Sometimes when things aren’t going well, we forget that this particular moment is just a chapter in the book of our lives. So, this is for anyone who struggles with being in the present moment. I’m sharing three of my favorite magical mantras that help me to stay grounded in and truly appreciate the present moment.

Comparison is something we all have to navigate in our daily lives and honestly, no one is immune to it. But, most of us haven’t been given the proper tools to truly work our way through these moments. Tune in to learn my 5-step framework to stop comparing yourself to others (even former versions of yourself).

On the self growth & healing journey, it can be really easy to get swept up in how things are “supposed” to be, but the truth is this is YOUR journey, love, and no one knows better than you. Let’s dive deep into 6 common myths about what your self growth journey is supposed to look like, feel like, and what the end result of this “work” is supposed to be.

We all carry stories about ourselves that, after so much time, have become our truths. And when you embark on your journey of self growth, you realize you’re still holding onto some of those very comfortable, but very limiting beliefs.

When we go after a new dream, we head towards a place that makes us pretty uncomfortable — the unknown.

In the final episode of our Courageous Conversations series, I’m sharing my personal story of courage with you. It’s the story of little Shirin, what she believed growing up, what “plans” she had in place, and what choices, changes, and decisions led to the shift that created my coaching business and my dream life.

There are hundreds of dreams within each of us to explore. We can also get locked into a dream just because it’s doing so well or because we’re so good at it. But, love, dreams evolve just as you do and you can even grow out of dreams. It doesn’t mean the dream was wrong, that it was a waste of time, or that you’re wishy-washy. It just means it’s time to release it and allow another dream to take root and grow.

Often with our dreams, our timelines can keep getting pushed back. When the things we really want get delayed, it may feel harder to keep your eyes on your dream. That’s what’s so powerful about April Kayganich’s story: she always knew there would be pivots and shifts in the journey, but that she would one day reach her dream. Her story is one of patience and resilience and doing the damn thing in a way that feels best for you.

In this week’s Courageous Conversation, I’m interviewing my bestie - Chrissy King - who fully embodies what it means to stop shrinking yourself and to start taking up space. Before graduating college, Chrissy had a full-time job offer and was engaged to be married. She was basically “set for life.” But, she eventually realized that “the plan” she’d so proudly achieved was no longer the dream she had for her life.

Deciding not to do something isn’t a failure. It’s not a mistake and there’s a strong chance that what it really means is you know yourself so well that deep down you truly know what’s best for you.
