Making Dreams Happen
Reflecting on the past and dreaming about the future is essential in setting intentions and focusing on your goals. Any time of the year is a perfect opportunity to reset your intentions, think about what you want your life to be like, and make your dreams into reality.
I’m grateful to share that I’ve achieved some of my long-term dreams and experienced incredible growth. Next month I am traveling to Greece. This exact trip, including spending a week living on a sailboat with other burners from around the world, has been one of my long-term goals!

I also decided to write and publish a 12-week workbook, and all the resources I needed came together seamlessly. The workbook launched last year, instantly became a best-selling book and is currently available.
Reflecting on all the magic that I’ve made happen in my life, I’m overwhelmed with gratitude. As I continue to attract amazing opportunities, one of my goals is to 10x my impact. I aim to help a large number of people transform their lives and work towards their dreams.

I recently had the privilege of speaking for Summit Cleaning and gave a presentation on “Personal Leadership Through Self-Mastery” for her employees. It was a powerful session where we talked about the core elements of self-mastery and how they contribute to personal and professional success. Tetiana is modeling excellent leadership to provide amazing opportunities to her Summit Cleaning team!
Key Insights from Personal Leadership Through Self-Mastery
In the presentation, we explored three fundamental qualities of self-mastery:
- Self-Awareness
Self-awareness forms the foundation of personal growth. By understanding ourselves better, we gain confidence, enhance our relationships, and navigate challenges with greater ease. Through awareness and reflection, individuals can unlock their full potential and foster deeper connections with others.
- Emotional Intelligence
Emotional intelligence is the ability to recognize, understand, and manage our emotions effectively. By cultivating compassion for both ourselves and others, we create a positive work environment where empathy, resilience, and collaboration thrive.
- Self-Love
Self-love is not selfish; it’s essential for personal well-being and success. Integrity, alignment between words and actions, and a commitment to self-care are crucial components of self-love. By prioritizing self-nourishment through morning routines and positive affirmations, individuals can cultivate a mindset of abundance and joy.
A Leader Who Invests in Her Team
Companies that invest in the growth and well-being of their employees often stand out as beacons of excellence in their respective industries. Summit Cleaning, led by Tetiana Kolcheva, exemplifies this commitment to employee growth by organizing enriching presentations geared towards personal development.
By inviting speakers like myself to share insights and strategies for personal growth, Tetiana demonstrates her dedication to fostering a thriving workplace culture where individuals are empowered to reach their full potential.

A Rising Tide Lifts All Boats – A Story of How My Participation in a Local Chamber Supports Me
As a member of the Arvada Chamber of Commerce, my professional and personal life has undergone a profound transformation. What began as a simple decision to join a local business network quickly evolved into an amazing experience filled with new connections, opportunities, and personal growth.
One of the most significant impacts of being part of the Arvada Chamber has been the relationships I’ve built. Through chamber events, networking mixers, and collaborative projects, I’ve formed friendships and connections with fellow entrepreneurs and business owners. These connections extend beyond mere networking; they are a support system, a source of inspiration, and a community of like-minded individuals..
My involvement in the chamber has opened doors to countless speaking opportunities. Whether it’s presenting at chamber events, participating in panel discussions, or leading workshops, I’ve been able to share my expertise, passions, and insights with a diverse audience of local entrepreneurs. These speaking engagements not only elevate my visibility within the business community but also allow me to contribute meaningfully to discussions that matter to me.

Celebrating Couples Appreciation Month: Why Showing Gratitude Matters!
When was the last time you expressed your appreciation for your partner? When it comes to relationships the little things really do matter – taking a moment to show gratitude can make all the difference in your relationship!
It’s easy to let moments of appreciation slip by unnoticed. But in reality, these small acts of gratitude can have a big impact on our relationships. Since April is Couples Appreciation Month, let’s take a moment to reflect on the importance of expressing appreciation for our partners.
Why Showing Appreciation Matters:
- Strengthening Bonds: Taking the time to express appreciation creates a deeper connection between partners.
- Boosting Confidence: When we express appreciation for our partners, we’re not just making them feel good in the moment – we’re boosting their confidence and reinforcing their sense of self-worth.
- Building Trust: Appreciation is the foundation of trust in any relationship. When we feel appreciated, we’re more likely to trust our partner and feel secure in the relationship.
