I've done some version of my #mayconfidencebloom self-discovery series for the last few years. One year it was a photo posting challenge. Another year it was a Facebook group journal challenge. I always let my intuition lead the way with how I want to experience a time to renew and reflect on self-image, self-assuredness, self-presentation and self-love. Inevitability is suitable for the women...

We all need a reset button - for confidence, in our closets, and sometimes for both at the same time.

How do you do it? Are you intentional about it?

If you've been with me for any time, you’ll know I hit my own reset button a few times a year in a few different ways. At these times of celebration and reflection, I sit back in a quiet moment and marvel at what power...

Confidence For Your Evolved Normal

change+transition joinme mayconfidencebloom May 01, 2021

So this last year and a bit has been exhausting. I'm sure you've heard it being called the "new normal," but I actually call it the "evolved normal."

Seeing the way we've had to shift perspective to see what is truly important to us, how we want to make our mark and our urgency to live authentically is "the growth" of this time. The thing about growth is you can't un-grow. A flower can go back...

Show Up Confident For Your Community

Who likes to give? And how about giving things that are going to help your community 'be well'?

As a long-time mentor, I've always gotten questions about deciding the best way to "give back" that feels authentic and true to oneself.

I always give the same answer. Connect the giving to your values. In my book, 𝙎𝙝𝙤𝙬 𝙐𝙥 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙛𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙣𝙩, I share how to start tapping into your values. They will lead...

It's a sacred time for me - the journal swap day. It's the time when one finished, and another begins.

Mike Posner's song "Move On," said it best, I think:

"Beginnings always hide themselves in ends."

Positive shifts in any part of your confidence come as a beginning from an end. The value in the change - the joy or pain in it - rests in perspective you create around it.

#Glowvember Instagram Challenge

In my past lives, I sacrificed fun for work - it’s still a battle sometimes, if I'm honest with myself, as a self-proclaimed “Type-A in Recovery” so I thought it'd be fun to spark some fun with what I do and to invite you guys to come along with me in November with an Instagram #photochallenge!

The theme is #Glowvember and is a chance to discover (or rediscover)...
