    A Moment of Truth

    January 26, 2018 - By 

    Want a peek behind the veil? Today I had a moment of truth and clarity that froze me in my tracks. My cousin Nicole and I were in the midst of recording an episode for our podcast, and something we were talking about triggered a powerful message. I went blank as the divine download was coming in, and couldn’t speak in the moment. I held on, breathed through it, and waited until I could continue our conversation. It was deep, y’all! I knew I would need some time to process what was happening inside me, and gave myself the immediate…

    Inspiration: Doing Hard Things

    December 20, 2017 - By 

    Sometimes, usually when I am trying something new or stretching myself in some kind of way- I forget just how many hard things I’ve already done and am on the other side of now. It’s a powerful thing to be able to pause and briefly look back at just how very fucking far you’ve come. Summon up your inner badass, the one inside you who helped you push through and grow past those old obstacles. Remind yourself that, Yes, Love, YOU CAN DO HARD THINGS. Once you’ve taken that in, breathe deep and step forward into your new next level.…

    #MondayMantra I’m Doing the Best That I Can

    December 18, 2017 - By 

    Today’s #mondaymantra is “I am doing the best that I can.” It’s good to remind ourselves that in any situation, we are doing the best that we can. Remember to give yourself grace, encouragement, or kudos- not harsh criticism. If there is some room and desire to grow or improve, gift yourself the education or training needed, without judgment. Release the need to get down on yourself or someone else when something isn’t “perfect” 💖🦋 #theblessingsbutterfly #empowermentcoach #mantra #mantras #perfection #perfectionism #grace #encouragement #inspiration #selfimprovement #empowerment #chill

    What do you see when you look at me?

    December 14, 2017 - By 

    “Shut your face, Suzy Sunshine! What the hell do you know about real life?” When you look at me, what do you see? Do you see: Confidence? Beauty? Strength? Joy? Kindness? Happiness? Positivity? A silly blonde? Yes- I am all of those, but i am so much more. To look at me now, you might never guess that I ever struggled, let alone felt pain, shame, and paralyzing fear for most of my life. From early childhood, i suffered as a victim of molestation, bullying, and abuse. It played as a recurring theme throughout my teens, and later manifested as…

    #FridayFeels Live Your Dream Life

    November 17, 2017 - By 

    How do I know that I’m living the Dream? When I’m sitting in my cozy home office, recording a Sparkle Hour podcast episode with my beloved cousin and one of our hot shit dream guests, and I suddenly get a surprise drop in from my son… delivering me a gift of Venti deliciousness and $$! I have a million more reasons to be grateful and tons of evidence that I’m living my dream life, and I want that for you, too. Big wins + little luxuries, joy + ecstasy, mind-blowing wonder + everyday eternal wisdom. Life abundantly lived. You, shining.…

    Thoughts on Healing in the Aftermath

    October 3, 2017 - By 

    True Confession: Last night, I handled my heartbreak in the most awesomely adult way possible. I curled up on the bed in a fortress made of stuffed toy animals and just sat with my sad feelings for a while. Inside my soft, safe, quiet space I cried for the victims of yet another senseless terror attack. I cried for the unrelated loss of yet another cultural icon and music legend. I cried for the divide among people around the world who are more interested in defending their positions than in engaging in helpful dialogue to address our very real problems.…

    #FridayFeels So Chill

    July 7, 2017 - By 

    This vacation week has been the perfect balance of Business + Pleasure, Friends + Lovers, Activities + Relaxing. 2 more days here in beautiful #Charlotte #NC to enjoy her summer thunderstorms, southern hospitality, fireflies, sweet tea, BBQ… and long, lazy mornings sleeping in late and cuddling with my sweetheart.  I’m thankful for the life I get to live, and grateful for my many opportunities and amazing experiences. I recognize that I would not be where I am today if I had not followed my heart and taken my leaps of faith along the way, even as scary and reckless as…

    #FridayFeels The Gloom & The Bloom

    June 9, 2017 - By 

    This past week has been a tough one for so many people. Whether you are reeling from the global terrors being inflicted on the innocent, or struggling with interpersonal challenges, office politics, or facing your own demons- it seems like everyone I know has been feeling overwhelmed this week in one way or another. Me too. I’m sometimes called The Positivity Queen, but even I struggle with my glittering crown from time to time. I’m tender and vulnerable, I get tired, and I sometimes really just want to camp out on my couch with my cat, a bowl of chips…
