We are all born dreamers. When we're children, we marvel at the world. We have tea parties with imaginary friends, we role play and imagine ourselves as police(wo)men, doctors, actresses or fire marshals. Growing up, we pay attention to everything we see and hear. And that's one way our beliefs abou...

Aaaaand….. It’s goal setting time again! It’s actually one of my favorite times of the year. It’s a moment filled with reflection, celebration and hope at the year to come. It’s a moment when we get to spend time with friends and family and with ourselves as we think about what we’ve been through, a...

Have you ever had a day when things just can’t seem to go smoothly?

Fast forward to today and...

Self-confidence doesn’t always come easy, especially in this day and age. Trolls are everywhere and we are constantly bombarded with messages that tear down our self-esteem and tell us we're not good enough. But the truth of the matter is you are enough!
