Part 1 of a 4 part series about self-worth. This video is all about self-compassion. What is it, what it is not, how it is beneficial, and how to use it in your life. I also provide a lot of resources for you to learn more about self-compassion.
In this video, I explain, in my own words, all about the arousal continuum and the different states we are all in 24 hours a day. This is a concept by Dr. Bruce Perry and something I share with every single one of my clients. It is so important to work with the brain and understand why we might act the way we do at any given time.

This video was inspired by watching an Instagram live with @jinahie and @noor. In this video you will learn how to quiet down your inner critic with 3 simple steps. Your inner critic is that voice that is mean and cruel and shows up a lot when you are wanting to do something different or new.
Do you know someone who has been assaulted? Are you struggling with what to say and how to respond? It can be hard to know what to say or do in these situations. I discuss in this video some helpful things to say but also focus on what NOT to say and why.

A lot of times we receive messages growing up about how family is everything, blood is thicker than water, we stick with family no matter what, and I could go on. The fact of the matter is just because someone is family doesn't mean they can treat us badly. There shouldn't be a free pass for family.
