Welcome to this space, where we explore self-love as the foundation for living a truly full life, not a perfect life, but a full one. We'll go deep into the mindset shifts, the heart shifts, the messy middle, and the beautiful breakthroughs that happen when you finally decide to put yourself first. I share my personal Comfort Zone Challenge, the real, unfiltered stories of me attempting things I've always told myself I'm just "not good at." Spoiler: it doesn't always go smoothly. But that's kind of the point. And I connect with incredible women who have helped me chart my own self-love adventure. Sharing their wisdom, their stories, and their honesty will leave you feeling seen. So take a breath, settle in, and let's get to charting self love.

    Back To The Grind...But Grounded (Series Episode 1)

    About This Episode This is the first episode in the Back To The Grind…But Grounded series. THere will be four episodes where we explore getting back to the grind - that post-summer Autumn vibes time where life gets super busy but you don’t get thrown about by it. Instead, we’re heading into this season in alignment with the way we want to feel and show up in life.   Episode Highlights Exploring my ancestral rituals - and why did I keep using “indigenous”...I mean maybe but ancestral feels like it fits better. Reconnecting with my culture after growing up in a religious American family Clearing Energy - that’s your self-love tool Resources  I found some interesting history on Irish cultural practices here https://the-wild-soul-tribe.com/role-of-water-irish-rituals-sacred-wells-healing-waters/ Check out self-love tools over on Instagram with @lovethosevibesbox Sneak Peek Emails - https://canva.link/jointheadventure - drop your email and get on the list.. A Note from Grace Most of my family traditions were built around the church so creating new traditions for my children, with my husband, was important to me. Without even realizing, I have been creating something even bigger than tradition - a space where they can be themselves and love themselves just as they are. That is why I have been learning about my ancestral practices and giving my kids our own rituals to build traditions that will not only give them beautiful memories but will help them walk their path with love, grounding and confidence. I invite you to do the same ⚠️ Disclaimer: I'm not a therapist, coach, or mental health professional. I’m just a woman who's done a lot of inner work and wants to share what's helped me.

    You Didn't Miss A Beat

    About This Episode In this episode I chat with Alana Melene Williamson, Author, Artist and Educator and if you can believe it this mama is so much more than that! Alana Melene Williamson is a writer, educator, and former professional dancer whose 20-year career in movement shaped her deep understanding of embodiment, expression, and presence. Her work has extended across performance, choreography, teaching, and entrepreneurial spaces, all rooted in a lifelong devotion to creativity and human expression. She now lives in the mountains with her husband and two sons, where she is devoted to motherhood, writing, and a continually unfolding faith journey. As a first-time author of 1000 Iterations of Self, she explores identity, transition, and the quiet becoming that unfolds when one season closes and another begins. Her words are shaped by lived experience—years in the discipline of dance, seasons of rebuilding, and a faith that has become the grounding force of her life. Through her writing and teaching, she invites others into deeper honesty with themselves and a living encounter with God.    Episode Highlights Alana’s role in my shift from self-love journey self-love adventure Alana’s deep love for dance from childhood  How dance can feel like a love hate relationship with your body When you are ready for something it will come to you…you are not too late Forgiveness can come in waves Birthing the stories we share Resources  How to connect with Alana - https://linktr.ee/alanawilliamson Check out self-love tools over on Instagram with @lovethosevibesbox Sneak Peek Emails - https://canva.link/lovethosevibes tap the community note and drop your first name and email address in the form to get a heads up on new episodes and a tool that goes with these weekly episodes. A Note from Grace I truly believe that the people who are meant to share our path will come when they are meant to arrive. For me, Alana was one of those people. I had no idea how ready I was for healing and growth until she invited me to step into both. ⚠️ Disclaimer: I'm not a therapist, coach, or mental health professional.

    About This Episode Let's have some real talk about nurturing. In this episode I share how I realized, in real time, how much I needed the nurturing I've been doing.

She brings a creative, honest voice to conversations about resilience, recovery, and finding beauty after breaking. Jen believes resilience isn’t about bouncing back. It’s about learning to move forward with what’s left. I want to share now that there is some conversation around Jen’s mental health and a time when she contemplated ending her life.  Episode Highlights [06:44] Jen’s personal reflections on mental health and overcoming a period of suicidal crisis (contains discussion of suicidal ideation).
