Life has a way of throwing us into unexpected moments—ones we didn’t see coming, didn’t ask for, and certainly wouldn’t have chosen. Maybe it’s a diagnosis, a job loss, a broken relationship, or just the weight of everything feeling like too much. In those moments, we have a choice: we can see the struggle as…
I used to downplay my birthday. I’d brush off any mention of it, wave away the idea of a party, and insist that it was just another day. I told myself I didn’t need the attention, that birthdays weren’t a big deal. But deep down, my resistance wasn’t about humility—it was about history. My past…
We’ve all heard it. Maybe we’ve even said it ourselves: “Just think positive!” or “Look on the bright side!” While these words often come from a good place, they can sometimes do more harm than good. That’s because they fall into the trap of toxic positivity—the idea that we should only focus on the positive…
Stress. It’s one of those things we all deal with, whether we’re at work, at home, or somewhere in between. As educators, parents, and leaders, the weight we carry can feel overwhelming at times. But here’s the truth: managing stress isn’t about avoiding challenges; it’s about building practices that help us navigate them. Here are…
One of the hardest things about being a leader, a friend, or even just a decent human being is watching someone struggle when they don’t want help. It’s in our nature to want to step in, fix the problem, and offer solutions. One thing I’ve often found myself struggling with though, is what do you do…
Some days, the weight of everything just feels like too much. The to-do list never ends, the expectations keep piling up, and you find yourself running on empty. You’re exhausted—physically, mentally, emotionally. You start wondering if you even have it in you to keep going. I get it. I’ve been there. Heck most days I’m…
Our lives are a constant journey of growth and change. Who you are today is not who you were five minutes ago, five days ago, or even five years ago—and that’s a beautiful thing. Each moment offers us an opportunity to learn, grow, and redefine ourselves. Think about it: five minutes ago, you were carrying…
Ever feel like you’re constantly running a race you didn’t even sign up for? You scroll through social media and see someone celebrating a big promotion, buying a new house, or launching an exciting project, and suddenly, the little wins in your own life don’t seem to matter as much. Trust me, I’ve been there…
We live in a world that loves instant gratification. We want success now. We want change now. We want to see results immediately. And if/when it doesn’t, we get upset. Right this moment, you can find countless Instagram Reels or TikTok videos of random people freaking out when something doesn’t happen exactly when they want…
So if you’re reading this and you’re struggling today, hear me loud and clear:
Don’t let anyone tell you your emotions don’t matter.
Feel what you’re feeling.
Embrace it.
Work through it.
Life isn’t always sunshine and high-fives. There are moments, days, or even seasons where the weight of hard emotions—fear, sadness, anger—can feel like too much to carry. And it’s in these times that we often want to run, to dodge the discomfort, or to numb ourselves with distraction. But what if, instead, we chose to face those hard emotions head-on?
We’ve all had those moments where life feels like it’s spinning out of control. The kind where your mind races, your heart pounds, and it feels impossible to catch your breath. Heck if you’re like me, you might feel that every day! When everything’s swirling around you, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. Recently I heard about…
