To be reborn, we must experience death.⁣
⁣
There is no other way.⁣
⁣
But here’s something you may not know about healing, growth, and change: YOU CANNOT RUSH WHAT IS MEANT TO BE.⁣
⁣
I used to try to heal as fast as possible, I so badly wanted to move into a space of happiness that I was willing to sprint past everything meant for me in my sadness.⁣
⁣
Now I know better, now I see what’s really going on: our struggles are meant for us like a blessing. ⁣
⁣
They are unique to our story. Can you imagine ripping a gripping scene out of your favorite book or movie? FUCK NO! Why? Because that’s where the characters learn and grow and surprise us all.⁣
⁣
I know now that pain is to be felt. That the point is not to alleviate it as fast as possible, but to sit in it, embrace it, absorb every last ounce of the emotions stirred up by it, and then - and this next part happens naturally - to love it. ⁣
⁣
Your struggles are unique to you, they are you, and to sprint away from them in a desperate pursuit of happiness is like running from your shadow - it may stretch or shift, but it is still attached and always will be.⁣
⁣
This is the final lesson my beloved best friend/daughter/guardian angel taught me upon her death this past November: pain, sadness, depression - these are emotions to be completely experienced, that is the only way to be able to fully step into the light. ⁣
⁣
If we try to escape or minimize or hide from our pain, we’ll always have that shadow over our shoulder, waiting patiently to be embraced. ⁣
⁣
100% empowerment can only happen after you’ve absorbed all of your being. Then, and only then, can you transform into who you’re meant to be, with the lessons and love you received in the darkness serving as your greatest gifts of all.⁣
⁣
I love you Liu Boo Bear, thank you for everything you gave me, in life and in death 🖤⁣

Anything can become an addiction.Cookies, alcohol, exercise, work, procrastination, you name it.The way to overcome whatever the addiction is, is to discover the root of that craving and eradicate it.If you've been wanting to eat healthy but keep face-planting into tacos, what guides you to them? Is it stress? Do you feel you "deserve" them? Why don't you also "deserve" healthy foods?If you've been wanting to start an online business but keep putting it off, why are you procrastinating? Are you afraid? Is staying small easier than showing up?
Next time your cravings creep in, ask yourself: what is the source of this desire and is it healthy?There's nothing wrong with struggling with addiction!But there is something wrong with addiction itself.Addiction is an emotional crutch for something we do not want to face and that, my sweet friend, makes addiction disempowering.Personally? I'm working through a mean taco addiction right now.#puertovallarta has some incredible taco stands and UGH, I want them all.But what's the source of my desire? Because eating tacos all day is NOT a healthy reaction to life... For me, the source is stress and mental rhetoric that eating healthy is more challenging than my stress deserves to have to deal with.So today, I'll be hitting up my favorite produce market to stock up on healthy alternatives while I work on mentally pulling back from what's become quite the taco addiction... You're welcome body!#tacos #tacotuesday #addiction #liveyourtruth #transformation #selfloveclub #selflove #personalgrowth #selfgrowth #positivity #positivevibes #reconstructingwonderland #bethechange #goodvibes #highvibeandaligned #practicemindfulness #buddhism #mindfulness #awareness #makeitblissful #calledtocreate #liveintentionally #createandcultivate #buildyourempire #changetheworld

How to gauge healthy versus unhealthy spiritual responses:⁣⁣
⁣⁣
⭐️DOES IT MAKE YOU HAPPY?⁣⁣
⁣⁣
If your go-to spiritual response to life makes you happy, stick with it. Having a spiritual practice is not the same as having following a religious practice. Instead of following any one indoctrination, a spiritual response is about creating an intuitive ritual for healing from the overwhelms of life. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
⭐IS IT ACTUALLY WORKING FOR YOU?⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Answer honestly now: does it actually work to make you happy? Don't just commit to a spiritual practice because Becky says crystals changed her life! Get in touch with who you are and what you need to express spiritually and then follow that down the rabbit hole of self-love.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
⭐️️DOES IT INFLICT PAIN UPON YOURSELF OR OTHERS?⁣⁣
⁣⁣
If your spiritual practice at all harms yourself or another person, you need to stop and find something else. Under no circumstances is it acceptable to self-harm or inflict harm upon others for the sake of what you perceive to be spiritual growth. Find a response that gives love, not pain.⁣

