I’ve been helping people for many years now and can you guess what the #1 topic that I’m asked for help with? 

Yes, fun fabulous Romantic Relationships is top of the list with relationships in general as the second most popular.

This can be a very difficult subject for people, but it doesn’t have to be.

Let’s look at some different ways of allowing more love into your life.

I really want to help you finally get and keep the relationship of your dreams.

But, in order to do that, we need to gather some important information about your beliefs regarding love.

So, what does love mean to you? Maybe you think of family, romance, or cute little puppies wagging their tails.

Whatever your first thoughts were; I’d like you to take a deeper look at what you call love.

Imagine what it feels like for you to love and be loved. Was it all good, or did you have some uncomfortable thoughts and feelings pop up?

Like the jerk or jerkette that you overgave to...

Self love is a very popular topic, especially the last few years. As positive an idea as it seems, I find it's definitely a mixed bag.

Growing up, I was a chubby kid, but in my late teens and early twenties, I became morbidly obese. I endured sexual abuse at the age of 7, and that set the tone for the decline of my self-esteem.

Even as I’m writing this I realize I’m becoming super analytical and choking back the more creative side of me.

Another great example is that part of me still feels that I’m only loveable under certain conditions. Funny how those conditions change depending on who’s judging us.

The world grooms us to always put others first and that any excessive liking of yourself is frowned upon and you’re quickly labeled egotistical and selfish.

It is more acceptable and actually often encouraged to put ourselves down and pretend we are small and insecure. All because if we like ourselves that somehow really pisses others off.

As a...

Let’s talk about your amazing body!

I know some of you probably thought, what the hell is she talking about?

My body isn’t amazing. It's too big here, too little there, pain in this area; all sorts of things wrong with it.

Ok, now that we got the body shaming out of the way; can you find one thing you like about your body?

Just one. It could be your eyes, you have great toes or the way your nose crinkles when you smile!  

If you found it difficult to find anything about your body you like, you’re not alone.

This world teaches us to hate our bodies, look for things wrong with it and compare it to others.

I used to think something was wrong with me because I had pores on my face but the people in the magazines did not. Until I realized they were heavily made up and photo-shopped to look that way!

We are constantly bombarded with images of bodies that are the example of what we're supposed to look like.

Rather than look to others for validation, have...

In last week's blog I mentioned taking a look at ways you can appreciate yourself.

So now that you've done that, and even if you haven't, let's look at ways we can spread the appreciation and gratitude to those around us.

• Donating tangible objects,
• our time/expertise and
• simply sending kind thoughts towards someone

are all fantastic ways to pay it forward.

Look around your home or office.

Do you notice some things that you're done with?

Perhaps you loved them at one time but they just aren't a reflection of what you want around your space any longer.

Do you realize that even if you are done with the painting, book, clothing item, etc; that it could be exactly what someone else is dreaming of having?!

Be honest with yourself and let go of items that you never use or feel obligated to keep because someone gave it to you, or you spent a lot of money on it.

Allow someone else to truly enjoy the item instead. When you release them it opens space for things you love even...

It’s the week of Valentine's Day and whether you love it or hate it; this time of year can certainly bring up some old memories.

I’m not saying that all relationship memories are unpleasant, but let’s be real. You’ve probably been disappointed in this area before perhaps even a few times…

Now is an excellent time to let go of old love junk finally!

Walking through stores and seeing walls of stuffed animals, chocolate hearts and flowers can be very triggering for some. Just hearing or seeing the word love can spin some people into a downward spiral.

But, being triggered is a great thing. It means you have some current stuff that is super ready to shift out of your reality!

First, notice what’s triggering you.

What are the memories that are coming to mind and where do you feel the tension in your body associated with them?

Perhaps you’re comparing yourself to others. Things like; they have a relationship, I don’t.

Or you...

Happy February!! The month of all things love and romance!

Everyone loves the feeling of being in love, the fresh energy, and excitement, the hope, and possibilities that perhaps this is finally the person you’ve been looking for your entire life.

But, have you ever wondered if you’re able to Love yourself the way you expected a person to Love you, or how you think you love them?

We often focus on something being wrong with us and that if we can just find that right person to complete us and Love us, then we won’t be broken or wrong anymore.

Not to say that you need to love yourself 100% perfectly all of the time, but there is a certain level of self-love and appreciation required for a healthy, happy, balanced relationship to exist.

How many of you have found yourselves in situations with people wondering how you allowed that to happen and if you only had more confidence and self-worth there’s no way you’d let someone treat you that way?

I know...
