing, don’t be quick to say you are doing well. Think about it for a split sec and tell them how you actually are doing. Perhaps your answer could be, “I could be better but I am hanging in there” or “I am well, but your wellness has been on my mind, and I really want to know how you are doing”. 😀

Worried you may sound arrogant? Here, allow me to take the lead.

I love me. I love that I am empathetic . I love that my silver strands of wisdom don’t bother me. I love that I don’t get angry, instead I get hurt. I love that I am too hard on myself. I love that I don’t put too much value on money and never remember how much I have In my wallet. I love that I am studying to become an MFT, yet dream of opening a phenomenal vegan restaurant in the far future. I love that I don’t watch the news. I love food and I love more that I will never share my ramen with you. I love how fiercely protective I am of my family. I love that I have to find the courage to do what I do, every single day. I love that showing love comes naturally to me. I love that I will make you feel that you are the only person in the room if I am talking to you. I listen. I love that when I start cleaning, I will not stop until EVERYTHING is clean. I just can’t help it. It’s a disease. I love that sometimes I don’t learn from my mistakes because some mistakes are beautiful. I love that I am extremely intuitive. I love that I never remember the names of movies I have watched. I love that I will probably forget your name, but will always remember your story.

Now your turn 💕

Think of all the things you can do today, that you couldn’t even think of doing last year. You got this!

Think back to your most memorable conversations and I am sure you will find elements of courage and depth. You gotta give in order to get 😀

To who we are with Hair buns and Cinnabons ... Real, Powerful and with Intention. I wish you that kinda day, every day 💕

Just checking in with you at the end of Week of Love. I want you to take a moment to think about society’s narrative, story, or idea of what this week should have been like and contrast it to your preferred reality

What is your preferred reality? Well you gotta dig deep. What does love mean to you? Does love come around once a year ? Is love a person, a thing or a place? What happens when Love is not around? Who are you when love is not around? If these answers don’t make you happy, this is not the reality you prefer.

The conversations we have with ourselves dictate our realities. If you don’t like what you are hearing, change your story

Brave conversations are just not reserved for others ... they are to be had with oneself too..
