12 Days of Christmas Affirmations

Hello amazing, wonderful people!

I just want to start off by saying, wow! I am so forever grateful to my community! There has never been a better time for living than now! We are such fortunate humans!

Let me start by introducing my idea...the first thing you need to know is that I'm slightly obsessed with making connections for people. This has been my life's work. I love to connect people with solutions to any of their ailments - however, not in the medical kind of way - in the behaviour kind of way.

Being a Behaviour Analyst - I've always met families right where they are to provide them with solutions to their concerns - I have repeated this process so much that it is now just an innate process that I take, each and every day! So if we are ever in conversation and you feel like I'm giving you something you didn't ask for, please forgive me, it's just in my genes at this point!

And so the struggle that I feel is most apparent right now is that women feel an immense burden in their lives - just that they are busy doing all the things. I also want to make it perfectly clear that when I say women I say it because that's the gender I support - but stay with me, men, because the thing is - when women are supported magically their families (including you men!) and communities and ultimately the world are supported as well! So don't give up on my so soon!

What do women want? What do women need?

1. I think a woman needs a soft place to land. They go, go, go, doing all the things and they forget about themselves sometimes, well, most of the time.

2. I think women need to feel a sense of community - rather than judgement. Hey listen, this stems from a long line of judgements that they've had since they can remember - too fat, too skinny, too smart, too talkative, too many big ideas, too much, too little, too this, too that - from all angles - family, friends, neighbours, teachers, coaches, magazines, advertisements, clothing (freaking!) racks!!!! And the list goes on. And those are just the outside judgements. So having a community of people around them that don't do that, that help to raise each other up is sooooooo important!

3. I think women need to erase their life-time of negative self-talk (brought on by item number 2 up there!) and begin to come to a place where self-forgiveness, self-love and self-compassion are on their agendas every single day. This is easier said than done, I recognize, but it's one of the most healing things that a woman can do for herself, her family and ultimately her community.

4. I think women need a place - just a place. A place to be herself. A place to fall apart. A place to put herself back together again and again and again. A place to feel accepted and a place to feel unjudged. ...I just happen to know that place!

Follow me...

Here it is...

Women Rising is a community of like-minded women who were born for greatness, but feel super bogged down by the demands of their every day. Women Rising is a community of women who fearlessly encounter circumstances that they know they will get through because they have a community of ally's trailing behind them. A sisterhood of women who are on their personal missions cheering those around them on.

Women Rising is found in different formats as well!

There's the What's App daily inspiration group - where you can currently find the 12 Days of Christmas Affirmations event happening. Join Now! This event is for those who are seeking a positive mindset every day from now until midnight on Dec 24th! So don't delay on joining, you don't want fomo!!!

There's also the Women Rising FB group where every day women support each other on their missions to find themselves in a different and better place than whence they came. Please join us!

And for those professional Behaviour Analyst's, there's the BCBA Women Rising FB group where women who are dealing with all the things associated with helping other people find their path through their challenging moments, this group is there as a soft landing to ensure that burnout is kept at bay, where it belongs! Join here!

The thing is, I love helping other people. It's my thing. I want to make everyone's journey a little smoother on this earth! I want to help women find their way through the weeds, to a calmer more peaceful version of themselves. Because, when they show up for themselves, they can show up differently and better for those around them. Their families start to become calmer beacons, their communities are better supported - all because they took the time to take care of themselves.

The thing is, joining these groups are just part of the practice of finding yourself in this crazy world, in a place to better serve others.

On my website - I have several amazing resources that can really help women feel more connected with themselves and start to feel that their personal journey is something to massage, cater to, and love just as much as they love up on everyone else around them.

But this journal is an opportunity for any women to dive deep into her own values, make decisions from that place and really get into alignment with the life that she wants to lead.
