New Year, Here I Come... As the end of the year approaches, it’s natural to start thinking about what’s next. But let’s be honest—how many times have you set big goals for the new year only to feel stuck, frustrated, or like you’re spinning your wheels a few months in?

If you’re anything like the countless people I’ve worked with, you’re probably tired of feeling like you’re on a hamster wheel—repeating the same patterns in your relationships, career, health, or even your self-worth.

It’s exhausting. It’s demoralizing. And sometimes, it feels impossible to change.

I’ve been there too…

I remember sitting at my kitchen table one cold December evening a few years ago, staring at a blank journal page. The same journal I’d optimistically bought the previous January, thinking, This is the year everything changes.

And yet, there I was again—same frustrations, same goals I hadn’t quite reached, and the same nagging feeling that maybe I was the problem. Maybe I just wasn’t trying hard enou...

Has anyone ever told you to “just be yourself?” Have you ever really questioned what that really means? What does that look and feel like?

 The reason this may feel foreign to you is like many of us, we grew up with an inflicted idea of how our life should be and how it should turn out. From a young age we were told what the requirements are for the perfect life, such as going to school, getting an education, finding a full-time job, making money, find a significant other, get married, have kids and a perfect family.

We try to “keep up with the joneses” by working harder to gain more tangible items, see our family less and at the end of the day we’re too tired to invest in the important relationships around us, especially with ourselv...

Wow, can you believe that it’s already 2020??? Last year flew by so quickly for me. And I bet it did for you too. 

However, the beginning of a new year always reminds me to reflect on old goals and make new ones. What about you? What seeds of intention will you plant for the forthcoming year so you can embrace 2020 and all the opportunity it holds? 

To be clear, I’m not talking about “classic” New Year’s resolutions here. I’m talking about what your deepest and most heartfelt desires are. What are your dreams and visions? What changes are you thinking about making in your relationships, your health, your finances, your career, your lifestyle, or your spirituality? 

The intentions you hold and the foundations you build NOW will set the tone for the journey ahead and will control the flow of energy in your life over the next few years. 

Whatever you can dream, you can create! Your future begins now!
