Do you have a hard time saying 'No'? Do you put everyone else's needs before your own? Do you worry about what other people think of you? Do you agree with people because you’d like to "fit in”? Don’t want everyone to like you and say good things about you? Most women like to be thought of as a NICE person, easy to get along with, and accommodating. I have many clients that are very […]

Alicia Keys Keys has been a champion of the no-makeup look for years, opening up in 2016 about her decision to stop wearing cosmetics in order to free herself from societal pressures.  "[It’s] really freeing," she said during a visit to Today. "The thing is… it kinda came from because we put so many limitations on ourselves, we put limitations on each other, society puts limitations on us, and in a lot of ways, I’m […]

I love living in Vancouver for so many reasons, ESPECIALLY this time if year because it is so incredibly beautiful in Vancouver -- it’s Cherry Blossoms Season! Pretty pink blossoms bloom for 1 -2 weeks beginning in April, (this year it’s been a week earlier than usual because of all of the gorgeous sunshine and really warm weather that we’ve been having for the past month) the city celebrates this during the annual Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival.

She says: “Other people can be loud and confident and suck, but at least they’re being heard." Without using her voice and having confidence, she ending up losing the competition and missing out on the massive […]

The #1 reason is because you’re used to being TOO nice and TOO polite. These are limiting beliefs that we formed as a child have because of how you’ve been conditioned. (We all were!) The messages that you received from your parents and in school: - Be quiet, be seen not be heard - You’re just a kid, what you have to say is not important - Sit down and stop talking - Raise your […]

You may not have a meticulously organized junk drawer or a closet full of clothes organized by color or sleeve length, but perfectionist traits may still be affecting your life—and holding you back.
