		<description><![CDATA[**Vulnerability Alert** These day, the words self-love get thrown around like confetti. It’s one of those all encompassing, positive blanket statements that can loose all meaning after you’ve heard it enough. It’s also not clear or measurable, so it’s kind of hard to act on. Ya sure, all of us could use a little more ‘self-love’, but what does that even mean? This might be a strange introduction from a woman who defines herself as a Self-Love Coach, but hear me out. Having been in the personal development world for almost seven years, I’ve seen every kind of trend and it seems like it’s ‘Self-Love’s’ moment to shine. There is no end to articles, interviews or books telling you how to ‘love yourself more.’ Though I am grateful for the rise in popularity of the subject, I have one problem: it’s all surface level. Have a bath. Light a candle. Buy some flowers. Take a nap. I’m laughing as I write this because of course, these are strategies my clients and I come up with. But there’s a more important piece to cover first: what it means to love yourself and why it’s so important. Enter Vulnerability: I started my [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There’s nothing like opening a freshly purchased notebook, cracking open the front cover to a clean, blank page. It beckons to be written on. New ideas. New possibilities. So much promise. So much hope. And so it is with the start of a new year. It’s as though all of the hardships of the previous year (heck, sometimes many previous years) have been forgiven. Wiped away. And you are free to start anew. As glorious as that feeling is, let’s be honest: it’s a hell of a lot of pressure. As a Virgo and thereby an ever recovering perfectionist, I know a thing or two about pressure. When I was a little girl, I used to love (a capital L kind of love) getting my new notebooks and sketchbooks at the beginning of the school year because they were perfect. Clean. Tidy. Full of potential. Ohh how I could barely wait fill my books. I would visualize writing with perfect penmanship and creating brilliant works of art. Every year I’d look down on those blank pages my soul would fill with inspiration as I felt I was surely about to embark on a collection of masterpieces. There was only one [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ever have that feeling? The one where it seems like your running in circles and getting nowhere fast? Or despite your best intentions and efforts, it feels like no matter what you do, you keep hitting that infamous invisible wall? “What gives?” You might be thinking. I mean you are truly ready to make a change in your life: Ready to go after your dreams. That promotion. That new fitness regime. That relationship you’ve been waiting for. AND…..nada. Your left in the lurch, waiting, anticipating the arrival of something spectacular and IT. NEVER. COMES. Or so it would seem. There’s only one thing is getting in your way darling and that is resistance. Resistance comes in all shapes and sizes: perfectionism, excuses, frustration, blame. No matter what form of resistance you’re experiencing it all comes down to being fearful of what could happen if you actually listened to your heart and went after what you truly wanted. You could actually be successful and that’s scary. You could fail and that’s scary. You might fall in love and that’s scary. People might treat you differently (aka you may no longer fit in with your ‘tribe’) and that’s scary. You have to [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are storytellers by our very nature. Stories can captivate our hearts, inspire us to reach for more or rock us to our core. We go to movies, read books, watch plays, and live to know ‘what happened next.’ Yes, storytelling is the most natural part of the human experience, but what about the stories we tell in our daily mental theatre? From the moment we are able to string thoughts together, we have been creating stories about everything from who we are, what we are capable of, what we’re worth and how difficult or easy life is. If our stories are positive, it’s a pretty great show. If they are negative on the other hand, we are in for an painful Greek drama with no end in sight. The common plot lines? I’m unworthy. I’m unloveable. I’m not smart enough. Things happen for other people but not me. But ultimately all of these disempowering stories lead to one overarching theme: I’m not good enough. This story is the culprit for all of our ‘nots’: Not putting ourselves out there for love Not standing up for our needs and wants Not going for the dream job or asking for the [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Life certainly has a sense of humour. When we desire something, though it would seem rational to seek outside of ourselves for it, ironically it’s the exact opposite place to look. Everything you wish to have, be, do or experience starts from first experiencing it within. Our ego (or fear) would love to have us believe that we must strive, pine, yearn or cling to hold onto something to have it. But this gem of a voice is simply a storyteller (if a damn convincing one at that). The truth you cannot be striped of that which already belongs to you. You are already whole and are the boundless source of everything you seek. You are love. You are joy. You are beauty. You are success. You are creativity. You are abundant. However our fears would tell us otherwise, have us look in the opposite direction and tell us that we are not enough and therefore must seek it. By doing so, we ironically miss what’s right in front of our face. We are the source of that which we wish to experience. You are your own gatekeeper. What and where you focus is what you experience. Scarcity begets feelings [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Walls are a funny thing. They come in all forms: Broken heart? Put up a wall. Lost a job? Put up a wall. Scared of the unknown? Put up a wall. Rejected in any capacity? Put up a wall. On one hand, they represent security. Walls give us a place where we can retreat and take refuge. Walls allow us to feel comfortable. We can create a safe space for ourselves within the confinements of our walls, in which the threats from outside can be kept at bay. It sounds like a pretty sweet deal. But here’s the thing: On the other hand, when you put up a wall you simultaneously prevent the possibility of good things flowing towards you and the good within you from flowing out. As such, you not only shut out the bad, you shut out the potentiality of something better than you could have ever imagined coming to you. By putting up that wall you might be keeping yourself safe, but in doing so you dim the glorious light that shines within you and withhold your gifts that someone, somewhere needs in their life. And so it is that the act of putting up a wall [&#8230;]]]></description>
