    Fuck Mom Guilt

    December 8, 2020 /

    Mom guilt is becoming an epidemic! Surprisingly, in a time where awareness of mental health is rising (which is fantastic!), no one is talking about the pressure on mothers to be perfect. If you aren't described as a busy mom its a bad thing... I'm going out on a limb here and saying Fuck Mom Guilt!

    Let’s Put Our Phones Down and Live in the Moment

    January 5, 2020 /

    How many times have you sat in a room full of people, but felt alone because everyone in the room is staring at a screen? This is the dark side of our virtual world. I don’t know anyone who does not have a smartphone. Once upon a time, having a cell phone was a privilege only few had. Now we treat cell phones as a necessity. We are addicted to this technology that frequently rips our attention from reality. I carry my phone around with me everywhere like its a third arm. I’ve been to parties or out for dinner with friends and everyone either has a phone in hand…

    How to Attract What You Want In Life

    January 2, 2020 /

    Have you ever spend time daydreaming about something you want and have it come true in real life? If you have been so lucky, you have experienced the power of your own energy source. On the flip-side, have you ever spent time worrying or thinking that someone doesn’t like you, only to find out you were right? The law of attraction is the belief that positive or negative thoughts bring positive or negative experiences. It really makes sense if you think about it. If you think about things that are positive all of the time, your actions will likely be positive and out of good faith, and most likely good…

    Are You in a Toxic Marriage?

    November 11, 2019 /

    Some kids grow up in a perfect happy home. I grew up watching my mother’s boyfriend treat her like garbage. He was rude and grouchy to her and to us. Their relationship went from one extreme to the other, screaming matches or the silent treatment. Luckily, eventually my Mom realized her own self worth and kicked his ass out after nine years of torment. So naturally, when I was 15 years old I decided (subconsciously of course) to repeat the same behaviour patterns. My first real relationship started with jealousy, possessiveness and obsession. Great starting point! I had a thing about wanting to change and fix people… Gee, I wonder…

    Keep It Real, Ladies…

    September 9, 2019 /

    In my teens, I was a total wannabe. I looked at other girls who seemed to have it all – the boys, friends, fashion and popularity. I faked it until I turned into someone that I wasn’t. In my twenties, I was insecure and desperately trying to create a picture perfect life other women would be envious of. In my thirties, I have failed, fallen and risen to the occasion. It took accepting some hard truths for me to become happy, as well as some dark moments. Here is how I have been keeping it real in my 30’s: 1. Take a good hard look at the relationships in your…