Creative Ways to Show Appreciation:
- Write a Heartfelt Card: Take the time to write a heartfelt card listing all the things you love and appreciate about your partner.
- Pen a Poem: Get creative and pen a poem expressing your admiration and gratitude for your partner’s presence in your life.
- Plan a Surprise Dinner: Treat your partner to a surprise dinner or their favorite meal, accompanied by words of love and appreciation. It’s a thoughtful gesture that shows you’ve put thought and effort into creating a special moment just for them.
- Surprise Them with Flowers or a Gift: Surprise your partner with their favorite flowers or a small gift, just because. It’s a sweet and unexpected gesture that shows you’re thinking of them and appreciate all they do.
- Create a Playlist: Put together a playlist of songs that remind you of your partner and share it as a token of your affection. Music has a unique way of expressing emotions, and curating a playlist just for them is a thoughtful way to show you care.
This month, let’s take the opportunity to express our gratitude for the special people in our lives. Whether it’s an idea from the list above or something else, let’s take the time to show our partners just how much they mean to us. After all, it’s the little things that truly matter in the end. Let’s spread love and gratitude together!
Escape the comparison trap in your relationships!
Let’s talk about real life versus reel on social media.
Many times what we see on social media is often a curated highlight reel – carefully selected moments and filtered snapshots of people’s lives. The perfect date night with the perfect partner. The perfect day at the beach.
It’s not reality, it’s more like a magic show, filled with smoke and mirrors.
Real Life vs. Highlight Reel
Sometimes it can feel like this in our relationships, especially if they’re new. You’re so worried about impressing the other person that you’re only showing them the highlight reel side of you.
Fear of judgment or rejection keeps you from showing up as the whole authentic version of yourself. This can happen in intimate relationships, friendships, and professional relationships like networking.
But here’s the catch about the highlight reel – what you see online is just a glimpse, not the whole picture. Behind the scenes, there’s a tapestry of real-life moments, struggles, and challenges.
It’s easy to fall into the trap of comparison, thinking everyone else has it all figured out while we may feel like we’re stumbling through a maze.
Nobody’s life or relationship is as perfect as what they show on their highlight reel. Whatever you’re experiencing in your life right now is okay, even if it’s not to your preference of what you want.
Let’s not forget that life is beautifully imperfect, and it’s okay not to have it all together. Embrace your journey, celebrate your victories, and remember that social media is just one chapter, not the entire story.
The Comparison Trap Leads to Self-Judgment Spirals
In a world where it feels like everyone else’s grass is greener, it’s crucial to remember that our perspectives may be playing tricks on us.
Escape the comparison trap in your relationships! Social media’s curated highlights can distort reality.
Looking at pictures of the “perfect” relationships. Seeing groups of girlfriends going out together and longing to be in those groups. We all look at pictures of other people on social media and think to ourselves “I wish I had their life” or “I wish I was in a relationship like that.”
Comparing our lives to others can lead to unnecessary self-judgment and jealousy. Social media’s curated highlights can make this struggle even more real.
Many of us are playing a social media induced judgment and comparison game with others, thinking that other people have it better than we do. Wishing we had what they have.
This leads to a negative mindset and judgment spiral that just brings us further away from what we want to create!
We Have Evolved to be Focused on Negativity
Our brains are wired to magnify the negative, making that 20% seem like 60%. It’s a survival trait from our caveman ancestors who thrived by focusing on potential threats.
The cavemen that were more focused on the negative aspects were more likely to react strongly to negative stimuli and they lived long enough to pass down their genres. So we’re literally evolutionarily designed to be hyper focused on the negative.
Rewiring Your Brain to be Positive
The way to short circuit this is to focus on the positive. But we are often so stuck in the same feelings and beliefs it can be hard to switch our mindset!
Instead of longing for others’ seemingly perfect lives, shift your focus to gratitude.
A positive mindset makes you MAGNETIC! It attracts amazing people, love, and opportunities into your life.
How do you shift to thinking more positively? You can start by practicing gratitude today,it’s a powerful tool to shift your mindset. Count your blessings, appreciate the little things, and recognize that your life is unique and valuable.
Living authenticity, embracing imperfections in ourselves and our partners, and realizing that behind the smoke and mirrors lies the true, unfiltered magic of life.
