Okay, this is gonna be a pretty vulnerable post and I’m a little nervous about it. But I know talking about this has served me well and I hope it serves you well too.
All Throughout my teenage years...

Just like a lot of other people, I felt like I never fit in. I didn’t always get invited and felt left out. I was never viewed as “the cool kid” but not completely dorky as well. The back -handed compliments, not very nice comments and being left out hurt then and it still hurts looking back sometimes to this day.
But throughout adulthood…
✨Raising my children
✨Marrying the man that supports me in everything
✨ Pursuing the career that I love and have expertise in
and
✨Becoming a CEO to my own business
I have come to realize that those setbacks helped me persevere.

As some of you know…
I have been doing some courses that have brought me more self-awareness and on a holistic healing journey. You may know my story of why I view life differently in the last couple years or you may not (that may be another post, we’ll see how vulnerable I really want to get 😂)
In my era to succeed, I have found courses, people and mentors that truly are helping me use the setbacks to create a better future. I would not be the person I am, had I not have gone through the experiences that formed me.
By embracing my quirkiness and the differences

I have come to realize it is the best thing for my business and the clients that choose me. I am leaning into new energy techniques, mindset realignment strategies, and overall change in how I view myself.
I thought this post would be a good idea for me and for you reading…
because honestly the more you change your mindset about you, how you are perceived and things in your life, the more you think positive thoughts and the better your reality becomes.

You stop focusing on all the negative things and start highlighting all of the small things. When you look past the negative, you stop worrying about the past, you end up embracing the uncomfortable feeling of not achieving your goals... yet and you then, start making moves to better your life.
By embracing my differences, I honestly don’t care what anybody else around me is doing. I of course, get imposter syndrome and get nervous just like anybody else. But nobody can be quite like me. Just like nobody can be quite like you.
You may find me weird, hard to handle stubborn, even a bitch at times. I am also fun, outgoing, welcoming, kind and truly care with all of my heart. You just have to let go the fear of not being accepted.

The people that truly care for you will accept you no matter what as long as you have a good heart. That’s all, I just wanted to write a really heartfelt blog this week. Let me know if you like this style or back to my normal informative blog style!
