How To Find Strength In Difficult Times

When facing a difficult time, one of the biggest challenges is finding strength to endure what we’re going through. If I reflect on some of the most difficult times in my life, there were times when I would find myself questioning if it would ever end. Sometimes our best day might look like putting our feet on the floor and facing the day, even if every part of us wants to do the complete opposite. Here are some reminders on how to find strength to help you get through even the most difficult of

When A Door Closes, Another One Always Opens

It’s a phrase I’ve heard many times: “When a door closes, another one always opens.” A concept that was so simple to understand, yet at times it felt so hard to grasp. Before I dug into what it meant and understood the weight of its meaning, it felt like it was one of those things people would just say.

5 Subtle Red Flags You Should Never Ignore

When we first get into a relationship, things are exciting because everything is new. What’s obvious in hindsight isn’t always apparent when it’s right in front of us. It’s easy to get wrapped up in the ‘honeymoon stage’, and overlook things we convince ourselves not to think twice about. While it may seem harmless, ignoring subtle red flags in the beginning can lead to way more destruction later on. It might be easy to convince yourself that these ‘red flags’ aren’t really flags at all, and not

Embrace The Current Season You're In

For many years, I struggled to accept where I was at in certain seasons in my life. It’s easy to get caught up in wishing and hoping for where you want to be, instead of embracing exactly where you are in a single moment. Learn to embrace the current season you’re in and welcome the unknown—no matter how it might feel.

Remember that things will never be exactly like they are now.

When I was younger, I often wished I was older and wondered what my future life would look like, or where I would b

Things I Wish I Would've Known In My 20s

Trying to find your path and navigate through your 20s is hardly anything but easy. Nobody truly has it altogether all the time—no matter how it may seem. We’re all figuring it out day by day, through each experience and choice we make. While my chapter of this decade recently came to an end, there are a handful of life lessons I learned along the way, all the things I wish I would’ve known in my 20s.

Nobody is responsible for your happiness, except yourself.

Read that, and read that again. No

What Being Broken Taught Me About Being Whole

At the time, I didn’t think I was broken.

Recognizing brokenness requires a certain vulnerability, one for a long time I wasn’t ready to admit or even accept. From the outside I held it completely together. I had the ‘keep moving forward’ mentality, even though from the inside it felt like I was drowning. Our feelings can lie to us, and 9 times out of 10 they will, but reality and the truth never does. I was broken before I was ever whole. The pieces started to slowly chip off until they eventu

Be Unapologetically Yourself

We’ll never give ourselves an opportunity to be everything we’re made to be, if we’re always trying to be what other people expect us to be. Expectations fall short almost every time. Even if you think you’re doing the right thing by being what the world tells you to be, it doesn’t mean that it’s the right thing for you.

Carve your own path, and don’t apologize for it.

As a writer, I was constantly pulled in a thousand different directions. For a long time, a part of me felt guilty when I wasn

To Forgive Means To Let Go, But It Never Means To Forget

The last thing we ever want to do when we are hurt, really hurt, is to forgive the person that hurt us. Or to forgive ourselves for something we caused through our own actions.

Our minds trick us into thinking that it’s easier to ignore the pain, bury it so deep within the surface that it could never be found. By burying it we convince ourselves that we can forget, but eventually it’ll be dug up.

We can’t run from the past, we can only learn from it. And to learn from it means acknowledging ou

Trauma Can Hurt, Change & Transform Us - But It Can Never Break Us

Our trauma can chain and torment us, causing us to feel like we can never escape the pains of the past.

Some trauma cuts deeper than others, yet in the end it all rips us apart the same. There’s a clear line of the person who you were before, and the person you are now, after. The versions meshing intermittently, never staying consistent enough to blend together completely.

Trauma changes us, but we can never allow it to break us.
