New Year, Same Me

Start where you are with what you have. What are your mindset goals for 2023? And what are the obstacles that get in the way of well-being and embracing the “same you” as you have always been?

Gratitude feels too Awkward...

Sure, sometimes you’re just not grateful. Let’s be honest, we have all been on the receiving end of a gift we weren’t totally excited about. Maybe one that is a little bit ridiculous, like a complicated puzzle for a 2-year-old, but we want to be nice, so we fawn gratefulness - but are we grateful?
