Systems love to tie your worth to how much you produce or endure.

Here’s a question to ask yourself: Who benefits from me staying stuck? 🤔

(Hint: It’s not you.)

What’s one system you’re ready to call out?

Ever felt like your brand just doesn’t feel right—but don't know why?

You built your backward.

❌ You picked colors, fonts, and logos first… before knowing what your brand actually stands for.

And that’s why it feels off. A brand isn’t just aesthetics—it’s an extension of you.

Why do we still reward burnout like it’s some kind of badge of honor?

Hustle culture isn’t the flex people think it is—it’s a system designed to keep us stuck.

What’s one way you’re reclaiming your time this week?

Want to start aligning with abundance?

Step one: Rewrite your money story.

Write down your beliefs about money, then challenge the ones keeping you small.

What’s one belief you’re flipping today?

I’m convinced my dogs think I’m the staff in their 5-star hotel.

They act like going outside is a concierge service.

Do your pets also have main character energy, or is it just mine?

🗣️The narrative that spirituality requires sacrifice is outdated.

You don’t have to suffer to be aligned.

What’s one thing you’ve given yourself permission to enjoy guilt-free?

Why do my kids only tell me about their school projects the night before they’re due?

Do they think I have a secret craft store in my closet? 😒

What’s your go-to “last-minute fix” for moments like this?

Confession: I used to think wanting abundance made me selfish.

Turns out, being broke and stressed doesn’t help anyone.

When did you realize you needed to rethink your beliefs about success?

Money is just energy.

It’s a tool that amplifies who you are and what you value.

The question isn’t ‘Is money bad?’ It’s ‘How will I use it?’

❓ your current relationship with money—friend or frenemy?

Can You Be Spiritual and Successful? How to Align Abundance with Your Purpose

Here's how to align your purpose with abundance! 👇🏻

How to Break Free from Religious Guilt and Toxic Patterns With One Powerful Shift Watch now | Religious guilt and toxic patterns don’t have to define you.

Guilt thrives when you let OTHER people’s voices drown out your own.

Watch the full video to learn how to drown out THEIR voice. 👇🏻

Toxic relationships are sneaky.

They’ll have you thinking you’re the problem, that if you just try harder it’ll get better.

It won’t.

I have two failed marriages to prove it.

Here’s a trick—make two lists: what you’re afraid of losing by leaving and what you’ve already lost by staying.

If guilt is guiding your decisions, ask yourself: Is this truly what I value, or is it what I’ve been conditioned to believe?

Pro tip: When guilt shows up, pause and reflect.

It’s usually trying to keep you small.

How do you tell the difference between guilt and your inner truth?

Guilt and I have a toxic relationship.

It shows up, tells me I’m not doing enough, and then just hangs around being useless. 😒

Anyone else ready to break up with it?

🧐 Who are you without the guilt and expectations?

It’s a big question, but one worth asking.

When you strip away the “shoulds” and “supposed tos,” you get closer to the real you.

Try this: Write down one thing you’re doing just to keep others happy. ✍️

How would your life feel if you let it go?

The other day, I stopped mid-apology and asked myself, “What exactly am I sorry for?”

Turns out, I was apologizing for existing.

Newsflash: taking up space is your birthright.

When’s the last time you stopped yourself from saying “I’m sorry” for no reason?

Why are we so afraid of leaving toxic situations?

Fear of failure?

Fear of the unknown?

Let me tell you—staying in a situation that drains you is the real failure.

Write this down: You’re allowed to leave. You’re allowed to choose peace.

What’s one fear keeping you stuck right now?

You know what’s wild? 🤪

The number of decisions we make based on what will people think.

Guilt’s BFF is “what if,” and honestly, I’m over both of them.

What’s one decision you’ve made lately just for you?

Guilt isn’t your moral compass—it’s a red flag.

If guilt is guiding your decisions, ask yourself: Is this truly what I value, or is it what I’ve been conditioned to believe?

Pro tip: When guilt shows up, pause and reflect.

‼️It’s usually trying to keep you small‼️

How do you tell the difference?

Why does guilt always show up like an uninvited guest?

You’re finally relaxing, and guilt’s like, “Hey, shouldn’t you be folding laundry or saving the world or something?” 🙄

Do you ever just tell it to shut up?

Staying stuck doesn’t make you stronger—it just keeps you stuck.

We’ve all been there, convincing ourselves that holding on is the “right” thing to do.

But sometimes, the strongest thing you can do is let go.

What’s one thing you’ve been holding onto that no longer serves you?

Every time I doubt myself, I remember the darkest moments I’ve lived through and think: If I could survive that, I can handle this.

Resilience is one hell of a superpower. 💪🏻

What’s one thing you’ve lived through that reminds you of your own strength?

Even in the middle of chaos, you’re being guided.

Look for the synchronicities, the little signs, the things that whisper, “You’re on the right path.”

What’s one sign you’ve noticed recently that reminded you you’re not alone?

Anyone else feel like their inner critic is just a grumpy roommate you didn’t ask for?

Mine is constantly side-eyeing my life choices. 👀

If your inner critic had a name, what would it be?

The universe loves a dramatic plot twist, doesn’t it?

One minute you’re scrolling through life, and the next you’re signing up for a psychic development course you didn’t think you could afford.

(It’s me, I did that 🙃)

What’s the wildest leap you’ve ever taken?

If you could go back and give your 10-year-old self one piece of advice, what would it be?

Mine would be: You don’t need to earn love—it’s already yours.

What would you tell your younger self?

Have You Ever Faced a Dark Night of the Soul? Those moments where everything feels like it’s falling apart are hard, but they’re also transformative.

Naming your dark night of the soul can be transformative.

💔 Was it a breakup?

👩🏻‍💻 A career shift?

😩 A massive loss?

When you name it, you can start to see how it shaped you and what it taught you.

What’s one ‘dark night’ that changed you forever?

Why do we still act like suffering is a requirement for worthiness?

Spoiler: It’s not.
If you’ve been waiting for permission to let go of the guilt and self-sacrifice, consider this it.

What’s one thing you’ve stopped doing because it wasn’t serving you?
