This newsletter is made with love for YOU. The overworked, undervalued, under appreciated, burnt out woman riddled with anxiety, worry, and stress.

I was you. Hell, there are many days where I am right there with you!

I’ve been going back and forth about starting this newsletter. I wanted to design it to help people with quick and helpful tips.

I finally decided that I would just rip the bandaid and throw it out there and see what sticks. Like spaghetti to the wall. Too much imagery?

Probably. But but here we go!

I’m Cindy—licensed marriage & family therapist, anxiety and stress specialist, and parenting + mindset coach for women. Professionally, that’s what I do. Personally, I’m a wife, mom, sister, daughter, and proud former Disney princess (yes, really). I am also a former TV producer and feel like I have lived a few lifetimes but am grateful for the experiences that have all culminated into who I am today.

I don’t have it all figured out but every week I am fortunate enough to help my clients in focusing on improving their lives through goal oriented work and insight into themselves. I support them in becoming the absolute best versions of themselves and they truly change and inspire me as well.

Every.

Single. 

One.

Of. 

Them.

My goal? To give you real talk, real tools, and a dose of perspective to help you stress less and connect more—with yourself, your people, and your life. So I wanted to have a space to be able to share some of them with you here.

No bullshit. No smoke up your ass. Just raw and real words straight from my heart to yours.

“Changing my mind is a strength, not a weakness”

This quote right here. Got me f***d up. Initially, I thought about all the self doubt that overtakes the mind. Decision making is already so hard but then the questioning of knowing whether or not it is the “right” or “wrong” choice can lead to a spiral of second guessing.

What if we begin to see the changing of the mind as something that is not only allowed, but encouraged. You’ve heard of following your gut right? What if we begin to say that this no longer aligns with me and I’ve opted to go in a different direction? And it is OK.

No judgement. No second guessing. No shame or guilt.

There’s power in saying: I’ve changed my mind because I’ve changed.

How would things be different if you embrace the strength changing of your mind instead of holding it against you?

Reduce decision fatigue the night before

Who hates Mondays? Who hates mornings? Who hates Monday mornings??

Mornings can be super chaotic but something that can help is reducing the decision fatigue by planning your day out the night before. I get up way too stupid early on Mondays to go to the gym. I am not a gym rat. Like at all. I am not a morning person. Again, like AT ALL.

What I do know is that if I have to wake up in the morning and go to the closet to pick out what I’m going to wear while their is still crust in my eyes and it’s dark out, it ain’t happening. Cause I have to decide to hit the alarm, get my feet on the floor, get my ass outta bed blah blah blah...

It’s too many choices and decisions so how do I set myself up for success? The night before I lay my work out clothes out in the bathroom on my sink. I know if I the alarm goes off and I tell myself that I just need to get to the bathroom there’s a higher chance I am gonna make it to the gym.

This is a great strategy such as setting the lunches the night before, programming the coffee maker, setting out the kids or your clothes, meal planning, packing the work bag etc.. There’s a lot of different tasks that can be shortened or eliminated all together making for smoother mornings.

Think about your routine.

What’s something you can do the night before that will make the morning so much easier for you to get out the door?

Becoming My Best Self

Heading back to the old stomping grounds in California for a close friends wedding! They asked me to officiate! Y’all pray for me that I don’t burst into the ugly Oprah cry

The Hustle + the Heart

I recently attended the Orlando Mom collective Woman’s Wellness event as well as Mom Pros Orlando! I absolutely LOVE engaging with these powerful forces of women and am constantly inspired by their strength and insight!
