Happy Wellness Wednesday!😎

Brave Girls Rise (formerly Wonder Woman Rising)is a sacred space for women to release shame, self-loathing, resentment, and perfectionism.

Some of our clients are on a journey to forgive themselves...❤️

Some clients are working on healing from heartbreak, becoming resilient and reconnecting with their "Aphrodite Energy."💪💜

If this resonates with you, we would love to learn about your story, struggles, goals and dreams.

If you are struggling with stress eating, restrictive or overeating behaviors, or feel guilty when eating foods you love, THE GODDESS PLAN, our no diet, weight loss plan may be what you have been looking for. 🍧🍪

If you are an adult stepdaughter, who has been treated like an irritation, burden, or taught you must be agreeable and sacrifice your own needs to "keep the peace" or "not cause conflict, The "Redheaded Stepdaughter" Coach programs may be a great resource to help you reclaim your power and learn to love yourself again. 💜💜

Dopamine hijacks our ability to see people for who they are, instead of who we want them to be.

Wildly successful people don't have time to criticize others... They are too busy building crushing their goals and creating real connections.

Critics only matter when they've been where you want to be and offer ways to improve and be better.

Be fierce, be brave, bold. Bet on YOU!

Keep showing up and sharing your truth, even when others try to shame you for it.

Live from a place of wonder and deep desire to protect your peace, your spirit, your essence.

Don't let anyone else define your worth.

Downgrade or remove people in your life who want to silence you or make you feel small.

Want to find your way home to your soul and feel grounded in your own skin? Tired of living in survival mode?

Forgiveness is NOT access. You can forgive a narcissist or toxic person for unkind, cruel, toxic behavior because you refuse to drink the poison of resentment... and not let them back into your life.

It is your life and you get to decide who you give access to... even if it upsets other people you love.

Apologies require:

✅️ acknowledgement and full responsibility of bad behavior

✅️ remorse for the harm the behavior caused

✅️ heartfelt promise to avoid the behavior in the future

Sunday is Mother's Day, a day celebrating mothers, grandmothers, great-grandmothers, and bonus mothers.

Too often, stepdaughters are villainized by causing stress and strife for not welcoming new stepmothers immediately, or setting relationship boundaries.

Stepmothers treated them like "redheaded stepchildren"; inconveniences and irritations. What if they refuse to acknowledge their stepdaughters existence on Mother's Day?

Here's a poem, written in the voice of "redheaded stepdaughters" everywhere.

Pawn

Carved pieces dance
across angled squares,
each move part of
your master plan.

Pawn is the part
you always wanted
me to play.

Yet, you were the one
left betrayed...

Because the Queen
will always be
the one left
standing.

Unresolved emotional baggage will cost you everything... neck and back aches, trouble sleeping, emotional exhaustion, belly fat, you name it.

Life is so much better when we let go of the perceptions other prople have of us, or regrets for past mistakes.

Happiness is the result of self-love. Each time you show yourself compassion and invest in YOU, your gratitude for life and capacity for generosity and empathy expands.

We become loveable because of our imperfections. Stop trying to airbrush, erase, or hide your imperfections. People want and need to see the real you!
