‘Tis the season for that week in between Christmas and New Year’s where time seems non-existent, and everyone is scraping by. Instead of letting this crazy week dictate my mood, I decided to take some time to reflect on 2022 and how I’d like to show up for 2023. After inventorying my year, I recognized that I’ve come to a place in my life where I’m able to hold space for others- something I haven’t always been capable of, but something that I have received from people when I was in need. What does holding space mean and why am I proud to be able to provide it for my “circle”? Let’s talk about it.
 
In this episode I discuss:
What it means to hold space for others;
Having the capacity to hold space for others;
How people close to me helped me during tragic times;
The simple act of being present with another person;
Connection through contact;
Listening without judgment or an agenda;
The challenges of creating space for people;
Meeting someone where they’re at;
Realizing you can’t fix or change someone’s problems;
How I’m able to show up for others by practicing self-care (super important)
 
As I said, I haven’t always been able to connect with my friends and family in this way. But now that I’m more confident in myself and my capabilities, I can clear space from my needs and pour that space back into my loved ones in need. I find that my capacity to hold space for others increases as I care for myself. In 2023, I expect that space to grow.
So, here’s to 2023, a year of peace and prosperity and enough space for those that need it.
 
Key Takeaways to Simplify Your Life:
Don’t set a New Year’s Resolution
Go into 2023 with a mindset of peace and prosperity
Clear the clutter- get rid of three items in your house that you don’t need or use

The holiday season is upon us. It’s a time for laughter, love, and light- so why do we often make it about overindulging? In the past, I was part of the culture of excess around the holidays. I had the perfect decorations, the most aesthetic wrapping papers, and the cutest baked goods gifts for friends and neighbors. I dressed up, hosted parties, over consumed alcohol and food. From the outside, I did everything right. But in reality, I was overindulging in every aspect.
 
In this episode I discuss:
Overconsumption during the holidays;
Reflecting on past Christmases;
Why we feel the need to “keep up”;
Presenting a different version of myself to the world;
The chaos that ensues around the holidays;
How to enjoy holiday traditions without overindulging;
Recognizing that Christmas is about “who” and not “what”;
The mindset of setting resolutions for New Years
We’ve all heard it before, “Christmas is about spending time with loved ones” but are we really able to put that into practice when we have nine million other things to do? For me, simplifying my holidays means not sending Christmas cards, not baking trays of cookies for the entire neighborhood which allowed me to instead fill that time in the company of the people that mean the most to me.
Happy Holidays everyone!
 
Key Takeaways to Simplify Your Life:
Don’t stress yourself out doing things you don’t want to do
Eat a healthy meal prior to a holiday party so you won’t overindulge
Don’t wait until the New Year to set goals- start now!

Hi, y’all! I learned a lot by traveling for the past 7 months, but one of the most important things I learned that resonated deeply with me was that conformity kills confidence. When I first told people of my plans to travel, I was met with serious questions and a slew of doubts. Their skepticism made me uncertain of my decision, even though it was something that I really wanted to pursue.
So, I made the commitment to travel despite my hesitation and figured it out on the way. What I discovered was that my business skyrocketed, my creativity increased, and my ability to find joy made its way into every aspect of my life. From this adventure, I realized that I could handle anything that comes my way. If I had caved into the doubt of others, I would never have had these amazing experiences.
 
In this episode I discuss:
Four ways to find your own voice;
Creating your own rules;
Showing up with confidence and authority;
Finding inspiration from within;
Questioning my relationships with people to discover if I’m valued the way I value them;
The benefits of taking risks;
Pushing yourself out of your comfort zone;
Don’t be afraid to be the outlier;
Starting on a venture before you have all the answers;
Embracing failure
 
My life has done a complete 180 in the past year, and I know it’s because I listened to myself. I found ways to inspire myself, stepped out of my comfort zone, figured out a plan along the way, and learned to trust myself in a way that I hadn’t before. Now, I’m not afraid to take up space because I’ve found the unshakeable confidence to do so- you can too. Start now!
 
Key Takeaways to Simplify Your Life:
No is a complete sentence
Get out in nature
Take something off your to-do list
