Let’s stop saying that self-care is just massages and bubble baths.

Happy Mindset Monday!
My coaching practice has been pretty full these days and I’m seeing a theme. Many of my clients are feeling tired, depleted, overwhelmed, and anxious from living through the ups and downs of the past two years.

Happy International Women’s Day! Happy #IWD2022!
Today, March 8th, marks the 111th anniversary of International Women’s Day, a day that honors the fight for our rights as women– to end hunger, end poverty, end domestic violence, fight for gender equality and rally around each other as women.

And no amount of roses or surprise gifts from your partner on Valentine’s Day are going to rectify the issue.
