Seek to Serve Coaching

Over here in complete awe and gratitude for the synchronicity of life.

In November of 2020 I began experiencing symptoms of a neurological disorder I battled as a teenager. The fear and anxiety that gripped my body still takes a toll to this day.

It has been a year and a half of questioning why this is happening to me, but the insight and empathy I have gained is beyond what I can ever imagine. Developing a chronic illness feels impossible until it happens. Losing important pieces of your life feels unimaginable until it happens. We often feel invincible until we learn that we aren’t.

While there is still pain, grieving, and so much unknown, what I have learned about myself is enough to launch me into a new chapter in my life. One in which I have the absolute honor and privilege to help others who are battling chronic conditions. To say I am grateful is an understatement.

All of this pain has aligned me with a new purpose for my life. I simply had to trust the path I was on.

I am excited to take on a new role with in a mission to help those living with chronic illness change the way they view their experience.

I am forever grateful for all of your encouragement, patience, and love as I continue to evolve. I cannot wait to share my journey with you!

As we step into a new year, and I step away from this platform for much need rest, recovery, and reception, let me leave you with this..

This time of year is a complete and utter s**tshow of marketing telling you that you have never been enough and it’s time to change, yet again.

My challenge for you this January is to avoid the idea that you can only grow if you buy more, consume more, do more. Every single thing you need to make a change is inside of you, and you do not need to buy into the capitalist bu****it that says otherwise.

✨You are entirely made up of the beautiful things that you seek, my friends.✨And please never EVER forget it!

See you in February.✌🏼

Imma be honest for a moment, friends..

This week has been quite the fu**in’ grind. And it’s not over yet..

I have put in a lot of slow, steady work behind the scenes over the past few months that I’m really proud of.

I’ve been doing my best to honor my time, energy, and priorities in order to have the bandwidth to show up in everything I do with all the authenticity.

I have said “No” A LOT, which has allowed me to say “Yes” to the things most important to me.

And despite my best intentions, I just couldn’t control the way this week has played out thus far.

And that is totally okay.

Sometimes we do everything in our power to create flow in our lives, and sometimes we simply have to dig deep and push through.

I’m sure this sounds out of character for me, but I don’t feel one ounce of shame about it. Because I fully believe that I did everything in my control to find the flow, but as someone who lives in service of others..

Sometimes I must grind, so others can feel the flow.

And every once in a while, that’s totally okay.👌🏼

So where I can, I will rest. Because my highest contribution comes from when I work hard, and recover harder.

Enjoy your weekend, loves. I’ll see you on the other side.✨

What are you looking for today? Peace, acknowledgement, validation, love?

So, I have both good news + bad news on that front.

The bad news: The chances that you will find it on social media are slim (but never zero😂).

The good news: Whatever you are seeking is already within you.

Don’t believe me? I dare you to take the next 60” to practice this short and powerful manifestation technique. When you are finished, let me know how you feel. Better yet, put the phone down and let yourself know how you feel.

You can thank me later.😉

Quick reminder that you can literally laugh in the face of anyone who is asking you to push past your own bandwidth.

Especially if that someone is your own inner critic.

Also a reminder that literally NOBODY is going to ask you to do that in my new Facebook group. In fact, we are a group of people who are focused on creating sustainable impact in our lives and our world by rejecting the culture that tells us to always do more.

We might even give you the (compassionate) kick you need to finally believe that you are inherently worthy no 👏🏼 matter 👏🏼 your 👏🏼 productivity level!

Social media can be such a highlight reel. I have heard from many people that it creates a sense of pressure that pushes people to do more even when they don’t have the bandwidth. This inevitably causes them to have a breakdown or burn all the way out.

I know I’ve definitely felt that before (and by before, I may mean like two hours ago🙃). Anybody in that same boat?

Let this group reignite your spark if you’ve lost it, and help you maintain a slow, sustainable burn in your own life so you can feel more fulfilled and free every single day.

The link to join is in the comments. Let this be the sign that finally inspires you to slow down and take care of yourself in your mission to change the world. You are so worth it.✨

Operating from a place of shame creates an immense amount of pressure to “get it right.”

So when you fail (which you inevitably will), you will revert back to the shameful thoughts as a justification:

“Of course I messed up, because I’m a terrible planner and have no self-control.”

