Reaching your goals begins with believing in yourself. I thought about this and immediately thought about the movie Acrimony by Tyler Perry. The movie has a lot—and I mean a lot—of twists and turns. The husband has this idea to sell this battery-powered tool, and he believes in his idea when absolutely no one else does. I didn’t like his …
Choose to Be Beautifully Simply You
Some people won’t be your people and some people won’t like us. That’s okay. This is one of the hardest things to be okay with as perfectionists, the idea that other people won’t like us. We aim to be so perfect in everything that we do, that it absolutely pains us when someone sees us as anything different. But no …
Forgive Yourself When You Mess Up
It’s so easy to go through our lives and forget what we have in front of us. It’s so easy to sweat the small stuff and forget the great stuff. We will often experience loss and spend some time reflecting on how life is too short and how we should hug our loved ones more and tell them we love …
You Are Doing the Best You Can, and That’s Enough
I was at a restaurant called HopDoddy in California and overheard a heated conversation between a daughter and her parents.

Imperfectly Amazing, Just the Way You Are
My one eye closes a bit more than the other when I smile, and I spend too much time re-taking photos trying to keep both eyes open. I talk too much. But other times I don’t talk enough and hold in how I feel. I talk fast. So I get my point across quickly. But you might not catch on …

Some Days We Struggle, That’s Okay
I was at a NAMI support group the other night as they always bring in guest speakers. At the end of the speech, which turned into more of a discussion, one of the attendees told me I should be a motivational speaker and another told me I should write. I chuckled because I currently do both of those things. The …
You Are Worthy of Your Tomorrow
I remember so clearly a question that was asked during one of my speeches. The question that was asked was, “Do you think you’ve won your fight?”. He asked me that question because during my speeches, I always focus on reminding each of us that we are worthy of this fight for our lives. And after sharing my story of …