Everything has its season.While the wild grasses stand tall and the blossoms bloom bright, the tree in the background has died for the season. Too much rain has drowned its roots.The tree will regrow in the next few months, when the rain stops and the field slowly fades into crunchy defeat.
And when that tree regrows, the most magnificent yellow flowers will blossom upon it, twisting and shimmering against that stark blue backdrop.
A lesson to us all: what nourishes one person may not nourish another, what sustains life can also destroy it, where one thing thrives another may perish.There is no one right approach to life, there is no singular route to flourishing within a given environment.
Find what works for you and embrace it, for dear life.#goodvibes #liveyourtruth #transformation #highvibeandaligned #buildyourempire #bossbabes #empowerment #meditation #abundancemindset #practicemindfulness #dontquityourdaydream #communityovercompetition #weallcanthrive #hope #solopreneur #entrepreneur #selfloveclub #selflove #personalgrowth #selfgrowth #positivity #positivevibes #reconstructingwonderland #creativebusinessowner #businessbydesign #makeitblissful #calledtocreate #liveintentionally #createandcultivate

Layer by layer, mistakes overlapped into beautiful perfection, all of the pieces coming together into a creative masterpiece...thus is this mural, as is life. “Coincidences” and “mistakes” are just mans way of saying “I don’t understand what just happened here.” As with coincidences, so too with mistakes, both provide us with opportunities for expansion through trajectory correction and commitment to balancing a flow-state.How do you handle the tedium of creation, growth, expansion, and ascension?
Personally? I can be impatient, which leads me to overwork and burnout.I have to force myself to take breaks. Like four days on/three days off every week, can’t work after 5 pm, and must do Pomodoro breaks every 30 minutes, kind of force 🤣But when I finally finish whatever it is I’ve set my mind to, the outcome always blows my mind. Creativity is a marvelous thing!
What have you made lately?

How often do you feel overwhelmed when you think about your future? Do you feel confused or uncertain or scared or nervous? Do your thoughts lead you to procrastinate or delay your future?⁣
⁣
When we’re in a state of over-analysis, we shift away from a flow-state and into fight or flight which causes us to lose track of everything that matters most in our life in favor of self-sabotage. ⁣
⁣
When we’re not in a flow-state ~ even if for good reason ~ we lose time, energy, gains, and experiences. When we are in a flow-state, we are 100% creatively and compassionately open to whatever comes to and through us.⁣
⁣
But here’s the catch: the majority of us are not in survival mode, we’re in thrive mode operating as if we were in survival mode.⁣
⁣
So here’s how to stay in the flow, no matter how daunting the future may seem: ⁣
⁣
⭐️ FOCUS ON THE PRESENT MOMENT: Keep your thoughts focused on whatever you’re doing in the moment. Wandering thoughts can lead to self-created and wildly unwarranted anxiety. ⁣
⁣
⭐️ DO THE HEALTHY STUFF: Hone your sights on health, happiness, and hustle because those are the things that help you thrive AND keep you alive. ⁣
⁣
⭐️ ACCEPT WHAT COMES, ACCEPT IT ALL: To hit a flow-state you can’t resist or force change, you must embrace whatever comes to you while curating personal discipline. This means doing things like committing to two workouts a day, but allowing them to be whatever exercises feel right for the day. ⁣
⁣
⭐️ EXPRESS YOUR CREATIVITY: At least once a day, let your creative side run wild! This encourages emotional expression and helps unwind an overworked soul. ⁣
⁣
⭐️ COMPLETE A HELPFUL TASK: Choose one small task that you can finish today that will ease some anxiety about your future.⁣

Good morning, stardust babe!
How’s your health game?
I’m currently in detox mode after a summer filled with wine, cheese, and two tons of tacos.I fell way out of step with my workout and nutrition goals this summer. BIG TIME.Have you heard of the @medicalmedium?
His recipes and nutrition insights are one of my favorite go-to’s for getting my nutrition back on point.
His work will blow your mind 😳🤯🥳 Now to get back on my #poledance routine to get them abs back 🤣🤣🤣...😳 wish me luck!#selflove #selfloveclub #selflovejourney #selfgrowth #selfhealers #medicalmedium #plantpowered #celeryjuice #detox #poledance #puertovallarta #freshproduce #motivation #mindbodysoul #makeitblissful #lifestylerevolution #lifegoals #liveintentionally #liveyourtruth #lovethyself #bethechange #breakfastview #buildyourempire #blessed #lifestyledesign