Bam. Now you’re back to square one with the identity that is no longer serving your most authentic self.

And the cycle repeats.

Making changes in our lives must come from a place of deep understanding and even deeper compassion for ourselves.

Let there be an overwhelming amount of self-love throughout the journey, friends, not just when you meet your destination.

What’s one thing you have felt shame for in the past, that now you could try loving just a bit more? Feel free to share.👇🏼

You guys, we are so 👏🏼 freaking 👏🏼 close! 👏🏼👏🏼

Guys, I think we need to have a little talk.

Can we all just agree that we will STOP letting society tell us to be quiet about how much we love ourselves?

They want us to play small. To play their little game and contribute to their mindset of “never enough.” They want us to keep looking outside of ourselves for approval, so we will continue to say “Yes” to everything for fear that finally honoring our own priorities will disappoint someone.

F**k that.

I need you to PROMISE ME you will start saying “No” to that s**t that isn’t serving you.

Know your damn worth. Be loud. Cheer for yourself. And go get whatever the f**k it is that YOU want. Without apology.

And let others be disappointed when you do. Because this isn’t about them and what they want.

This is about you.

I DARE YOU to let them see you SHINE when you start honoring your own time, energy, and boundaries instead of theirs. I DARE YOU to start putting yourself first.

To love ourselves enough to stop the people-pleasing is a step towards freedom. To love ourselves loudly, and without apology, is a fu**ing revolution. One we must all partake in if we are going to change the world. Now let’s do the damn thing.

You in? 👊🏻👊🏼👊🏽👊🏾👊🏿

This picture was taken two years ago, on my 30th birthday.

I had no idea the path I would blaze from that point forward.

For nearly a full year following this photo, the road was incredibly grim. Darkness accompanied most of my days. To be honest, I almost didn’t make it out. Thankfully, as time went on, I found a tiny beam of light.

Not by accident though.

I fully believe it was all by design. As painful as it is to look back on, I was meant to fall into darkness. I was meant to experience what I can only describe as the shattering of everything I thought I was. And in that ugly, terrifying, grim place, a seed was planted. A seed that has sprouted into the woman I am meant to become. The woman that I am still growing into as we speak.

And that is the only reason I am here to share my story today.

By the grace of something so much bigger than myself (you can call it the Universe, God, fate, whatever), that tiny beam of light showed itself. In my family, in my friends, in the dog who never left my side when I wouldn’t get out of bed for days on end.

So, my love, what if you embraced each moment of darkness? What if you trusted that they are exactly what you need to experience in order to shatter and rebuild? What if, from here on out, you began to believe that everything that has happened to you, is happening for you? What if you believed that your tiny beam of light WILL show itself when you are meant to see it?

Would you maybe begin to find that beam of light in otherwise insignificant moments in your own life? In your family, your friends, your most precious connections? Would you maybe feel just a bit more hope that everything in your life is going to work out, not in the way you want, but in the way you need?

Would you love yourself, unconditionally, right where you are? Because I know I sure love you.

Yes, you are a total badass.

I know you can handle your s**t. I’ve seen you do it time and time again.

BUT just in case you forgot.. Just because you CAN handle it all, doesn’t mean you have to.

It’s okay to put things on the back burner. It’s okay to ask for help. It’s okay to decide something is no longer right for you and walk away.

You don’t need to give your energy to something just for the sake of handling it. Your energy is precious. Give it to the things that deserve it, and that also make your life richer in the process.

You owe it to yourself.✨

Your coach, in her natural habitat.

One of the main things I preach in my is Having Hobbies That Aren’t Goal Oriented.

One of my favorite hobbies is photographing dogs, and it has absolutely nothing to with my goals. It’s something I pretty much fell into after a friend encouraged me to give it a shot, and this is what I’ve determined about it so far:

•I’m pretty mediocre at it.
•I’ll never monetize it.
•It gives me a creative outlet and allows me to forget about “life” for a while.
•I get so 👏🏼 much 👏🏼 fu**ing 👏🏼 joy 👏🏼 from it.

And you know what? That’s plenty reason to keep doing it. Because not everything has to be for the sake of income, acknowledgement, or personal growth. Sometimes you just need to get slobbered on by an adorable dog while creating memories (or whatever you’re into, honestly.😉)
