It's easy to fall into the trap of thinking the worst when things go awry.
But here's the truth: most people aren't plotting to upset us.
They're simply navigating life and doing their best - just like we are.
So, instead of assuming the worst, let's try on some generous assumptions this week. 🌟
Maybe they had a rough day, or maybe there's more to the story than meets the eye.
When we give others the benefit of the doubt, we open the door to understanding and empathy. 🕊️
So next time, before jumping to conclusions, let's ask ourselves: What's the generous assumption here? Can we extend grace their way?
This simple act could transform how we approach conflicts and deepen our connections. 💕
It’s inevitable: at some point you’re going to walk away from a situation wishing you’d said or done something differently.

Your values should reflect who YOU are, not who others want you to be. It's time to reclaim your power and define what truly matters to you. 💪✨
Start by taking a moment to narrow down your top values and ask yourself: do these resonate with ME, or are they someone else's? Let's prioritize authenticity over expectation.
Remove the values that you feel are expected and keep only the ones that feel true to you.
Finally, ask yourself how you do or can live out these values, and prioritize those in your day-to-day choices.
Keeping your values top-of-mind throughout the day will help you make decisions that feel more aligned with your needs. ❣️

Ever found yourself snapping at loved ones out of the blue? 🙋♀️ It happens to the best of us (myself included).
Yep. You read that right. Even psychologists have their moments.
I also just had a heart-to-heart with a client who had a similar moment, and let me tell you, it was a wake-up call.
Turns out, pushing ourselves too hard can lead to unexpected outbursts, even if we’re known for our sense of calm.
Taking a step back to prioritize self-care isn't just important—it's essential.

Ever find yourself overwhelmed, wondering why anger or resentment seems to suddenly bubble up out of nowhere? 🤔 You’re not alone.
Turns out, burnout can cause red-hot frustration in even the calmest of people.
In my sessions with clients, we often unravel the layers of feeling stretched too thin, realizing it's often rooted in trying to meet impossible standards and chasing perfection.
Today, I faced my own battle with perfectionism, considering skipping a podcast altogether. But you know what? 'done' beats 'perfect' any day.
Imperfect as it may be, this episode is about showing up, sharing, and connecting. Because sometimes, the messy truths resonate the most. (Plus, I knew you’d understand.)
