Mental health is a topic that is becoming more widely discussed and accepted, but there is still a long way to go in breaking down the stigmas and barriers that surround it. 

Mental health can be sticky, uncomfortable, and challenging to discuss, but it's essential to address these issues to create a world that supports and empowers those struggling with mental health.

The world is chaotic, and there is so much going around in the physical world that can make it a scary place to be, triggering anxiety, worry, fear, and depression. It's important to have conversations about how you can maintain your mental health while in crisis or experiencing trauma.

It's imperative to remember that we have to give ourselves grace, especially when we live in a world where we don't always have security, nor do we have the answers. We must prioritize ourselves and put our mental health at the forefront. 

As a mother and female, the world conditioned me to believe that putting myself first...

Abundance is a state of mind, a feeling of fullness and contentment that goes beyond material possessions. This mindset attracts positivity, success, and prosperity into your life. Embodying abundance means living with a deep sense of gratitude and appreciation for what you have while also recognizing and desiring the potential for more.

To cultivate abundance, you have to embody abundance. But how? Here are a few things I've learned on my journey to abundance and seeking a life of alignment. 

Cultivate a mindset of abundance

The first step towards embodying abundance is to cultivate a mindset of abundance. This means shifting your focus from scarcity and lack to abundance and plenty. Practice gratitude by acknowledging and appreciating the abundance already in your life. This could be as simple as being grateful for the food on your table, the roof over your head, or the people in your life. By focusing on the already present abundance, you create a positive mindset that...

A vision board is a tool used to help manifest your goals and dreams. It is a physical representation of what someone wants to achieve in life and can be used as a reminder of their intentions. It typically consists of images and words placed on a board or poster, which can be customized to reflect desires. 

Vision boards can be crafted with a bulletin board with words, phrases, and pictures that guide you to what you want to create. Preparing your vision board is a fun experience that allows you to set your intentions. But, to set your intentions, it's essential to meditate and journal before choosing what you want to add to your vision board. 

Vision boards can be used to help focus on a particular goal, stay motivated, and remind oneself of what they want to achieve. They can also be used to create a positive mindset and to help visualize the future. A vision board is a consistent reminder to stay motivated to create a life we aspire to have.

As you craft your vision...

There are countless benefits to using meditation daily, but for many, beginning this ritual can be challenging. This is why many people turn to guided meditation. Guided meditation is when the meditation is being led by someone else, and this is often done by using mental imagery and breathing exercises to help your body relax as you are guided through your meditation. 

Meditation has enormous benefits to our physical, mental, and emotional health and plays a significant role in helping us gain clarity and decrease stress. It is an incredible experience that changes us, provides clarity, and strengthens our ability for self-connection. 

However, It’s not uncommon when beginning meditation to find it challenging to focus or let your mind wander, which is why using guided meditation is effective for many. Guided meditation can be done through subscriptions and guided meditation apps, or I encourage you to try my guided meditation album.

Journaling is an incredible tool that is powerful and essential for spiritual growth. Journaling has continued to be a part of my daily practice, it’s how I connect with myself, but it’s how I obtain clarity and gain a deeper connection to spirit. 

Journaling is an impactful tool and one of the most impactful ways to create soul expansion, And the best part is it’s simple. But, for some reason, many people are hesitant about implementing journaling into their everyday routine. I want to share a few tips that have helped me on a journey with journaling. 

Most importantly, relax.

There are no steadfast rules with journaling, and no one is standing over your shoulder and double-checking your work. Journaling is for you. It can be challenging to begin the journal writing process, so I highly recommend you find a peaceful place where you can truly utilize your time to write.

Create the Intention

For many, this can be the part where they get stuck. You have to...

“Stay in your lane”, I’m sure you’ve heard the phrase once or twice. Essentially, it means to stick with what you know and mind your own business in the friendliest terms. In today’s world, we are constantly exposed to others’ lives through social media. It’s powerful. It becomes easy to compare your actions to their lives and accomplishments. Instead of celebrating them, we envy them. When you become mindful about staying in your lane, you create the power to avoid negative self-talk, avoid comparison, and, most importantly, eliminate judgment of others. Here are three ways you can channel your energy to stay in your lane. 

Uncover Your Triggers

Uncovering your triggers is one of the most prominent ways to figure out how to stay in your lane. If you are constantly scrolling social media, wondering why you don’t drive that car or have that house, then, of course, you will become wrapped up in envy and self-pity. If you know there...

Meditation and breath-work are common practices used to gain inner peace, reduce stress, and have prolonged benefits on both physical and mental health. They both have tremendous benefits, but how do they differ, and should we choose one over the other? 

Meditation plays a significant role in our bodies’ overall physical, mental, and emotional state. It’s been practiced for decades by numerous cultures in various capacities. Meditation is about seeking silence, a way to shut off the outside world and become completely focused. Meditation can be done with soft music, or it can be guided, and while breathing plays a role in meditation, you’re just observing it and taking breaths rather than the main focus of the exercise. 

Breath-work refers to breathing techniques and exercises to control your breathing. It directs your breathing in a specific way. A certified breath coach typically guides breath-work as they help you focus and change your breathing...

When life isn’t going how we intended, we want to take control and shift. It’s when we are uncomfortable that we seek alignment. Nobody likes to feel uncomfortable, and when these feelings begin to settle in, you’ll search for anything to relinquish them. Instead of control, I challenge you to seek alignment.

Alignment is about moving forward, accepting that you do not control life, and instead finding peace in where you are. Alignment allows you to feel who you are. Our society has taught us that we can compartmentalize our lives. The truth is, it’s merely impossible. When you struggle in your relationship, unhappiness and discomfort trickle into all other aspects of life. Discomfort has a powerful way of flowing into other areas of life. But how can we gain alignment in our lives? 

Listen

Alignment requires you to listen merely to yourself. Sit in your energy and listen. Ask yourself a few questions.

• Is this giving me energy or depleting it? 
• ...

Expectations are the beliefs you hold about an outcome you think will happen. When situations don’t come to fruition, we expect disappointment and discontentment to come to the service. When reality doesn’t match what we had hoped, we often find ourselves in a state of sadness and questioning, which places us in a lower vibration. 

Disappointment is a form of heavy grief, and it can leave us feeling paralyzed and questioning our abilities and direction, and ultimately unable to move forward. How do we relinquish expectations, so we no longer sit in disappointment? 

Begin by looking at the expectation as a whole. When we think about expectations, we tell ourselves, “because I did this, this will happen.” We are giving expectations the ultimate control. 

To begin to let go of perceived expectations, you must place yourself in a state of gratitude. When your expectations outweigh your ability to see reality, you lack appreciation. When you sit...
