I Am So Proud of You
I am so proud of you. For fighting through the pain. For continuing to move forward, despite all of the days you wanted to give up. For choosing you, even when other choices seemed more desirable. For choosing to see the light within the darkness. For choosing to not settle. For choosing to be who […]
2020 Has Only Made You Stronger
What a whirlwind 2020 has been. Many of us will look back at this year of all that it took from us. 2020 has been incredibly difficult. 2020 has taken away security in so many ways, it has taken away stability, it has taken away coping mechanisms that we once had, like spending time with […]
Give Yourself the Gift of Self-Love
Always remember that who you are is a gift. You are a gift to this world just by being you. We don’t give ourselves enough credit. We can be so mean to ourselves for our mistakes, and be so compassionate to a friend for that very same mistake. It’s great you can see the good […]
You Are Worthy As You Are
We don’t give ourselves enough credit. We so easily put ourselves down and tell ourselves that we aren’t good enough, or that we aren’t worthy of reaching a certain goal, or worthy of continuing on. We make mistakes and we beat ourselves up. That mistake and the feelings of guilt that come along with it […]
Dream Big, You Are Capable of Amazing Things
In a weird way, the pandemic has reignited my passion for my work. For a while, I was writing blog posts more as an obligation than as a desire to help others. I was in a slump, not feeling really positive or optimistic about the future. I know not everyone is in the same boat […]
People Come and Go But Always Help with Our Growth
Some people come into your life for only a season, but for the most important reasons. We will never fully understand why some people come into our lives and why some people leave. Sometimes, the people that we wanted to stay with with every ounce of our being leave. Those are the moments that hurt […]
Sometimes Traumas Resurface, Keep Loving Yourself
It finally happened. What I think I would call my worst nightmare. Y’all, I am open with my struggle. I have been on the news, podcasts, and spread my message across the country. It is not a mystery that I was in an emotionally abusive relationship, I blog about it all of the time. However, […]
You Are Stronger Than You Think
Remember all of those days you thought you couldn’t get through? Well, here you are. You are so much stronger than you think. There’s a country song that says, “What I thought was going to be the death of me, ended up being my saving grace”. I remember thinking that leaving my last relationship would […]
I Still Struggle, Just Like You, That’s Okay
In my presentations, I talk about how for so long people thought I had it all together, so they didn’t always feel the need to check-in. And then sometimes I scroll through my Instagram and think, well there are probably some students and student-athletes that I talk to that still think I have it all […]
Choose to Be You
I will always be what I say, is a “recovering perfectionist”. I spent most of my entire life chasing perfection, so it’s not always so easy to completely stop chasing the unrealistic ideal that is perfection. For my mental health modules, I enjoy getting feedback, but also cringe every time I get an email telling […]
