    April 5, 2025 - By Susie

    Insecurity ebbs and flows, just like confidence. Sometimes it seems that we diagnose someone else as being insecure, as if it’s a jab. Under the right circumstances our ego might take the wheel and call that other person insecure – as if by comparison, insecurity doesn’t apply to everyone. However, when we are the ones experiencing uncertainty, it’s easy to find reasons to feel worse and fall deeper into victim thinking. Let’s talk about where insecurities come from, and how to build real self-esteem. It’s important to remember that insecurity, like all other emotions, is fluid. Furthermore, everyone feels insecure from…

    How to Fall in Love with Yourself & What Happens When You Do

    April 1, 2025 - By Susie

    Falling in Love With Yourself Isn’t a One-Time Thing Falling in love with yourself is not one-time event. It’s not a grand, cinematic moment where you look in the mirror and suddenly feel like you’re enough. Real self-love is based on the ongoing relationship you have with yourself. Like any relationship, the one you have with yourself also requires time, patience, and a whole lot of emotional healing and learning. It’s messy, raw, and sometimes it feels like everything is in the way of you and the love you could have for yourself. Read more for some perspective on how…

    How Gratitude Shapes Your Life

    March 22, 2025 - By Susie

    Gratitude isn’t just something you practice on Thanksgiving or when something good happens. It’s more than a fleeting moment of appreciation – it’s a way of life. Gratitude shapes your life when it is the lens through which you see the world, the energy you bring to every conversation, challenge, and interaction. When you practice gratitude consistently, everything changes. How Practicing Gratitude Changes You The beauty of gratitude is that it rewires your brain, shifting you from a mindset of lack to one of abundance. Instead of waiting for things to make you happy, you realize that you already have…

    How to Love and Accept Your Body: Finding Home in Yourself

    March 18, 2025 - By Susie

    There are a lot of efforts being made on behalf of the beauty industry to be more inclusive and accepting of people’s differences. The problem is that even still, you may be bombarded with varying messages that make it hard to love and accept your body. Those messages tell you your body must to look a certain way to be worthy, to be loved, to belong. What doesn’t belong is the belief that you are somehow less because you don’t fit into an impossible mold that was never designed for you in the first place. However, you are not here…

    March 13, 2025 - By Susie

    Ever notice how easy it is to show respect to others, yet when it comes to ourselves, we’re often the first to dismiss, criticize, or downright betray our own needs? I’ve certainly been there. The thing is, self-respect is the foundation of everything – confidence, strong relationships, peace of mind. When you respect yourself, you stop settling, you stop apologizing for existing, and you start owning your worth. But what does respect actually mean? Let’s take a look. What is Respect? Respect is about much more than social etiquette or being polite. It’s about recognizing someone’s worth (including your own),…

    December 19, 2024 - By Susie

    Fear is an inevitable part of life, if you know how to manage your fear and choose empowerment – your life experience may become just a little bit easier. When we think of things we are afraid of—things we avoid, moments that make us feel inferior—what really matters here is perspective. Sure, sometimes there are objective factors to consider, such as qualifications and experience.
