When we get to Part 3: Reset the Soul, a lot of people tilt their heads and ask, "What does that even mean?" So, let’s start there.

To me, resetting the soul is about reconnecting with your truest self—every messy, magical, glorious part of it. It’s asking:

• How do I practice real self-love?

• Am I living in alignment with my purpose?

• How can I connect more authentically—with myself and others?

• When was the last time I let myself feel pure joy or silliness?

But here’s the thing: to do any of this, we have to slow down. Like, actually slow down. If we’re always in do-do-do mode, we lose ourselves. We stop knowing what we want, what lights us up, or even what makes us happy. And before we know it, we’re letting society—or everyone except us—decide how we should feel.

So today, let’s focus on joy. Not just the occasional "Oh, that was fun!" kind, but the daily, non-negotiable kind. Because joy isn’t a luxury—it’s soul fuel.

I share my personal journey, offering valuable insights and actionable advice for those looking to reclaim their self-worth and emotional safety.

The Importance of Boundaries in Healing

Understanding Boundaries
Boundaries are not just about saying "no" to others; they are essential for self-respect and self-care. They help us define our limits and protect our mental and emotional space. For those who have experienced emotional trauma, boundaries are crucial in restoring a sense of safet...

So, grab a cozy drink, settle in, and let’s explore together!

Understanding Boundaries as Self-Love

What Are Boundaries?

Boundaries are personal guidelines that dictate what is acceptable and what isn’t in our lives. Think of them as your own personal rulebook, unique to you and not dictated by societal norms. They serve as a protective measure for our energy and emotional well-being.

Personal Guidelines: Boundaries are unique to each person and reflect individual needs and values. They’re like your personal compass.

From People Pleaser to Boundary Badass: A Journey of Self-Care and Empowerment

Listen to the podcast episode here.

Hey there! In the latest episode of the "Soul Aligned Self-Care Podcast," I share my transformative journey from being a chronic people pleaser to becoming a confident "boundary badass."

This episode kicks off a new series all about the critical role of boundaries in self-care and self-love, especially for those of us who have faced challenges like low self-worth, trauma, or abusive relationships.

Understanding People-Pleasing: The Root Causes

I open up about my own past, recounting a 20-year experience in a verbally abusive relationship that conditioned me to prioritize the needs of others over my own. This experience, I explain, is not uncommon; many people find themselves caught in the cycle of people-pleasing due to various factors:

Fear of Rejection and Abandonment
Childhood Experiences: Many people-pleasers have a history of childhood experiences where they felt...

5 Actions You Can Take To Get Unstuck

Listen To The Podcast HERE

Every one of us has those points of transition in our lives. Sometimes We move through them with no problem, it’s not usually enjoyable but we keep moving forward so it’s over at some point. Then we have those times where we know we are in a transition period but we’re just not moving forward, we're stuck and it’s so frustrating. 

I’ve definitely been here, more than once, and I have a few things I do to push myself up and out and start to move forward. 

So, why do we get stuck? Well, this can be different for everyone but a lot of times it's because we are in a state of fight, flight, or freeze. Hence the freeze part. Also, it might just be the fear of the unknown and your own body & brain not letting you leave your comfort zone. 

hen we are in freeze because we experienced something very stressful or traumatic, your brain goes into protection mode. It’s your brain's job to keep you safe even if it’s not good for yo...

Understanding Self-Care and Self-Love: Definitions, Benefits, and Getting Started

>>Listen to the podcast here<<

Hey there, lovely soul! Let's dive into two essential concepts for a happier, healthier you: self-care and self-love. 

I call myself a self-care & mindset coach, but I have to say, I believe self-care and self-love go hand and hand and you can’t really have one without the other.  

This is why I believe they share many common benefits. One of the actions that I believe come under the definition of both self-care and self-love is boundaries. I always say that boundaries are the foundation for self-care and without it, all the wonderful self-care you do for yourself will not stick or have a profound effect on your life. Boundaries are deep-level self-care and an act of deep self-love. 

When I transitioned from professional people pleaser to boundary badass, this is when things really shifted for me. I used to adjust myself, my personality and actions to make others comfor...

Transform Your Day: Create a Relaxed and Intentional Morning Routine to Reduce Stress and Boost Happiness

Starting your morning out on the right foot can really have a profound effect on your entire day and sometimes your whole week. 

Just think about how you feel when something negative happens first thing in the morning. We can all get better at managing how we respond to these things, but we are not perfect. I know I’m not! 

So why not be really intentional about how you start your day so that you have a great experience, every day!

This is what this week’s self care practice is all about, creating a relaxed intentional morning routine to start your day off in a way that serves you all day long.

One of the things to remember when you’re creating this morning practice is to do what feels good to you, what feels relaxed to you. I’ll be making some suggestions, but it should feel good to you and anything that doesn’t feel aligned, just leave it behind. 

Why is it important for it...

Creating Alignment Within Your Energy Space

I wasn’t going to write about this today because this was also the topic of the Self Care Practice of the week. Truth is, I never really know what I’m going to write about every Monday, it usually just pops up for me at some point. 

 This week, I feel like this topic is so important because of all the over stimulation things we are exposed to on a daily basis. 

We need to always check in with ourselves and see how we feel in that moment and then decide what we would like to experience as far as the energy we need to experience and then curate that in that moment.

As an example, If I’m feeling super stressed and even anxious, it might not be the perfect moment to watch a thriller movie or listen to gangster rap. 

We don’t have control over all the things we are exposed to in our lives that affect our energy, but we do have control of some of them and that's what I would like to talk about today. 

Some of the things we do have control ove...
