“A lot of people are undernourished, they don’t eat very well, because they don’t feel they have an appetite for it. When they’re feeling that way, it creates a vicious cycle. Because if you’re going to build those hormones that will help bring you back into balance mentally, you need the right building blocks for […]

“And so the gap contains a lot of wounding, a lot of pain, fear of rejection, fear of judgment from other people, and us misconstruing other people’s truths as if it’s the only truth. And so, therefore, it is our truth. And this is one of the biggest mistakes that a lot of empaths and […]

“I really believe in philanthropy and giving back. We give back a portion of every sale to nonprofits that support women and girls to get them educated. I really believe education can change your life, especially if you’re born abroad. And you will never have a chance of going to school because you happen to […]

“I now had this end goal in mind, I had this deeper sense of purpose on what the money could do in terms of really serving and honoring my calling. 5 years ago, I only saw the first three steps ahead of this journey. And the nudges pointed out to me that my journey was […]

“The ‘Fake it till you make it’ phrase that you often hear from others should be tweaked to the phrase, ‘Embody till you become.’” – Michelle Saya It’s definitely been just such an interesting trying time. And with 2021, I’m definitely moving forward in a more hopeful, light, and hopeful energy. However, I know that […]

As a fellow empath, I’ve been guilty of blindly diving into the deep depths of giving my unconditional attention to others without being cognizant that my emotional bucket is finite. Being an emotional anchor for others is a gift that shouldn’t be taken for granted. I believe the world would be a much kinder place if we all embrace our inner sensitivity and harness this skill to help others navigate through the ebbs and flows of life.

I’m not going to lie to your face and tell you that my year so far is perfect. But my perception and response to what occurs in my life feels more at ease as I’m happily working on leveling up from all my shortcomings. Confidence doesn’t just turn on like a switch once you’ve had a massive epiphany. Confidence is riding the spectrum of not letting the hiccups in life rob you after you change your belief systems. You move the needle and acknowledge the bigger picture of progress rather than micro-analyzing it.

I think back to some of the most trying periods of my life and realize: In the midst of feeling like I’ve lost everything, I feel the closest to myself, to divinity — to god. From death deciding to claim a friend when her life had just barely started to being cheated on by the person you thought you could trust — your mind goes numb with shock, then the rest of your body follows. It’s as if muscle memory regresses, and your knees forget to unbuckle itself — letting you crash to the floor; Your mind and body choose to not register the agony your heart is experiencing.

Ever had a girl crush? Or know someone in your life that always seems to attract high-value friendships, opportunities, and romantic relationships simply by doing nothing but be herself? Maybe it’s in the way she makes eye contact when she speaks, or the way she intentionally pauses before she breaks out into an irresistible smile that oozes feminine appeal. Or she is unapologetically herself, not shying away from expressing what she believes at the expense of fearing being rejected.

A lot of the times when we think about self-doubt, we blame the sole culprit to the internal dialogue we have in our heads. We question our ability to do things, to rise up to an opportunity where we can level up and shy away when we are confronted with the first signs of growing pains. We don’t realize that a lot of the self-doubt we experience can stem from the people we surround ourselves with. Sometimes a comment here or there from a trusted loved one — confidante, a can derail our progress rapidly because of their own scarcity mindset.
