My Life Isn't Perfect
Aug 07, 2026
I won’t sit here and pretend that I have it all figured out or that my life is perfect.
In fact, it’s not.
Although there are days when I like to pretend it is.
Some mornings, I don't want to get out of bed...
This morning, I procrastinated for a couple of hours.
I had to convince myself to get on my yoga mat and do my 30-minute upper-body workout, even though everything in my head was telling me not to. After it was finished, I immediately felt better, and was so glad I pressed play.
Yesterday, I found myself eating Double Stuffed Oreos that literally tasted like heaven. So... no regrets there.
Some nights, I wake up in the middle of the night worrying about my kids while I hear my husband snoring away... Eventually, I get so annoyed that I whack him with a pillow. I even called him an idiot under my breath the other night for not putting a fresh garbage bag in the can after he emptied it. (This literally drives me mental and he does it every single time.)
I also hang onto things a lot longer than I should, and sadly, I’m still healing wounds from my childhood and still grieving some big losses in my own life.
Even just writing this brings a little tear to my eye simply because I’ve worked hard on myself over the years, but some things...
Well, they take time.
And they’re hard to let go of, even when we so badly want to.
Some things stay with us forever, and we simply need to learn how to make peace with them and move forward.
Again, this too takes time.
I still have a really hard time spending money on myself, but would buy absolutely anything for my kids. I'm still unlearning this and healing this wound, because let me tell you... That's a total mind fuck and it's actually quite a painful way to live life.
There are days when I lock myself in the bathroom for a little time out just so that no one will see my crying and there are days where I question my worth or catch myself looking in the mirror and calling myself mean names.
Oh, and sometimes I still catch myself doing things I don't want to do just to impress other people...
Just the other day, I wore a dress to go meet with my accountant because you know.... "I had to look the part," and truth be told, I felt like an old fucking granny, so we won’t ever be doing that ever again, and the dress immediately went into the donate pile.
Honestly, most days I don't even want to wear a bra.
So, why am I telling you this?
Well, because I want you to see me as someone who is a real human...
Who just like you is living a spiritual life while trying to thrive in a world that sometimes doesn't make a lot of sense.
I think it’s so easy to look at others and think that they have it all figured out.
That somehow they are different or better than we are.
At least sometimes I still find myself thinking or believing this lie but deep down, we are all the exact same.
Except some of us have learned to hide it a little better.
Some will do everything in their power to show no signs of weakness.
While some have lived their entire lives hiding from their own greatness.
The truth is, without God in my life and my connection to spirit, I'm very weak and not very strong.
In fact, I got really tired of always being the "strong" one...
I've come to learn that when I put my faith and trust into something bigger that myself, somehow my life becomes easy and everything just works out.
I don’t want you to ever read my emails, join my programs or read my books and think that I’ve got it all figured out because, the truth is, I don’t.
I don't believe any of us do and if someone says that they do, they're probably full of shit.
I think we are all just waking up each and every single day and simply trying our very best and doing what we can with what we have.
That’s why I created The Joy Journey.
Not because I thought others would need it....
But because there was a moment in my life where I needed it.
It’s a 21-day gratitude challenge because the truth is...
It’s easy to wake up and just focus on what’s wrong, what's missing, or what’s not working in our life.
It's easy to just do everything alone and not ask for any help.
It’s, however, a very intentional daily practice to wake up each morning and choose to focus on what’s right, what we do have, and what is working in our life.
And to reach out and ask for help when you need it.
So, if you want to join, you can reserve your spot here.
You can get started today, or you can get started on Monday.
I unlocked instant access today.
Some people want to wait until Monday.
Other people want to start right away.
Some people actually enjoy waking up feeling miserable, exhausted, and like to blame others for all of the chaos, problems, and drama in their life.
Either way, the choice is yours.
I know this 21 day challenge made a tremendous impact in my own life and the lives of others.
All you gotta do is join here, commit to 5 minutes each morning for 21 days, and just see for yourself.
Have a beautiful weekend.
