Limiting beliefs are the blockages of our trauma and childhood. Usually formed from a young age, they can revolve around anything from financial to friendships. Oftentimes, these limiting beliefs are like a horse being tied up to a plastic chair. The horse could easily take off running, and the lightweight plastic lawn chair would drag behind or even break off.

I was really lost for a while. After my miscarriage, I struggled figuring out what the Lord wanted out of me. I cried so many days and nights feeling kike I was wandering through a mental wilderness maze that wouldn’t seem to end.

God is a God of Suddenly. Your entire life can change in just a few moments. What took decades in your mind, can turn into seconds in the Lord’s timing.

There was a season where I didn’t recognize myself anymore. On the outside, everything may have looked intact, but internally I felt disconnected—like pieces of me had been scattered across responsibilities, relationships, and expectations I was trying so hard to carry. I wasn’t necessarily doing anything wrong, but I also wasn’t fully alive. Somewhere along the way, I had stopped asking who God created me to be and started living based on what was required of me. And the quiet exhaustion of that kind of living began to settle in.

This is a story about postpartum, loss, and the quiet rebuilding of identity. When I stopped striving and leaned into softness, faith became the place where creativity returned.

The past two years I’ve struggled on social media. As each of my profiles gained followers, comments and received more and more direct messages I found myself combatting a lot of mental things. I deeply desire to connect with people and love how incredible the interactions can be but I found myself drained each time I opened Instagram and Facebook. After several conversations with my husband, I made a choice to take a 90 day Facebook break.

For the past year and a half, I have a confession to make. I spiraled. I’m not sure exactly what spurred it on, but I went down a worry wormhole like none other. Part of it felt like it started at the beginning of pregnancy. As my therapist and I discussed the why over this past year she brought to my attention that it was likely a form of protection like a mama bear would have with her cubs. None the less it got to a point where I felt like I couldn’t go a day without fear arising. Trauma in life can do some crazy things to the brain. It can carve channels that spur fear by creating neurological connections. That’s the science behind it, and the good news is - you can change it. It’s called neuroplasticity. Both prayer and meditation are proven to rewire the brain. Today I’m going to share a few ways you can take your power back and let go of worrying for life.

As we get to the end of January, I realize it’s been a little bit of a tough month for a lot of us. As the new year approached, I was feeling an urge to switch things up. I recently shared in this post it was just time for change. Although the new year has new goals, themes, and milestones planned… I really struggled with thought patterns. Instead of ruminating or brooding, I found myself aching for mental change. Change your environment and you will find that new energy flows. I learned this concept back in Interior Design school and studied Feng Shui. Energy is everywhere and when we need to make a mental or emotional change, look to change the environment. Today I’m sharing five ways to change your daily flow which will, in turn, change your mindset.

I’m a big fan of easy-going outfits for date nights. Whether it be a pretty dress or something more casual like this bodysuit and jeans, having effortless pieces you can throw on so getting ready for a date is all the more fun. This pink bodysuit has been one of my new favorite pieces! You can pair it with a leather skirt for a more dressed-up look or relaxed wide-leg jeans like I did here.
