Fresh ideas to feed your mind, body and soul.
“Mindfulness is a conscious choice made every day to practice self-awareness, curiosity, compassion for self & others, so that you can witness thoughts, emotions, body sensations, and the surrounding environment objectively – through the lens of love.”
— Angie Reens
Moving Through the Muck: Finding Connection Through Vulnerability
One thing I’ve learned is that connection—to ourselves and others—is the antidote to isolation. If you’re struggling, reach out to a friend, loved one, therapist, or coach. We all need support, and by showing up for each other, we create a world where mental health is prioritized, not ignored.
A dear friend once said, “We’re in this together.” Those words resonated deeply with me and brought a sense of calm. I hope they do the same for you.
What It’s REALLY Like to Work with a Coach (Hint: It’s Transformational!)
Coaching is a partnership—an invitation to reflect, grow, and evolve in ways that feel deeply authentic to you. Together, moving at your pace closing the gap from where you are now to where you desire to be - moving toward alignment, self-trust, and deeper fulfillment. I believe in the International Coaching Federation principal that we are all Whole, Capable, Creative & Resourceful beings - craving a nonjudgemental space to unpack thoughts, feelings and emotions that may be keeping you from moving forward.
I’d be honored to walk alongside you as you uncover your path to growth and self-acceptance.
Honoring Your Natural Pace
It’s easy to bypass or dismiss our needs when we’re in a hurry. But what I’ve realized is when I listen, when I honor my pace, I discover what I truly need. Some days that is slowness, softness, and stillness. Other days it’s focus, energy, and inspiration. Both are valid. There is no right or wrong—only what works for you.
Shift from “New Year, New You” to Celebrating the Real You in 2025
Instead of focusing on changing, fixing, or improving things you don’t like about yourself, what if we shifted the narrative? Instead of putting your attention on what needs to change, why not build on what’s already working, what you’re proud of, and what truly inspires you? Let’s focus on the things that bring you pure, unfiltered joy and fulfillment.
Grief is Not Linear, Nor is Our Human Experience – Cultivating Grace Through Grief
Grief is not linear. It’s a process to be honored, embraced, and felt deeply—just like every other part of our human experience. It’s yours to nurture. Allow it to unfold at its own pace. If you’re struggling, don’t hesitate to ask for help. You are not alone.
Grief can take many forms. Sometimes, it’s not just about the loss of someone we love, but also the grief of letting go of an old way of being, a season of life.
Whether you’re grieving a recent loss or something from the past, I want you to know: you’re not alone. You are seen. You are heard. Your grief is valid.
Comparison is the Thief of Joy — Here's How to Connect to the Peace Within Yourself
It’s easy to get stuck in a cycle of believing everyone else has it figured out, that everyone else is living a perfect life. Comparison is a trap that steals our joy, and when I’m not grounded within myself, I often look outside for validation. But here's the thing — comparison is the thief of joy. When we focus on what others have, we lose sight of the beauty and magic of what’s right in front of us.
The Power of the Space In-Between: Honor Where You Are
Have you ever felt like you’re standing between two worlds? One foot in the life you know, and the other reaching into the unknown, unsure of your next step? If this resonates with you, you’re not alone—I believe there’s power in this very space.
Gratitude Supports My Attitude
Today, when I asked the Universe for guidance, I was reminded of the simple yet transformative gift of gratitude.
Cultivating Happiness Within
You are deserving of happiness. My hope is that, through learning what truly makes you happy, you’ll feel a greater sense of purpose and meaning. When happiness comes from within, it means there is an ability to find pleasure through one’s own thoughts and actions rather than an outside source. The great news is happiness is a skill that can be learned, and happiness is contagious.
A Playful Mind is an Open Mind
It’s like watching unwatered, untended seeds no longer be in the shadow of weeds but bloom into the most beautiful wild and free garden I never imagined lived within me.
