4 Strategies to Quiet Your Inner Critic

The inner critic. You know the one. Sometimes it's quiet. Oftentimes it shouts form the rooftops... "You're never going to be happy!" "You're not worth it."

Five Simple Ways to Honour Your Body

Your body is where you live. It is the thing through which you experience this life and it's constantly conspiring to keep you here on this planet.

Self Care: What It Is, Why You Should Care & How To Get Started.

Let's start by asking, WHAT is self care? If you speak with me often or read my posts, you'll know that I'm a wee bit obsessed with self care!

31 Body Positive Affirmations to Kick Start your Body Love Journey!

Daily affirmations can be a powerful tool in growing and lovingly transforming your body image. So what is an affirmation you may ask? It is a positive sentence that you repeat to yourself on a daily basis. It is something you aspire to achieve or grow into, yet said as if you're already there.

Paradigms part 2: What makes you so uniquely broken?
