Join me for this rather reflective episode. Life is not always good and often when it's bad we feel stuck, in a hole, unable to see how things will turn around and get better. Slowly but surely we climb out and rise above and before we even realize it we are in the shining sun again. Sometimes we fall back down, but just keep holding on it'll get better, it's always darkest before dawn. This birthday was an emotional time in life that forced me to pause and see how far I've come and how much I've changed. I hope this episode can offer you some encouragement and peace, as we go through the years. I can't wait to spend many more birthdays with you my Lovebug family.

There are so many messages out there that tell us who we are, who we should be, what we need, why we should change, but I believe inside all of us there is a quiet knowing and our own compass, so this episode is here to tell you to listen to that. This episode isn't going to tell you to do anything other than believe in yourself, be kind to yourself, and do what's right for you. After the last two heavy episodes I figured it was time for some fun and encouragement, I definitely let my personality shine through a bit more on this one, so I hope this feels more like two friends catching up. Enjoy Lovebugs, and be well.

This episode serves as some raw, unfiltered truth. Sometimes even when you feel like you are doing everything right, life still does not give you a break, but it's true, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger--or at the very least makes for a good story. A bit of a more melancholy episode for this Monday, but the message remains the same no matter the mood or circumstances Lovebugs: you are worth it, you are capable, you are deserving of great things, you have the power to make a difference.
