Comparing our lives to others will rob us of our joy — every single time.

And listen, it’s so easy to do. I’ve been there.
I’ve caught myself thinking:
“Why are they so much further ahead?”
“What’s wrong with me?”
“Why am I not getting this like everyone else?”

And don’t even get me started on how that plays into self-esteem and old insecurities. 😩

But here’s what helped me shift:

I started falling in love with my life.
I worked on accepting myself — flaws and all.
If I can change something, I change it.
But if I can’t, my prayer is:
“Lord, help me love this part of myself… or make peace with it.”

And no, this didn’t happen overnight. It’s a daily practice.
A muscle you build.

Like I mentioned in my last post, self-awareness is the cheat code.
Recognizing when you’re being too hard on yourself…
When you’ve convinced yourself that what they have means your life isn’t valuable.

Today’s affirmation:
I am worthy.

And if you don’t feel like that today? That’s okay too.
Be honest with yourself. Say:

“I’m not feeling great about where I am right now.”
“I wish I was further along.”
Honesty helps you get to the root faster.
And once you know the root? You can actually do something about it.

Start with journaling.
Let the page hold the things you’re still learning to hold yourself.

Let me know how you’re doing in the comments or send me a DM — I’ll send back some encouragement.

Talk soon.

Keep blooming. 💮

I know, I know. It’s Monday.

Take a deep breath. Do what you gotta do to get through.

First things first: I’ve missed you guys!
I’ll have to catch you up soon on all the things (fun and not-so-fun): travel, adulting, work — just life lately.

But today, I want to share something that probably should’ve been my very first post on this page. It's one of my core messages and something I've repeated to myself many times while navigating this wild ride called adulthood:

“You’re going to be fine.”

Maybe you need that reminder today.
Maybe you know someone who does.

Here’s why it’s important. When you’re just starting out or if you’re feeling behind, the pressure to have all the answers can be stifling.

What I've realized is:
Life requires honesty. So while I’m saying, “You’re going to be fine,” I also have to say…

Life doesn’t come with a handbook. Trust me, I looked everywhere.
You’ll need to commit to your goals and dreams.
Refine and recommit. And maybe even recommit again.

Life ebbs and flows.
You're up today — maybe not so much tomorrow. But that’s normal. That’s kinda just how it goes until it levels out a bit.

The cheat code though? Self-awareness.
Get in the habit of asking yourself reflective questions as you move through jobs, experiences, and relationships.
How do you want to show up in the world?
What's my life vision?
Does this align with my goals?
Is this fulfilling to ME?
Do I like it?
Does this make me come alive or do I shrink a little?

What’s that saying?

Get knocked down nine times, get up ten. This is what life is really about. Perseverance. Flexibility. Understanding. Perspective.

Knowing this is just part of the growing pains is half the battle.

You got this. I got you.

Air hugs & High fives.
MAKE IT A GREAT WEEK.

Something I’ve realized on my own journey which is why I stopped asking young people/adults what they want to be when they grow up. Especially with the world we live in today.

Instead it’s even more important and critical to encourage them esp those entering the “real world” to explore their interests. What problems do they want to solve in the world? What are they curious about? How can their natural talents turn into a career? Let them create a plan that’s actually realistic.

Build a relationship around support and honesty so that they can be honest with you even if the answer is I don’t know yet or I’m not exactly sure.

That does not mean they are failing in life.

What I know for sure is that there’s a lot of information and ideas in our “I don’t know” responses.

Trust me.

Shoutout to FFLOTUS for this empathetic nugget.

Good morning Bloomies!

Check out one my most popular blog posts.

Let me know in the comments, how often do you take inventory of your life and what's your approach? What's the most interesting thing you discovered during the process?

My # 1 area is pretty consistently: love life and at one point, career.

Every now and then, I stop and ask myself:"Is my life reflecting back to me everything I feel I deserve?” Not what I've settled for. Not what’s convenient. But what honors my worth.Here are some things I do when the answer is flat out NO.I do a quick inventory of all the major areas of my life a...

Ever had a “blah day” where your brain says, “Do everything,” but your body says, “Nah”?

Same….same.

They say when life throws you lemons, THROW THEM BACK.

That’s why I made something to help: The “Bloom Me Back To Center” Reset Planner.

It’s my go-to when I feel off, overwhelmed, or unsure where to start to get myself together.

It’ll help you:

Regroup
Recenter, and
Remember who you are.

Because here’s what I know to be true: Tough days are normal. Feeling blah sometimes is normal. We just don’t wanna stay in that space for too long.

Right?

Right!

Tag me when you use it. I’d love to see what you come up with.

As always,

I want to dedicate this post to the Class of 2023. This quote cracks me up every time. If someone would’ve described adulthood like this after I graduated college it would’ve taken so much pressure off. The moral of the story is just keep at it and you will get better. Or I should say, things will level out. You just have to find what works for you. And you’ll know what works for you once you get clear on what you want out of life. You’ll get annoyed at times, frustrated, upset, and you will cuss 🫢. Totally normal. Keep going. Keep your head in the game and your mind right. Eventually you’ll find the tools and techniques that work for you. And that’s really it. Be authentic. Develop an unwavering belief in yourself. And don’t forget to laugh. It helps. Congratulations.

Tackle the week with a new mindset. We are half way thru the year. Don’t focus on what you could have done or should have done yesterday. Revisit your goals and go for it.

Bloom!
