By constantly putting pressure on ourselves we create this space where we lose all our power.
Things that work for us may not work for us in every season of our lives and it’s important for us to recognize and be willing to shift our approach to honor these changes.
We need to be realistic. We need to recognize our patterns. We need to be more a...

If you don't deal with it now… rest assured that you will have to at SOME point.
