Celebrating being you in 2022. I'm so glad we've made it to our 1 year anniversary. 

This year we're showing up more authentically and staying true to ourselves. We're focused on the people and places that we feel liked, loved, and never tolerated. Raise your hand if you understand.  Life is too short not to be with the ones you love and the feeling is mutual.

As we approach a new year, let's leave some things behind. The spirit of Comparison, Envy & Jealousy will destroy your happiness and joy.  You are enough. You are doing well and exactly where you should be.  

As Your Girlfriend Next Door & Friendship Coach, I want you to know I'm proud of everything you've accomplished this year. You are here! You have survived, and you are thriving.  We can all proclaim, "It' a new you in '22!" So say it with me, "It' a new you in '22!"  

Put all fears aside and thrive!
