⁣I was 11 when I fell in love with reading and books. Old, I know, but with two learning disabilities, reading was hard AF! ⠀
⠀⠀⠀
Since my discovery of the written word, my love has grown and grown, finally morphing into a dream of owning a library. ⠀
⠀⠀⠀
So, when we first walked through our now home, I knew which room I was going to renovate to make this a reality. Luckily for me, my partner felt the same. Granted this picture doesn’t show it all off, but this is my special section of our sacred space. In the afternoon, the sunlight dances along the walls and creates the perfect little reading nook. ⠀
⠀⠀⠀
With that said, what recommendations do you have for me? My tbr is looking sparse! Comment below 😎⠀

⁣ You caught me! I failed hard at...⠀
⠀⠀⠀
See, no, that’s not what we’re gonna do. ⠀
⠀⠀⠀
Failure is a lesson, not a dead end. It’s a way for us to grow and learn so much about who we are in the worst of situations. The trap of wallowing in failure is that we tend to get stuck there. And how is that going to propel us forward? ⠀
⠀⠀⠀
It’s not. It’s a momentum stealer. Soul crusher. Robber of joy. ⠀
⠀⠀⠀
Next time you experience failure, ask yourself:⠀
🌟What did you learn? ⠀
🌟How’d you grow? ⠀
🌟What can you take away from it?⠀
🌟What did you discover about yourself? ⠀
⠀⠀⠀
Reframing is a powerful tool that can help you see the experience for what it was: a glimpse of what you’re made out of and where you *should* be. ⠀
⠀⠀⠀
What’s one time you “failed” and discovered something new about yourself? ⠀

⁣When potential clients call me, there’s alway

⁣When potential clients call me, there’s always this hesitation on whether or not they should bring in any or all sexual partners. My answer is always: ⠀
⠀⠀⠀
🌟What are your goals in #sextherapy? ⠀
⠀⠀⠀
🌟Are you looking to explore with a partner(s)? ⠀
⠀⠀⠀
🌟 Do you need a safe place to question your sexuality? ⠀
⠀⠀⠀
🌟 Do you have (a) partner(s) currently?⠀
⠀⠀⠀
🌟 What is it you believe you should focus on? Does it involve other people you’d feel comfortable brining to session? If not, why? ⠀
⠀⠀⠀
And those questions are just the tip of the iceberg. ⠀
⠀⠀⠀
So at the end of the day, my clients get to decide what the best course of action is and we figure that out together. ⠀

⁣Care to hear more about why I never had the courage to write before?⠀
⠀⠀⠀
For once, I feel safe admitting that words and I were never quite best friends. I’ve openly talked about having two learning disabilities and that’s part of the reason. The other part is that I never had the confidence in myself to do it. ⠀
⠀⠀⠀
🌟What did I have to say that hasn’t been said already? ⠀
🌟Who was I to write a book? ⠀
🌟Would anyone even read a book about aliens? Let alone mental health?⠀
⠀⠀⠀
Though these questions don’t go away, I’ve learned to make peace with my inner critic. I can’t stop the voice or turn it off, but I can choose to listen or not. ⠀
⠀⠀⠀
Lately, I’ve been choosing to ignore the negativity. It doesn’t help me create and it sure as hell doesn’t help me live happily. It’ll always be there, that’s how we’re wired, but it doesn’t need to control my work or me. ⠀
⠀⠀⠀
I’m embracing the critic and silencing them through action and determination. After all, I’m writing for me and the readers that need the messages found in @thestarlessseries.⠀
⠀⠀⠀
What’s holding you back from your dreams? ⠀

⁣I’m a mega fan of #selfcare I talk about it a lot with my clients and make sure I practice it daily to be the best version of me. ⠀
⠀⠀⠀
I’ve been using @bedtanicals for a while and all through Covid-19 It’s been a game changer. I’m already a fan of CBD and bath time fun, so to have these worlds collide, spectacular! ⠀
⠀⠀⠀
Female owned POC and organically sourced? Need I say more? Head on over and try all kinds of fun products, you won’t be sorry!
