Believe in YOU

I always see and hear posts of people saying - forget about the people who don't believe in you, or who are judging you, who think you shouldn't be doing what you want to do...but for me the truth was I had so many people who DID believe in me...the person who didn't was ME. I told myself stories, I made things up, I beat myself down and truly just didn't think I could do it.

This was in every aspect of my life. I didn't think I could get promoted at my corporate job, I have fought with feeling confident in my body because I've said I can't stick with getting healthy, I have told myself that I am a shitty mom and compared myself so many times to other moms who I think are truly amazing, I have started and stopped multiple MLM companies since becoming a stay at home mama because I didn't think I could do it, I have held off on my coaching business because no one would want to hear from me.

Holy shit you guys -- that's a TON of self doubt and no wonder I've been in such a dark place for so long. Because I've never believed in myself. But I've finally broken through that, I'm slowing down, and I'm correcting myself every time a bad thought comes in to my mind. The thoughts still creep in - as this is all VERY new territory for me, but I truly do feel a pull to share my struggles and growth through motherhood and just figuring out WHO I AM. Even if its just a journal for me or something that one person reads and they just feel better and feel like "oh damn, I'm not the only one", then I am feeling good about what I'm doing.

The ways I've started making these shifts and ways that I'd love to help others make them:

1. Listening to others and accepting their support.

2. PODCASTS while out walking my dog. Some of my favorites are: Whine Down, Angie Lee Show, Style Your Mind, and RISE.

3. Personal Development - reading books and listening to trainings that help me see that it is possible if I want it.

4. A community of supportive women. As much as social media can be a negative space - finding a group or groups of women who are positive and supportive is HUGE for growth.

So go out there and find yourself some good support and start looking within to figure out what is blocking you and where you can build the strength to truly start going after your dreams <3
