Unveiling Your Inner Radiance: The Power of an Internal Glow Up Life can be an extraordinary journey, filled with twists and turns that can sometimes leave us feeling lost or disconnected from ourselves. As women, we often find ourselves tirelessly navigating through the demands of society, relationships, and careers, often forgetting to prioritize our own dreams and aspirations. However, amidst the chaos, there exists a profound power in recognizing the need for an internal transformational GLOW UP. This self-discovery journey unveils a path towards rediscovering our passion, purpose, and the radiant dreams that lie within. Lost in the Maze: Life has a curious way of leading us down unexpected paths, sometimes leaving us feeling disoriented and lost in the maze of our own existence. As women, we often find ourselves caught up in the whirlwind of responsibilities and expectations, diligently fulfilling the roles society assigns us. We wake up one day, realizing that we have somehow veered off course, unsure of how we ended up where we are. The maze represents the complex web of societal pressures, external influences, and personal choices that we navigate through each day. It’s easy to become entangled in the expectations placed upon us by family, friends, and society at large. We may find ourselves prioritizing the needs and desires of others while unintentionally neglecting our own. Neglecting personal and quiet time in silence listing to the guidance from God or Creator. The relentless pursuit of external validation and the fear of judgment can cloud our judgment, leading us further away from our own dreams and passions. It’s easy to fall into routines or bad habits, compromising our authentic selves, and forgetting what truly ignites our souls. Think for a moment… What really ignites your soul? Recognizing this disconnection is the first step towards embarking on an inward journey to reclaim our sense of direction. The Glow Up Effect: The concept of a “GLOW UP ” has often been associated with external transformations such as physical appearance. However, the real power lies in the internal glow up—the transformation of our mindset, emotions, and self-perception. It’s about peeling away the layers of societal expectations and rediscovering the authentic, vibrant essence that resides within. As women, we possess an incredible capacity for growth and self-empowerment. Embracing the GLOW UP allows us to shed the limiting beliefs and negative self-talk that has held us back. It’s about cultivating self-love, self-acceptance, and an unshakeable belief in our own worth. This newfound inner radiance becomes a guiding light, leading us towards our true destination—the realization of our passions and dreams. As a coach, I love focusing on the gifts that God has given you and determining how can best use them! As the internal glow-up continues to radiate within, we find ourselves aligned with our true purpose. With newfound clarity, we become the architects of our dreams, fearlessly transforming our visions into tangible realities. The journey becomes less about simply existing and more about living with intention. With every step forward, obstacles may arise, and doubt may attempt to overshadow our progress. However, armed with our inner glow, we possess the resilience to navigate these challenges and stay true to our path. We recognize that setbacks are not failures but rather opportunities for growth and refinement. Recognizing the need for an internal transformational glow up is a profound act of self-love and empowerment. As women, we deserve to prioritize our dreams and rediscover the passion that fuels our souls. Through introspection, self-acceptance, and the cultivation of an unwavering belief in our worth, we can embark on a journey that unveils our true destination. Embrace your inner radiance, embrace your glow up, and watch as your dreams and aspirations take flight.

Therapist vs Spiritual Coach: Knowing Which One is Right For You Welcome to my latest blog post, where this month, I want to clarify the difference between a therapist and a spiritual coach. I hope this blog will help you decide who you might need to contact and why.  The primary point of this blog, however, is to emphasize the importance of contacting SOMEONE.  If you’re struggling with mental health issues or facing major life transitions, it can be tough to know who to turn to for support. Do you need someone who will help you work through specific challenges one-on-one in a clinical setting, or would you benefit more from an approach that incorporates mindfulness and spirituality? In this blog, I’m breaking down the key differences between these two types of professionals so that you can make an informed decision about which path is right for you.  As a spiritual coach, I help guide you on your spiritual quest. I help you connect with your inner wisdom and intuition so that you can make choices and take actions that align with your highest good. Spiritual coaches differ from life coaches in that they often work with clients who have a specific interest in personal growth and spirituality.  My discussions focus on mind, body, and spirit. One must nourish all three in order to achieve personal fulfillment.  Whereas life coaches may focus on their client’s specific issues, such as career coaching or relationship advice. The benefit of having me as your Spiritual coach is I have a deep understanding of the human experience and can offer insights that you may not be able to access on your own. I can help you understand your challenges and obstacles in a new light, which can lead to breakthroughs in your personal growth. I’ll help you identify your goals and create a plan to achieve them. I also bring accountability, support, a listening ear, and peace of mind to your life. My purpose, as a Spiritual coach, is to help you find meaning and purpose in your work and to connect with your inner self. In addition, I will show you how to reduce stress, anxiety, and burnout. In order to decide whether a therapist or spiritual coach is right for you, it’s important to understand the differences between the two. Therapists are trained professionals who can help you work through mental and emotional issues. They usually have a specific area of focus, such as anxiety or depression, and use evidence-based techniques to help you cope with your problems. Spiritual coaches, on the other hand, are not typically trained in mental health. Instead, I focus on helping you find meaning and purpose in your life.  I use techniques, such as journaling, reading positive messages, and practicing silence along with visualizations, to help you move into alignment. So which one is right for you? If you’re struggling with mental health issues, a therapist may be a better choice. If you’re feeling lost or stuck in life, a spiritual coach could be helpful. Ultimately, the best way to decide is to consult with both types of professionals and see which one feels like a better fit for you. There are many advantages to working with a spiritual coach, over other forms of therapy. For one, I can help you connect with your higher self and tap into your inner wisdom. This can be incredibly beneficial if you’re struggling to make decisions or find direction in your life. I’ll show you how to release old patterns and beliefs that no longer serve you. This can be a powerful form of healing that allows you to create more space for joy, love, and abundance in your life.  And during difficult transitions…whether you’re going through a divorce, job loss, or any other major change, I will help you navigate the challenges with grace and ease. To summarize this blog, whether you are struggling with a major life event, or need someone to listen, it’s important to seek professional help. Please remember the following distinctions… If you’re experiencing symptoms of mental illness, such as depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts, it’s important to see a therapist. These symptoms can be incredibly debilitating, and a therapist can help you get back on track. If you’re feeling lost or stuck in life, it may be beneficial to see a spiritual coach. A spiritual coach can help you find your purpose and direction in life. They can also provide guidance and support during tough times.
