    Where Insecurities Come From, How to Heal Self-Worth and Build Self-Esteem

    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 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…

    Respect Yourself: The Key to Confidence, Boundaries, and a Life You Love

    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),…

    Someone to Look Up To: Finding My Inner Role Model

    November 12, 2024 - By Susie

    For years, I longed for a role model who could guide me toward becoming a confident, empowered woman. I envisioned someone like Wonder Woman—strong, fearless, and wise. I dreamt of a mentor who would take me under her wing and help me embody all the qualities I admired in others. But despite meeting many inspiring women, I couldn’t find the perfect role model—until I learned an important lesson: sometimes, to find your role model – you have to look within. The Search for a Role Model I was always drawn to strong, self-assured women who walked into rooms with confidence.…

    November 2, 2024 - By Susie

    Self-love is a topic that gets a lot of attention—but what does it actually mean? How do we cultivate self-love? If we have a healthy relationship with ourselves, we may want to deepen it. If we don’t, chances are, we feel that too. The presence or absence of self-love impacts every area of life: our relationships, career success, boundaries, and emotional well-being. But how do we get to a place of authentic self-love? And what does loving yourself truly look like in a world filled with mixed messages and unrealistic expectations?

    First Post: A Journey of Self-Discovery

    October 23, 2024 - By Susie

    This morning, I was talking to my therapist about why I keep giving myself excuses for not starting my blog. He pointed out that it’s my programming—those old beliefs and fears—that are stopping me from taking that step. Fear of rejection, fear of abandonment, and the thought that someone might not like what I write are all powerful forces that hold me back, just a few of the things I will talk about on my journey of self-discovery. One vivid thought that kept creeping into my mind was imagining my mom, all sweet in her little-old-lady housecoat, doing an innocent…
