I get asked this question a lot.
Let me tell you how...
I'm not here to give you an ABC blueprint on what you need to post, when, where and how. Or why you need to this ONE be all end all strategy 🙅♀️ Strategy is important, but only when it ALIGNS to you.
But here is what I do offer in my work as a mindfulness coach to entrepreneurs:
Read MoreI stopped REACTING.
Instead, I slowed down and tuned inward.
I used all of my tools and knowledge to connect and understand myself more deeply.
This foundation gave me opportunities for clarity.
Ideas, not from external sources, but from within me started to come.
Wisdom presented itself when I let myself listen.
Read MoreBelieve it or not, I wasn't always comfortable or confident in myself.
Growing up as a first generation Canadian to Vietnamese refugees, and survivors of war, was both beautiful and complex.
Over the years as I delved deeper into building a relationship with myself, I started to bring awareness to how much of my behaviour and mindset had been conditioned to “always fit in”.
Read MoreIn case no one's ever told you… It's okay to feel.
It’s okay to let yourself feel.
It’s okay to acknowledge your emotions.
Let's normalize the experience of feeling our emotions instead of running, hiding and distracting ourselves.
Letting yourself feel is necessary in the journey of growth and healing.
Read MoreOver the weekend, as I was sitting in my home office, when my partner came in and said…
“You're my best good friend.”
I thought it was sweet and laughed (it's a line out of Forrest Gump). And my immediate reaction was to say the same thing back to him.
As I started to say it out loud, I actually stopped myself and said this instead…
Just like the seasons, we as human beings move through seasons of growth, change, and transformation.
In this collaboration with CueCalm, this meditation will ground ourselves after a long winter, embrace the seeds we've planted in the spring, and invite ourselves to bloom this summer.
Read MoreStop wearing busy as a badge of honour.
I used to thrive on this idea that I was "busy"…
It was mostly for show. Thinking that if I was “busy” I was somehow more important.
… but when I really slowed down to look at it... I was "busy" doing things that didn't serve me personally, or serve my business.
Read MoreLet’s stop saying, “practice makes perfect.”
Practice does not make perfect.
Practice makes… practice.
“Perfect” is an illusion that sets us up for disappointment, annoyance and frustration.
Perfectionism leaves no room for us to be human.
Read MoreI have a PSA (publicservice announcement)… You do not answer to anyone but YOU.
Earlier this week I got a racist message into my Instagram inbox. I share my thoughts on urgency culture and how we can practice communicating more mindfully.
Read MoreThe roads around my home are covered with rice harvested from the fields being laid out to dry.
It was almost like one day I could drive on the roads with ease and the next I'm navigating my motorbike carefully through piles of harvested rice (see photo below)
Seeing the roads covered makes me think of the rice's journey and how rice transitions with ease (whereas we humans don’t have as much grace!)
Read MoreI ran a poll to my Instagram community recently and asked folks how Mondays made them feel…
Excite you or makes you anxious.
80% of people said Mondays made them feel anxious.
That’s a lot of people waking up with anxiety on Monday mornings!
This doesn’t surprise me, though.
