I hear my clients share these beliefs and it keeps them stuck and overwhelmed.
1. I don't like to brag about myself.
2. My worth is based on how productive I am.
3. I'm thinking about this and that, and what about this, ooh and that, and then this. (insert frantic energy of trying...

This is a fun blog to write.
For my son's 8th birthday we bought a plane ticket for him to fly to Texas, by himself, to see Preston's family. He leaves in two weeks and will be there for a week.
Here's how this came to be.
Austin's birthday is on March 1st....
When I ask my clients, “Who are you if you strip away your titles?”, an inner scramble typically reveals itself.
Gosh, who am I if I’m not a director, sister, wife, business owner, friend, mother, aunt, dog mum, and I’m left with little ol’ me?
I...
A few reminders from me to you, or truly, from me to me!
- Let me stop fighting with the air.
- I don't need to question myself or make myself wrong. When I do, I box myself into a corner.
- I have no problems today, so let me stop manufacturing them.
- All is well.
- God is good.

Part of the issue, as high-functioning perfectionists, is that we are so hard on ourselves.
Heaven-forbid we make mistakes.
We know logically that we make mistakes all the time, and we need to in order to grow, yet emotionally we don't have the tolerance and the skills to...
On a recent interview I was asked, 'What is some mainstream advice you disagree with?'
My answer? Do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life.
Get out of here with that shit. Seriously.
Life is work. Getting to know ourselves is work. Work is work. Parenting is work. Love...
Boy, did my new coach, Kim, knock my socks off yesterday.
Do you ever struggle with putting up a wall, feeling like you can't show a crack in your armor and feeling a ton of pressure?
Would it be ok if we called this person - ahem me and maybe you, - a perfectionist and a high-performer?
...
Can you pause in this moment and take three deep breaths?
Now, can you say something nice about yourself in the form of a brag? Brag before you read on and let a small smile form across your lips as you marvel at how precious you are.
{Inserting literal pause.}
Yesterday, at the end of our...
Following on from my brag above, we don't always feel like doing the thing that is right for us to do.
I love helping women feel their feelings. It's a necessary practice for developing vulnerability. However, what I find most true in my life is that I have to act my way into the...
Boy did I love this juicy bit of perspective I'm about to share with you.
Let me set the stage.
I've been sorting through an assortment of feelings about my worth, my business, what's next in my business, and money. I'm not sure this work ever ends especially when...
What have I been up to?
A whole lot of relaxing.
I have pottered around the house and completed twenty small projects. Things like organizing Preston's closet space to make way for his shoe collection, sorting Austin's toys, hanging a picture that has been sat on his bedroom floor...
With great delight, because it's been one heck of a year for me and because I'm about to take 12 days off, this will be the last blog of the year.
As I prepare to share a recap of the year with the Moore Soul Sessions team, I am most proud of how much I have grown in the areas of...