Ready for a positive change in your life?
Do you wish that you could rewire your brain for more positivity? Let’s chat! I can help shift your thoughts to a brighter space.
I work with neuroscience based tools so you can shift your attitude to be more positive and wake up everyday seeing the glass half full.

A Guide to Cultivate Self-Love
Self-love is your superpower! Increasing your self-loves is one of the most powerful things you can do to become magnetic to attract people and experiences you want into your life.
Our culture has conditioned us to think we’re not good enough, not loveable as we are. This has helped feed the capitalism monster, but has devastated our sense of self-love. In a world that teaches us to criticize ourselves, it’s easy to overlook the importance of appreciating and nurturing the person within. We are sharing practical and mindful approaches to foster self-love to improve.
This month we’re doing a deep dive into self love, the last blog was all about the benefits of self love if you haven’t read that article yet read it here!!
Self-love isn’t just a feel-good concept; it’s a powerful force that positively impacts every aspect of your life. When you truly love and appreciate yourself, you unlock more happiness, confidence, and resilience. The benefits are seen through your relationships, work, and overall well-being. It’s not about being perfect, but about embracing your uniqueness and developing a positive relationship with yourself.
Easy to Use Tips to Build Your Self-Love
Mindful Self Gratitude Practices
Start a gratitude journal to reflect on and appreciate the positive aspects of yourself. Everyday for at least 30 days, write down 10 things you love about yourself, are proud of about yourself, or reasons why you’re amazing. The trick is to not repeat anything you’re writing down. This causes you to get creative at looking at all your positive qualities and automatically trains your brain to focus on all the ways you’re amazing. Acknowledge your strengths and accomplishments, creating a healthier relationship with yourself. This practice helps shift your focus towards the good parts of you, fostering a sense of contentment and self-love.
Empowering Self-Talk
Replace self-criticism with self-compassion. Name the critic in your head to acknowledge that it’s not you. Every time you start to catch yourself being critical of yourself, pause in that moment and say “Ok, I hear you (name of critic).” After that rub your hands together or wiggle your toes in your shoes to ground you and bring you back to your body. Then consciously refocus your energy and attention on what you want to be thinking and feeling, the best possible outcome of the situation.
Be Your Own Cheerleader
When a little kid is learning a new skill, you praise them a lot for every little step they take towards that skill. Even if they don’t achieve it, you encourage them and support them into trying again. Take this approach with yourself. Giving yourself constant kudos may seem silly at first, but our brains are wired to respond strongly to positive affirmations and positive conditioning. Throughout the day, take the time to give yourself compliments and cheering yourself on will consciously engage in positive internal dialogue. If you practice this enough, the positive dialogue will automatically start replacing the negative dialogue in your head. And it’ll make it easier to do the mindful self gratitude practice above.
Nature Connection and Movement
Spending time in mother nature is one of the most beneficial activities you can do for yourself. When you spend more time outdoors and engage in activities that make your body feel good. Being in nature actually has a deeply grounding effect on our bodies because it actually helps us release a build up of positive ions in our body, especially if we sit, lay down, or walk barefoot in the grass. If you don’t have easy access to the outdoors, don’t sweat! Just moving your body is enough to get positive emotions flowing! Whether it’s a walk in the park or turning on your favorite song for a dance session in your living room, movement and nature contribute to your overall well-being and improve your self-love.
Digital Detox
Unplug from electronic devices for at least an hour daily. Disconnecting from the digital world allows you to reconnect with yourself, fostering a deeper sense of presence and self-awareness. We’re so trained to be addicted to our phones. One day I had to turn mine off for an hour and I swear I picked it up like 10 times – talk about an unconscious habit! We are conditioned to look to social media, short videos, and phone games to make us feel good. They are actually psychologically designed to give us just enough dopamine that we feel good for a moment and come back for more feel good brain chemicals. The problem is this is an empty trap that keeps us scrolling, watching, locked into our screens in a way that doesn’t serve us. In many ways it actually feeds our negative emotions to see other people in pretty locations on instagram, looking like they’re living a perfect life, causing us to feel like we’re lacking. When we cultivate a habit of putting down our phones for a little while each day, we can connect with loved ones IRL and nurture hobbies that leave us feeling fulfilled instead of feeling empty.
