What if you stopped asking what you should do?
I’ve been noticing how often the question “What should I do?” can become the starting point when we’re faced with a difficult decision. We ask ourselves what makes sense, what other people would expect, what the sensible choice is, or what we should be doing by now. And sometimes, underneath all of that thinking, there’s another question waiting to be heard: What do I actually want? I think it can be surprisingly difficult to separate what we genuinely want from what we’ve le

When everything looks fine… but you don't feel fine
I’ve been thinking about how easy it is to look at someone’s life from the outside and think, “They seem to have it all together.” And sometimes we can even look at our own lives in exactly the same way. Everything might be fine — work, relationships, home, family, day-to-day life — and yet something inside us just doesn’t feel quite right. There may not be one obvious reason. You might not even be able to explain what’s wrong. You just know you don’t feel quite like yourself

What is Trust
How many times have you said to a friend “I just don’t trust him/her”? It isn't always easy to understand why we do and we don't trust another person. Brené Brown, well-known research professor from the University of Houston, and public speaker, had thought about the concept of Trust often. However, it really hit home for her when her daughter came home one day in the 3rd grade, incredibly upset. Through her tears she told her mom that something hard had happened at school a

Why do we stay when something no longer feels right?
Why do we stay? Why do we stay in relationships that no longer feel right. In jobs that drain us. In friendships that have changed. In patterns we know aren't good for us. Sometimes we stay because we’re afraid. But often it's more complicated than that. Familiar doesn't always mean right Our nervous system tends to prefer what it knows. Even when something isn't particularly good for us, familiarity can feel safer than uncertainty. We know how this works. We know what to exp

You know what you should do… so why is it so hard?
Have you ever known exactly what you should do, but somehow still couldn't do it? You know you should leave. You know you should say no. You know you should have the conversation. You know you should stop putting yourself last. And yet… something holds you back. Often, that's because knowing something intellectually and knowing what is true for YOU are two very different things. The voice of “should” “Should” often comes from somewhere outside of us. It can come from fami

Are you stuck or are you between chapters?
Have you ever had a feeling that something in your life isn't quite right anymore — but you can't quite put your finger on what needs to change? You might be functioning perfectly well. Going to work. Looking after everyone. Doing all the things you're supposed to do. And yet, somewhere underneath it all, there’s a quiet feeling of: “I don’t think I want to keep doing things this way.” I think we can be very quick to label this feeling as being stuck. But sometimes, I wonder
