Growth is not a straightforward progress.

Growth is a choice...

... a journey

... an evolution

... a habit

... a mindset

As part of Happy YOU Year, I spent the week on Instagram highlighting how the Illumination Kit can help you with that. Let’s walk through an element in each of the guides and use it to grow your glow this week!

Happy YOU Year!

As the day after Mother’s Day, it’s perfect timing to celebrate the start of something new, the Happy You Year!

I have been taking my Mindset Monday advice to heart this week and really being open to trying new things... like scary open. I'm so proud of myself for not letting it keep me from saying yes.

When’s the last time you tried something new?

Does your life feel boring? Like a lot of the same old, same old, struggling through pandemic life and wishing for things to return to ‘normal’? I’m guessing that ‘normal’ life wasn’t actually all that exciting, it was comfortable. And that’s okay. We need that bit of known security.

But maybe you’re craving a bit more of an amazing, fulfilling life.

You have an amazing talent to somehow get everything done that needs done. You pull off miracles everyday with ease that others would struggle with. And you make sh*t happen even when it doesn't feel easy. But we can all use a few tips to help make getting it all done with more alignment so you can thrive.

Each day has its own set of struggles and yet we figure out how to get sh*t done every day.

Some days our capacity and skill set align and others it feels like a dumpster fire. This week has started off with a stuck sort of feeling and not a lot of enthusiasm for doing the things. But I show up, and things get done.

Come home to yourself.

Sometimes starting something completely new feels like a lot, too much to add to our plate when we already feel like we aren’t managing our chaos well.

Everyone loves magic. We all wait for a moment to suspend belief and just be amazed by the magic. But magic doesn’t just show up at magic shows or with special effects. It shows up every time you begin.

This week we are focusing on reframing our stories and giving new life, new perspective to the things we believe and tell ourselves. It’s like changing up the recipe of your life, just a little tweak can take it a whole new direction. Are you ready to try a new recipe for your life?

Where were you when the world stopped last year? Could you have imagined the year we’ve been through?

We all have our stories that we’ll retell years in the future from this time. But that’s the thing, what will you be saying when you retell these stories?

These past two weeks spring is in the air and it feels like a great time to let our inner light shine. You are your longest companion, yet we don’t fully know what makes us light up. How often do you take a look within yourself, open yourself up to moments of enlightenment, facing potentially difficult realizations and feelings? Knowing yourself better, taking action toward your goals, your passions, showing up for yourself every day is how you grow your glow.