In this comprehensive guide to cultivating self-love, we’ve shared practical and mindful approaches to help you go on a transformative journey towards embracing and nurturing the incredible person within you. Remember, the journey to self-love is ongoing, and by committing to these practices, you’re investing in your own growth and happiness. Stay tuned for part 3 on even more tips!
Unlock Your Success with this Secret!
In a world that often focuses on external achievements and validations, the importance of self-love cannot be overstated. Loving yourself is not just a buzzword; it’s an important practice that impacts your mental, emotional, and even physical well-being. In this blog post, we’ll explore why self-love matters and the benefits it brings to your life. Stay tuned for part 2 next week where we’ll educate you about how to love yourself more and share the tools needed to deepen your self-love journey.
How you treat yourself on a day-to-day basis sets the tone for your relationships, self-confidence, and overall well-being. Embracing self-love allows you to show up in the world as the best version of yourself, creating healthier connections, setting boundaries, and creating a positive impact.
The Impact of Self-Love on Success:
Your level of self-love has a direct correlation with your success in life. When you regularly practice self-love, you enhance your mental and emotional health, leading to increased confidence, resilience, and a more positive internal dialogue. These factors not only shape your personal fulfillment but also influence how you interact with others, paving the way for success in various aspects of your life.
Everyone (Unconsciously) Knows Your Level of Self-Love:
Have you ever noticed that you can sometimes tell someone’s mood without even speaking to them. The emotions they’re feeling is creating body language and other non-verbal signals that give us a vibe of that person’s emotions. This is because of our mirror neurons!
Mirror neurons are a part of our brain that automatically picks up the physiological and emotional state of the people we interact with. It’s the reason why we yawn when other people yawn and often end up mirroring people’s body postures back at them in a conversation. These mirror neurons even change psychological responses in our body like heart and breathing rates.
Yes, Even if They’re Not Aware of it, People Can Literally Read Your Mind:
Whatever we are thinking about ourselves on the inside is actually being reflected on the outside and other people are able to pick up on this. When you’re living in a state of self-love, that vibration is felt by others around you and it makes you instantly magnetic and attractive to others. Because the vibration of self-love has the frequency of love, you’ll naturally and effortlessly attract more positive situations in your life.
Unfortunately, the opposite is true as well. When you’re not in a place of self-love, no matter what emotions, words, or messages you’re consciously communicating to others, there is still a background signal communicating that you’re not in a place of self-love.
This unconscious self-sabotage repels people and positive situations away from you and attracts more negative situations into your life. Think about the last time you interacted with someone and you could obviously sense that they were having a bad day. You immediately want to get away from them, right? This is why increasing our self-love is essential for every aspect of our lives!
Benefits of Embracing Self-Love:
- Increased Self-Confidence: Enhance your self-love for a huge boost to believe in yourself and your abilities.
- Less Stress in Life: High levels of self-love make it easier to navigate challenges with resilience.
- Authentic Self-Expression: Embrace self-love to unleash your true voice, allowing for genuine and meaningful self-expression.
- Living in Alignment: Align your actions and choices with your authentic self, leading to a more fulfilling and purposeful life.
- Better Health: Prioritize self-love to nurture your physical and mental well-being, contributing to a healthier lifestyle.
- More Happiness: Cultivate self-love as the cornerstone of your happiness, fostering a positive and joyful outlook on life.
- Deepen Connections: Enhance your capacity for deeper connections, fostering genuine relationships.
- Healthy Boundaries: Empower yourself to set and maintain healthy boundaries, safeguarding your well-being.
- Increased Positive Impact: Radiate positivity into your interactions, creating a harmonious environment around you.
- Increased Success in Your Job or Business: Elevate your self-worth through self-love, paving the way for increased success, wealth, and a greater positive impact in your professional endeavors.
In a world where success is often measured externally, the internal practice of self-love is a powerful tool. Self-love impacts not only your mental, emotional, and physical well-being but also plays a crucial role in the overall trajectory of your life. Recognizing the influence of self-love on success, relationships, and personal fulfillment is the first step toward creating a positive impact in every aspect of your life. Stay tuned for part 2 of this blog, where we’ll talk about the practical ways to infuse more self-love into your daily routine, creating a life of positivity and genuine connection.
