Ten years ago, I decided to take my mental health seriously.

I didn’t even know that I was craving a kind of power that makes life enjoyable, regardless of external circumstances: well-being.

Have you ever noticed how some people just seem to have this amazing joy for life, even when things are really tough?

That’s what I was intuitively seeking.

Back then, I couldn’t quite put my finger on it, so I focused on addressing the most pressing symptom of this longing: anxiety.

At first, I just wanted to get a handle on my emotional ups and downs to make my life better.

But I eventually discovered something way deeper and more fulfilling:

A solid peace that’s been with me through all the ups and downs I’ve faced.

What started off as a journey of self-improvement turned into one of my unegotiable core values: my mental health and well-being are sacred!

I prioritize the quality of what I think, eat, drink, and wear.

I prioritize the environments I choose to hang out in.

I prioritize the people I let into my life.

In other words, I can totally walk away from anyone or anything that threatens what I’ve spent a decade building, because nothing and no one is worth that sacrifice!

This is where a lot of people, especially women, struggle:

Learning to put themselves first instead of just going along with what society wants or what others expect.

We all know deep down what we need, but life’s demands often pull us away from our true desires, usually out of fear, shame, or guilt.

We’re so used to just going through the motions that it can take forever for most of us to realize something super obvious:  

We are NOT defined by what we own!

We’re not our jobs, money, stuff, relationships, or how we show up as parents or partners.

We’re the beings experiencing all of that.

And these beings deserve

to be respected, honored, and taken care of

every single day,

no matter

the

cost!
