You’re allowed (and encouraged!) to feel damn good about yourself🔥 ⁣ Confidence is something we all want + deserve, but once we get it, people start seeing us differently.⁣ ⁣ It’s like the world tells us, “Love yourself, just not TOO much. Be confident, but don’t make others feel small.”⁣ ⁣ And here’s the truth, no bullshit.⁣ ⁣ Your confidence + love for yourself, can’t make others feel small. There’s no such thing as loving yourself “too much.”⁣ 🙅🏼‍♀️ ⁣ You are not responsible for someone else’s feelings toward you. Quite honestly, it’s not even your business.⁣ ⁣ You can only love others as much as you love YOURSELF. And if we want the world to be a happier, more caring place, we need to love LARGE.⁣ ⁣ We need to feel passionately obsessed with our lives, our hearts, our gifts, our talents, and our joys.⁣ ⁣ We need to learn to look in the mirror + say “Damn, you’re pretty awesome. I love you + I appreciate you.”⁣ ⁣ And we need to encourage others to do the same without placing limits on what we’re comfortable with.⁣ ⁣ Today, I encourage you to show yourself some real love. Amp yourself up. Exude confidence. Compliment your power + talents + yes, even your body.⁣ ⁣ Take up all the space. Think all the positive, truths. Speak confidently and ex-out all the negative BS the world has tricked you into believing. ⁣ ⁣ When you allow yourself to feel ridiculously good about YOU, the rest of your life starts to shift. ⁣ ⁣ You begin to change perspective. You gravitate toward what’s meant for you. You attract abundance. You grow + glow + elevate.⁣ ⁣ Feeling even more empowered? Take it one step further + spread the love. Comment positive truths on the next selfie you see. Hit “like” instead of thinking “ok attention seeker” next time you scroll past a gym pic. Compliment that stranger who’s rocking a stellar outfit.⁣ ⁣ Give people the power + courage to own their own space + you’ll begin to step into your own.⁣ ⁣ Shine on babes ✨⁣ ⁣ #joy #empowerment #soul #love #bodyconfidence #confidence #elevate #motivation #growth #phoenix #arizona

If you feel like you’re drowning, always overwhelmed, or completely lost—read this. ⁣ ⁣ First off, I hear you + I see you. I’ve been in your shoes, trying to keep my head above water without the slightest idea of where the heck I’m headed. Grabbing onto anything that feels like it might help me figure my shit out. Listening to all the voices. Trying all the things. ⁣ ⁣ Utterly overwhelmed + honestly ready to say “F*ck it I’m never leaving the house again, this is my life now.” ⁣ ⁣ What you’re feeling right now is what I like to call: SELF-SABOTAGE DUE TO OVERWHELM. ⁣ ⁣ You’re not seeking something better—you’re seeking anything that feels like purpose. ⁣ ⁣ You’re not seeking fulfillment—you’re seeking something to take up your time. ⁣ ⁣ You’re not seeking enlightenment—you’re seeking a lifeboat to keep you afloat. ⁣ ⁣ What you’re actually after is CLARITY. ⁣ ⁣ The calm that comes with knowing who you are, what you have to offer, and where you’re going next. You’re seeking to take up space in a way that feels YOU. You’re dying for permission to fill your own cup and overflow into the cups of others. ⁣ ⁣ And I’m here to say: DO THE DAMN THANG. ⁣ ⁣ This is your permission. This is your empowerment. ⁣ ⁣ It’s time to elevate, but first, it’s time to find clarity. Not sure how? Start with answering these 3 questions:⁣ ⁣ 1.What’s ACTUALLY overwhelming your right now and would solving it genuinely bring you comfort + calm? ⁣ 2.Where do you find the most joy + how can you infuse more of that into your everyday life?⁣ 3.What absolutely needs to be done today in order for you to shut your brain off before bed tonight? ⁣ ⁣ Looking for even more? Let’s chat. I’d love to help you digest your mess + feel empowered to take your next step. And no, I’m not selling you anything—I really just want to chat (and probably drink coffee while we’re at it)⁣ ⁣ #selfworth #joy #empowerment #clarity #lifecoach #soulgrowth #emotionalhealth #overwhelm #holdingspace #seeker #wisdomwords #womenempowerment #womeninbiz #selfgrowth #consciousness

