Staying within our comfort zone can hold us back, and how even the smallest step outside of it can begin to build our confidence.

"The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step." – Lao Tzu

Ever catch yourself thinking, "I wish I could..." but then talking yourself out of it? That's your comfort zone holding you back. But guess what? The magic happens when you push past that invisible barrier.

Misconceptions and myths surrounding confidence building - In my years of coaching and mentoring, I've come across countless beliefs and practices that do more harm than good when it comes to cultivating genuine self-assurance.

But here's the kicker: many people aren't even aware of these myths, let alone the negative impact they can have on their confidence. That's why I'm here to shed light and set the record straight once and for all.

I had been dreaming of starting my own coaching business for years, but self-doubt and fear were holding me back.

I was stuck in a cycle of overthinking and second-guessing, wondering if I had what it takes to succeed in such a competitive industry. While also struggling with the unknown of how to get started and the fear of making the wrong decision.

But I took steps to make a change.

During times of change, it's easy to feel off-balance and overwhelmed. Resilience is the ability to adapt and bounce back from these challenges. Achieving balance and resilience is essential for maintaining your well-being and navigating life's transitions with grace.

Life is full of transitions. Whether it's starting a new career, becoming a parent, moving to a new city, or navigating personal changes, these moments can feel overwhelming. If you've ever found yourself feeling lost or unsure during these times, you're not alone. Mindset journaling can be a powerful tool to help you navigate these transitions with grace and resilience.

How our unique Enneagram types shape our communication styles, adding layers of empathy and authenticity to our interactions.

Communication isn't just about the words we say; it's about how we express ourselves and how we actively listen to others. Here are a few communication skills that can help you connect and relate through a lens of compassion and understanding:

Our minds are remarkable, but sometimes they hold onto negative messages crafted to shield us from past experiences. Those moments when life throws a curveball, and our minds create stories to soften the blow. Unfortunately, these stories often turn into false and limiting beliefs, distorting our true identities and acting as roadblocks to our dreams.

Reflection is not a mere stroll down memory lane; it's a deliberate pause to decode the whispers of our experiences. Think of it as a personal debrief, a chance to examine the highs that lifted your spirit and the lows that tested your resilience.

During childhood, we began to tell ourselves a different story about who we are and what we need to do in order to be successful, be happy, or just to survive. 

These stories have served us well at different times in life, but it is important to take time to reflect and see if they are still serving us or if they’re holding us back.  Let me share a brief overview of the stories each Enneagram type may tell themself:

The Enneagram Centers of Intelligence refer to how we interact with the world through our Body (instinct), Heart (feeling), and Head (thinking) centers. So let's take a look at what these centers are, the issues and struggles each type in the centers have, and steps to learn so you can access all three of our centers to be better balanced.

The English language uses the word love in so many different contexts which in my opinion can dilute what we really want to express when we use the word.

Whereas, the Greek language has different words to describe the many types of love we experience.

Have you ever felt like you have a lot of thoughts and feelings bubbling up inside of you but you aren’t sure what to do with it? Or you feel like you just have to face it all alone?

Maybe you grew up being taught that your personal world is something you keep to yourself and so you’ve learned you have to internalize everything you think and feel.

Talking it out can help!

It was also a time I realized the importance of reflection and gratitude in my personal life.

At that stage in my life I lived pretty fast paced. I was always on the go, looking ahead for the next thing to be involved in. That wasn’t a bad thing, but I realize I didn’t often slow down to reflect.
