Permission to Fall: Letting Go of What You Think You “Should” Do
The air turns crisp. Leaves change their colors to beautiful yellow, orange, brown, and red, and they dance their final dance before drifting gently to the ground. As the days get shorter, it’s time to light a candle in the evening, and there’s a quiet invitation in the air to slow down, soften, and let go.

Do you ever notice how stepping outside isn’t just a change of scenery, but it’s actually a full body, full mind experience?

How to Prioritize Yourself and Build Confidence with Your 2025 Goals

The Mind-Body Connection: Feeling Healthy & Free Through Mindful Movement
I have learned so much about health in the past 7+ years since I got certified as a Holistic Health Coach. One of the things that always fascinates me is how powerful our health habits are that are completely unrelated to what we eat or how many times we go to the gym.
Most people think that health = food + gym. No sugar, no coffee, more veggies, less meat, etc and burning calories at the gym. This is all definitely important, however, there are other categories of health that have a huge impact on our wellbeing.
Happiness Hormones for Your Health
The mind-body connection plays an important role in our overall wellbeing, linking physical movements to mental and emotional health in profound ways. Dance, a form of physical activity that engages both the body and the mind, is a great example for this connection.
When you dance, your body releases endorphins in the brain, which are hormones that are considered natural mood lifters, which can help in reducing stress and anxiety. This type of physical movement stimulates the brain's reward centers, leading you to feel joyful and satisfied. As you move your body to the rhythm of the music, you not only improve your physical fitness, but also let yourself express your emotions through the movement, contributing to a sense of freedom and overall wellbeing.
Expressing Your Emotions Through Dance
Free-flow dance is also a powerful tool to process and express your emotions. As you move your body to the music, you get to energetically process and release what feels heavy on you. This emotional release can help in managing feelings of sadness, anger, overwhelm, or frustration, and you can end your dance session feeling renewed and refreshed, not just in your body, but also in your mind.
When practiced regularly, you may find yourself feeling more resilient and less irritable, which may make it easier for you to navigate everyday’s life challenges.
Dance as a Social Activity
In addition to the mental and emotional benefits, dance also supports social connections, which are vital for our mental health - more than we may actually think. Dancing with others, even when everyone just dances by themselves, gives us a sense of community and belonging, reducing feelings of isolation and loneliness. The shared experience of moving together creates energetic bonds and strengthens our empathy, which helps for our overall wellbeing.
Overall, the mind-body connection through dance not only improves our physical health, but is also extremely beneficial for our mental and emotional health, making it a powerful practice for a beautiful, balanced, and fulfilling life.

Why the Countdown to Achieving Your Goals Shouldn't Stress You Out
Every year, as the calendar gets closer to December 31, social media fills with countdowns of how many days are left to achieve our goals. It's a trend that many have embraced, but I can't help but feel it adds unnecessary pressure, especially for high-achieving individuals like you. The incessant calls to "hustle" and "work hard" to meet your goals before the year's end can often feel overwhelming. In this blog post, I'd like to explain why this trend doesn't sit well with me.
The Top 3 Benefits of Attending In-Person Events
Last week, I attended a 3-day in-person event with my coach Maya in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. I haven't been at a coaching event like this since 2019, and it was so good to travel around the world for something special, be in the room with amazing women that I got to connect with, and to work on my future life dreams after all these years of zoom calls.
There's so much I learned and was reminded of, so I have put together the top 3 benefits of traveling to events where you invested in yourself:
The 5 Stages of Change: How to Know if You're Ready for Lifestyle Changes
The Transtheoretical Model of Change (or 5 Stages of Change) is a model in psychology that helps you identify whether or not you're ready for a change in your life. Just wanting something doesn’t necessarily mean somebody is actually ready to take the action necessary for the change to unfold in their life. In this blog post, I'm explaining the five stages of change, hoping that it will help you identify where you’re at with the change you’ve been dreaming about.
The First Step to Finding Fulfillment in Life and Career
Who doesn't desire a fulfilled life, one with meaning and purpose, where you can only be the best version of yourself, impact people, and make a difference in this world? Where your work “makes sense”, and you see a direct result of the hard work you’re putting in every day? Many high-achieving and successful women crave a more meaningful life, a life with purpose, a life where they don't just work for a company where they’re replaceable at any moment.
Seedtime and Harvest: How to Set Goals that Work
The bible says: "As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest [...] will never cease." [Genesis 8:22] Here's why this is so important: In order to be able to harvest, you have to plant the seed first. If you keep your seed in your thoughts, locked up in a safe space, and never put it into soil, you can wait forever to harvest.
Goal Setting 101: Hold The Vision, Surrender The Rest
As someone who loves control, is perfectionist in the details, and appreciates a good plan, it can sometimes be challenging when things don't fall into place the way I wanted. Many of us have visions and dreams, things we want to achieve, do, accomplish, have, become. And while it is great to have the dreams, there are a few things that we need to take into consideration before we can go all in on them.
