Cultivating Self-Love
The world often demands from us to have to constantly prove ourselves and compare ourselves to others. it’s created a toxic culture of comparison and self-doubt.
In our daily lives, we are bombarded with messages that encourage us to measure our worth against unrealistic standards, making it easy to fall into the trap of self-doubt and perpetuating an unattainable quest for validation through external measures.

Joy Is Your Birthright
It’s time you realized that you have something in you more powerful + miraculous than the things that affect you. The most addictive + useless drug you’ll taste is called “comfort”.
A New Take On Traditions
Growing older, I appreciate that this is our unique family with its own set of rules. As I look at the incredible humans we’ve raised, I’m reminded that our non-traditional traditions keep evolving – and honestly, they’re getting more interesting each year 😂
