It’s been a long year, but you already knew that. I’ve struggled at times to find the words, that’s why the blogs have slowed, or really came to a screeching halt, if I’m being honest. This pandemic has gone on a lot longer than any of us could imagine and even for myself, it wasContinue reading “Steps Towards A New Normal”

Grateful Challenge
It hasn’t been the best of years – I know we are all feeling that and with the impending holidays it can feel like everything is being taken away from us. But the truth is, even if we have to look a little harder one day than the next, there is good in every day.Continue reading “Grateful Challenge”
Control: Refocus
This is a common thing I say to a lot of people because it rings so true in every aspect of life. If things aren’t in your control, you can’t allow them to control you. In this moment so many are stressed over the election and the looming results that we may not have untilContinue reading “Control: Refocus”
When You’ve Had Enough
It took a while for me to have “had enough.” Enough of how I was feeling, enough of the toxicity, enough of the fighting, eggshells, anxiousness…I had to WANT the change instead of wishing it would just happen. The reality is that life shouldn’t feel so difficult and it doesn’t have to…if you’re making theContinue reading “When You’ve Had Enough”
CRUSH It.
Have you ever started a day completely anxious, nervous, tense, scared about whatever the day could bring or what could happen in that morning meeting or how someone was going to react to the email you sent late last night? πππππ ππππ. For real. You πππ£ stop having that kind of reaction when you πππ€π€π¨πContinue reading “CRUSH It.”
Notice Your Progress
I’ve been discussing this more and more over the last week with clients…notice where you were and where you are NOW. We’re with ourselves all the time (duh) so, we are less apt to notice the changes in ourselves until someone else says something or something slaps us in the face to point it out.MakeContinue reading “Notice Your Progress”
Captivity
Captivity. It’s a strong word and at first, if you’re like me, you would have equated it to war and thought this doesn’t pertain to me. I truly didn’t think it did as I read the book, “Trauma and Recovery: The Aftermath of Violence – From Domestic Abuse to Political Terror.” See, it was 2015Continue reading “Captivity”
You Never Have To Do It Alone
The people have spoken I’m not saying I have all the answers. What I’m suggesting is that you never have to go through your journey alone. From the very first steps you take, you can have someone to lean on, talk things through with and start making choices that’ll guide you to your end goal,Continue reading “You Never Have To Do It Alone”
Feel Happiness
“The most worth-while thing is to try to put happiness into the live of others.” This quote is so incredibly true. I am someone that people have always gone to for advice, an ear, a shoulder…watching how this helped people or how the advice and guidance changed their world for the better, it gave meContinue reading “Feel Happiness”
Happiness Is a Choice
I know, you may be having a moment reading this all like, βMarissa, I canβt choose happiness like itβs on a shelf at Target.β *insert your eye roll here* But believe me when I say, youβre RIGHT, because itβs INSIDE OF YOU. You just choose if you allow yourself to feel it or not. ForContinue reading “Happiness Is a Choice”