You only get one go at this life.
Make it beautiful.The beauty you see in this picture?There’s a fish or two being eaten alive in that there ocean... To live a beautiful existence does not mean to experience zero suffering.It simply means to experience.
And preferably to experience as much as you can before life takes you out of the game 😘#liveintentionally #createandcultivate #reconstructingwonderland #smallbusiness #onlinebusinesscoach #creativebusinessowner #businessleaders #liveyourtruth #transformation #escapetheratrace #changetheworld #buildyourempire #bossbabes #empowerment #riseup #expressyourself #livelifefully #expatlife #expatliving #expat #lifegoals #lovelife #puertovallarta #mexico

Do you love what you do?For a living...
In relationships...
To yourself... Love is hard to describe and there are so many facets to it, far too many to choose one type as an end all, be all.
But what I find fascinating is that it’s perceived more than consistently defined.For me, to love what I do for a living means feeling fulfilled, serving a purpose, and experiencing pride for what I do.
In relationships, it means feeling loved for every inch of my imperfect being. To be accepted and embraced for who I am, scars, drool, pig snort laughs and all.
Towards myself, love means feeling freedom of expression and confidence in my pursuits of happiness. It means nurturing my failures to transform them into tangible lessons.Love takes on all shapes and fashions and individual perception can only detail so much.But what I find most important is that we operate, in all areas of life, through love.Where can you adjust to begin operating through love?

Oh, that view right there?
That’s #puertovallarta, baby!It’s delicious and vibrant and everything I imagined it’d be! And it’s where I’ve called home for the last six years.Being an #onlinebusinesscoach means that I’ve hacked how to live and profit from anywhere in the world through online business, and that I teach others to do the same.
I’m an #expat #solopreneur who chose to do the risky business of striking out on my own for the sake of a happier, healthier, fulfilling existence.
And baby, I got no regrets in this end!
This month, I’m putting the finishing touches on my premiere online academy, Cake Queen, and I’ll be taking on beta users come October.

People told me not to quit my job and go freelance, not to become an #expat, not to drive down through Mexico to #puertovallarta, not to take a risk and live my life to the fullest.
Every single person who told me not to do what my intuition told me I should was operating out of a space of fear.But for those of us experiencing societal privilege at this time, it is up to us to push the status quo to adjust regardless of the fear thrown at us.We must be vigilant in our desire for change, especially when that change can help correct #ancestraltrauma, corporate and government corruption, class oppression, and material greed.
Bottom line: if you feel called to do something more meaningful with your life, that's because you should.The world needs more accountability, proactivity, and authenticity.#solopreneur #entrepreneur #onlinebusiness #homebusiness #buildyourownbiz #savvybusinessowners #businesscoaching #businessbydesign #womenwholead #calledtocreate #liveintentionally #createandcultivate #reconstructingwonderland #smallbusiness #onlinebusinesscoach #creativebusinessowner #businessleaders #liveyourtruth #transformation #inspiringwomen #changetheworld #buildyourempire #bossbabes #empowerment #riseup #expressyourself #livelifefully

I can't speak for all that I do not know, but as far as Western Civilization is concerned: this shit has been whack for centuries.The best way to contribute to dismantling the systems that keep people impoverished, stuck in the grind, and entrenched in mediocrity, is to start living your life.If you feel like your job is sucking the life out of you, that's because it is.If you feel like your nutrition leaves you depressed and lethargic, that's because it does.If you feel like your government cares more about profit than positive progression, that's because it's true.We were not born on this planet, at this time, to work for the will of masters anymore. That was the work of our ancestors and it was and is still the most tragic story of humanity: the enslavement of others to serve at the feet of arrogant, childish brats.No. Not no more, baby. Not in any way, shape, or form.This time is for mass global liberation.
For everyone, from every system, across all creeds, forever and ever. Period.Tell me, dear one: are you living your life or working it away for the gains of another?#truthbomb #realtalk #selflove #personalgrowth #selfgrowth #positivity #positivevibes #reconstructingwonderland #riseup #onlinebusinesscoach #creativebusinessowner #businessbydesign #revolution #radicalresistance #calledtocreate #liveintentionally #createandcultivate #buildyourempire #changetheworld #highvibeandaligned #goaldigger #dontquityourdaydream #communityovercompetition
