Who are your mirrors?

Who are your mirrors?

We often struggle to see ourselves as we truly are. Our inner critic, shaped by past experiences, family dynamics growing up and the world around us today, can shape a view of our self that is not entirely accurate, leaving us with an internal swirl of perfectionism or self-doubt.

Reflecting on This Year and Embracing the Next

Reflecting on This Year and Embracing the Next

As I reflect on the closing chapter of the year before stepping into the new one, I find it helpful to contemplate these two questions: Firstly, what is the challenge that I handled well in the past year? And then, what fueled my ability to do so? Perhaps, for you, it was letting go of needing others to feel good about you in order to feel good about yourself. The fuel that enabled you to develop this capacity may have been surrounding yourself with people who accept you for who you are and...
