Loving and Accepting the Real “Me”
I dont know if any of you have ever read this poem by Virginia Satir about Loving the Real “ME” but I love it and thought it fitting for those working on their codependent lack of “self -love” at this time. Ive looked for it also on a poster online for my studio and couldnt…
Why DETACHING Never Fails
I can remember when I first starting working on my codependency tools and how hard detaching was for me. If you were anything like me, (or maybe still struggle with this), I was SO addicted to controlling my loved ones (especially my guy!), like a thermostat reacting to anything they did or said and caught…
Follow Your Heart and Speak Your Truth
Ok, so I have a burning desire to share! So, I always like to look back and access the week to see what I learned, what lessons God was showing me, and where I need to step it up to grow and learn. Every week is new and surprising, as I never know what’s going…

Clearing for the Root Chakra Energy
Visualization for your Root Chakra Close your eyes. Take a few deep breaths, feeling them fill the entire body, all the way down into the toes of the feet. Bring your awareness down to the base of the spine. Begin to see a beautiful, deep red encompassing the lower body, spinning clockwise or counterclockwise.…
Wishing Others Would Change
Do you spend alot of time wishing that other people would change and just get it? We all desire better relationships. With codependent behavior, we try to change others and can use many different ways to try to do this! But you can’t force them. It will backfire every time you try! This false belief…
