I want you to know that no matter what you’re struggling with right now, it will get better. It always does. But it starts with you first acknowledging the problem and then taking action on it. You can’t stick your head in the sand and hope it goes away. That doesn’t work. Trust me, I’ve tried. It will be painful. It will be scary. It will be uncomfortable. But also? It will be worth it. Because soon, it will be over. Soon it will just be a part of your story that you can share your lessons from. Not until you take the first step of acknowledgement, though. You can’t keep pushing it off. You can’t wait any longer to fix this problem that is hanging over your head. Suffocating you. Negatively affecting every second of every day. I’ve done this in the past (just last year, actually, where I pushed big problems off for months, even years). I’ve done things I knew would make the problem worse just because I was being stubborn. I’ve avoided dealing with my emotions, and the underlying reason the problem happened in the first place. I was scared. Scared to admit what I’ve done. Scared to acknowledge the severity of the problem. Scared to ask for help and let others know how much I messed up. So I would delay “getting to it”. I kept telling myself I would finally sit down and figure it out. I’d solve the problem once and for all and never let it happen again. Just not right this second. I’d DELAY DELAY DELAY. And eventually the universe...

The funny thing about people is that they say they want something, but they don’t PROVE it with their actions, and so of course they don’t get it, and complain that “this manifesting stuff doesn’t work”. LOL Come on now. You didn’t really think that writing down a few affirmations in your journal each day was enough, did you? You don’t really believe that in order to manifest, you just ask for something and then sit around and wait until you’re INSPIRED to do something to make it happen? Wrong and wrong and wrong and wrong x infinity. Here’s what’s up: To manifest ANYTHING, there IS a process. You need to do a series of things in order to bring what you want to life. It won’t just magically appear in your life because you asked for it or visualized about it one time. It comes because you know it’s already THERE. ACTION is a big part of that process. What you want? It comes when you decide and then take action. Messy action that comes from being in your Feel Good Flow State. Meaning: You’ve gotta do stuff. And the STUFF is always “what feels good right now”. So today your stuff might be: - write a post on FB about a comment someone made, that I wanna rant about - send an email to ______ about my 6-month program I think they’d be perfect for - get my nails done because I want to feel like a boss lady and sexy nails makes me feel that way - message my coach about my new sales page and...

Today’s realization: It’s a pretty cool feeling when you get an unexpected $2,000+ bill and you don’t freak out. In fact, you say ”oh, that’s it?” and pay it straight away without flinching. Guess this money mindset stuff actually works. Ahh how much things have changed in the last 3 years! I remember being so fucking SCARED of money. Terrified to let it go. The fear of spending money (even on things I needed, like groceries and gas in the car) had me in a chokehold ALL of the time. And when an unexpected bill came in the mail? I just about lost my shit. The panic and the anxiety would be so strong that I started getting heart palpitations and periods where I’d struggle to breathe. Any time I’d receive money, I would feel scared to spend it. I tried to hoard it, thinking that if I just had some money stashed away, I would feel better. And I did. Until the next unexpected bill came in the mail. The problem wasn’t that I didn’t know how to make money. The problem wasn’t that I was an over-spender. The problem wasn’t that I didn’t know how to save. The problem was that I had deep-rooted money issues to solve. I didn’t realize this until I started working with a mentor who pointed it out to me. I didn’t know when my bills were due I wasn’t setting aside money for taxes I wasn’t calculating my income/expenses properly I didn’t pay off my credit cards on time I would forget to pay bills (especially paper bills that would come to...

Do you ever have one of those days where you feel completely blank, don’t know what to say, and feel overwhelmed with the thought of doing anything but just sitting down and eating a donut for breakfast? Or how about the days when you do ALL THE THINGS, but at night, before you lie down to go to sleep, you wonder to yourself “what the fuck did I even DO today?”, feeling completely unaccomplished, even though you did so much? Here’s the good news: You’re not alone. There are people out there, just like you, who ocassionally have a really shitty day, and also, have really freakin’ amazing days. The other good news is this: You can have more amazing days than shitty days if you just decide to. Stop focusing on the shitty days or the shitty feelings, and focus on the amazing. That’s when the amazing happens. This morning I woke up and immediately felt a sense of panic at all I need to do before I leave for the airport to go home to my big comfy bed and snuggly kitties. I really wanted to sleep in. I didn’t want to throw the covers off and freeze my ass off (hot damn it’s COLD in the mornings here!). But I made a choice: A choice that I would feel ACCOMPLISHED and RELAXED today, during my travels. And I can’t feel accomplished and relaxed if I don’t do my morning activities. So I got up. Shivered as I got dressed, made my mushroom coffee, sat down, and got my hustle on. I journaled, I wrote. I did...

Stop complaining that “nothing is working” when YOU are the one that isn’t working. Success? Guess what - comes from work. Comes from putting in the time, doing the actions, day after day, until they freakin’ STICK, and then on and on still. Money? You want money? Cool… so why aren’t you asking for it then? Why aren’t you showing up every day and asking for the sale, promoting your offers consistently, telling people HOW they can send you money? Why? Why are you so obsessed with having it all, but not obsessed with doing what’s necessary to HAVING it all? Guess what – Hate to break it to ya (not really), but you will never have it all until you decide you’ll settle for nothing less and then you - yes - DO THE DAMN THING. You work. You show up. You make it happen. You keep going, even when it feels like it’s not working, you press on. Because that big break you’re hoping for? Is right around the freakin’ corner. It’s right there. You’re so damn close. Don’t quit while you’re ahead. The reason you don’t yet have what you want is not because it’s unavailable for you, it’s because you haven’t decided that it’s FOR you, right now. Because let me tell ya – Once you commit to something there’s NOTHING you can’t achieve. The insipired ideas you wait around all day for? They won’t come until you first commit. To getting what you want. To having what you want. This is your freakin’ LIFE. Are you sure you wanna keep living it the way...