Double tap if you’re not the same person you were last year. ⁣✨ ⁣ Hopefully you all double tapped, or at least said “heck no” in your heads. Because here’s the deal: if you’re focused on elevating + stepping into your best self, you’ll experience constant change + growth. ⁣ ⁣ But guess what? So will the people around you, and you’ll have to learn to not only be OK with that, but recognize + respect it. ⁣ ⁣ Everyone’s changing. Your bestie isn’t the same girl you knew 3 months ago. Your dad isn’t the same man you lived with growing up. Your boss isn’t the same woman who initially hired you. ⁣ ⁣ Stop treating them like they are. Stop acting like you know someone just because history says you do. Put the effort in to re-meet the people in your life + give them permission to own their space. ⁣ ⁣ How can you do that? Start by having tough conversations and asking brave questions. Questions like:⁣ ⁣ •What’s a misconception I, and others, have about you?⁣ •What’s the biggest struggle you’re facing today?⁣ •How would you like me to change how I interact with you?⁣ •Is there anything I do or say that makes you uncomfortable?⁣ •What’s a change you’re super proud of recently? ⁣ ⁣ Then listen. And act. And allow your perspective to shift in an authentic, intentional way. ⁣ ⁣ No matter what you THINK you know about someone, it might no longer be true. People who knew me in college, don’t know the woman I am today. A client I worked with last year, didn’t work with the same CEO I am today. Men I dated in the past DEFINITELY didn’t date the same woman I am right now. ⁣ ⁣ And if I can make those changes, so can the people around me. Today, I encourage you to open your mind + ears and re-meet someone you “know.” You just might be surprised.

Swept off my feet today & everyday

There’s room for all of us to grow + glow ✨🙌🏼⁣ ⁣ When one of us elevates, we all elevate. Thanks for taking me on your journey + constantly sharing your joy + motivation. Thank you for never comparing or tearing me down. You’re an absolute queen and I’m crazy lucky to call you BFF + business partner. Can’t wait to continue climbing with you.⁣ ⁣ And if you’re in the market for an attorney or business lawyer, this is the woman you want on your side 👭⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #womenempowerment #girlboss #blogger #livethelittlethings #bossbabeco #thegramgang #womeninbusiness #womenwhohustle #womeninbiz #bossbabes #creativityfound #contentcreator #femtrepreneur #phoenix #arizonawriter #arizona #femalerevolution #workfromhome #businesscoach #elevate #instatips

If there’s one thing I’m ready to completely disappear off the face of the earth, it’s this ⬇️⁣👏🏼 ⁣ Stepping outside and immediately evaluating whether my outfit will “attract attention.”⁣ ⁣ Feeling uncomfortable, scared, or on egg shells the instant I’m not within my own 4 walls.⁣ ⁣ Needing a man to come with me if I: go somewhere at night or have a long walk ahead.⁣ ⁣ Choosing which side of the street I walk on based on the number of men up ahead.⁣ ⁣ Walking with my head down and eyes averted because I’m hoping to blend in.⁣ ⁣ Constantly resisting the urge to yell profanities at every man who whistles, screams, or hollers at me.⁣ ⁣ Cat calling is NOT complimenting. Whistling is NOT cute. I am NOT your “baby” or “sweetie” or “damnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!” ⁣ ⁣ I am a living, breathing human being. Treat me, and every other person, as such. ⁣PLEASE. ⁣ I’m sick of the questions like: “what we’re you wearing though?” Because I’ve been cat called in this outfit, and the next (swipe ➡️) ⁣ ⁣ A better question would be: “where were you on the day they taught respect? Apparently not in class.”⁣ ⁣ Keep your comments and your hands to yourself. If you feel the need to yell at a group of women, don’t. If you’re thinking about slowing your car down to whistle and stare at my ass, think again—keep moving.⁣ ⁣ It is NOT a female’s job to avoid these situations or choose a better outfit or silently walk by and ignore them. NO.⁣ ⁣ It is everyone’s job to maintain a level of respect and kindness you’d reserve for your most loved grandmother on CHRISTMAS FREAKING MORNING. If you wouldn’t say it to granny, don’t come saying it to me.⁣ ⁣ #catcalling #respect #leave #us #alone #empowerment #safety #womensrights
