Summary

Grab a tea, get cozy, because we are getting deep in reflections about what this month and Season 2 has taught me. This month taught me a lot about myself. I learned I need boundaries in my life and have to honor them in order to be my happiest, healthiest self. I learned to have confidence in my ideas and actions and know that I have what it takes to bring them to life. I learned that burn out is a thing, and to connect back with myself to understand why I feel the need to achieve a laundry list of accomplishments before 30. I learned (or rather reminded myself) that though social media is my outlet and happy place, it can also be a dangerous, sinking world that encourages a competitive nature in myself that invites unhealthy habits. I learned that I need alone time; being by myself with my own thoughts and company is recharging and quite frankly something I really enjoy. I am my own bestie and I’m proud of that! If being alone is difficult for you, I want you to dig deep and understand why and make it a goal of yours to do 1 thing alone this week. And no, commuting to your job alone doesn’t count. Go to the museum, see a movie, take yourself out to eat; Do something you’ve been wanting to do. I learned acupuncture really will release stress and anxiety in a way that is unmatched, but for long term results, you have to do the mental, physical, and emotional work to really show up for yourself. I learned being a boss is no easy feat, and a journey I’m only beginning. I learned that making mistakes is a positive thing; it's a hands on way to learn and do better in the future. Basically what I’m trying to say as we end Season 2 is thank you. Thank you for being on this journey and giving me a reason to show up weekly to not only create episodes, but reflect on my elevation journey and growth as a woman. Growing and learning about yourself is typically a private matter that most people don’t do with the eyes of the internet staring at them, but knowing I have to report back to you all has forced me to be brave, bold, and put my money where my mouth is. Because of you guys, I'm changing... evolving even. I’m embracing fear, going after what my higher self wants, and really striving to be the version of myself I tell you all to be. Growing is no easy feat, but as I experience the benefits of honoring my boundaries, being clear on what I want, and showing up for myself, the benefits are so worth it. So if you’re going through a tough time, know whole heartedly that it gets better. The Universe will reward you. So thank you thank you thank you for being on this journey with me. You showing up and listening is healing me more than you’ll ever know. I’m so excited for Season 3. A new chapter. A new era. A new journey has begun… and I can’t wait for you to experience it with me!
