Bio

I have lived through a lot of difficult times and still do not have all the answers, but I made it through.  I'm a mother to two young adults and a teacher.  I've been through divorce, loss, grief, anxiety, financial distress, and depression.  I have seen loved ones through addiction and have had to walk away from emotional abuse.  I am in a season now where I feel grounded and able to hold space for others.

...See more When we allow ourselves to trust, it makes sense that we are allowing ourselves to be at least a little vulnerable on some level.  We "give" trust and sometimes, for me,  this has meant committing to a certain expectation.  But something shifted about my definition of trust expanded after studying the section of the course focused on Collaborating/Social Skills.  I'd not previously recognize how trust actually empowers us to build more in community with others.  Not trusting can lead us to refuse bigger opportunities to participate in positive change. How have you grown stronger by leaning on another person (or people)?
The things you tell yourself

...See more I've been thinking about how we practice self-acceptance and compassion in order to allow ourselves to remain fully present and engaged.  Lately, I've observed that I could use a little tuneup when it comes to practicing compassion toward myself. I've even scheduled times at the beginning and end of each day for some affirmations.  I know in the past, some affirmations don't quite feel authentic for me.  I've learned that when I craft or edit affirmations to speak with extra context, they feel more true for me. For example, when I am feeling ineffective at my job and lacking confidence, instead of simply, "I am worthy of being confident," I might tell myself, "I have the training, compassion, and experience to make a positive difference in the lives of others."   What affirmations have you written for yourself that have been powerful in allowing you to feel safe in your vulnerability.
