My Story

 

I've battled all my life with low self-esteem and low self-confidence. If you could only hear how I used to beat myself up with my demeaning self-talk!

​

I read a book in my twenties by Dr. David Burns called Feeling Good, The New Mood Therapy. That book helped me analyze and challenge my self-talk.

​

Since then, I've read numerous books that have helped me along the way.

 

Wanting to grow, learn, and improve is as much a part of me as my brown eyes!

​

Before my wedding, I worked with a wonderful therapist who taught me (among many things) to never hit myself with anything harder than a feather. Isn't that a great visual?

​

But It wasn't until my son was born that I really began to understand that I was missing a critical piece of the puzzle.

 

A positive growth mindset.

 

I couldn't teach my son Emotional Intelligence until I learned it myself. 

​

I goofed up a lot over the first several years of his life (and still do on a regular basis).

 

Parenting is hard work but I don't regret a moment of it. My son has helped me grow in a way NO ONE else could.

​

I took myself as far as I could emotionally through books, courses, and research. But I hit a wall. I was stuck.

 

During the pandemic, I worked with another wonderful therapist. She pulled my curtain back and helped me go deeper into my inner self. Behind that curtain, I saw a frightened, neglected child, sitting in the dark.

 

That's when I understood the implications and consequences of not loving myself.

​

Each day, I'm letting a little more light shine in, so my inner child can come out, learn to play, and trust again.

​

The goal is to be a little less tense, to laugh at myself, and have a little fun along the way.

​

I'm a work in progress. Aren't we all?

​

I'm here to tell you that you CAN HEAL your inner self. It takes work, it's scary,  but the rewards are worth it.

​

God has gifted us truth, beauty, and hope. But best of all, each other.
