Dealing with Pain and Hardships in Life
Not every challenge you experience leads to a Cinderella story outcome. What truly matters is what you learn from your failures and disappointing moments and how you’re able to come back from them.

Grace and How to be More Empathetic
One of my core values is grace. The meaning of this word transcends elegant movement. I use this word in the context of how to be more empathetic and kind versus expecting, assuming and demanding.
Staying True to Your Authentic Self
What’s the biggest lesson you’ve learned so far in life? I know what you’re thinking, it’s a loaded question. For me, “alignment” is the biggest life lesson I’ve had to master while building Soul Carrier. As it’s such an important life concept to me, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that The Aligned Tote is my largest bag. It’s easy for us to get off track and we often trade our authentic vision and values in certain situations for the promise of instant success or wealth. From my own experience, I can tell you trading your long term view for...
Mindfulness and How to be Present
Practicing mindfulness, you’re creating a safe space between yourself and influencing reactions. Being mindful, you’re doing the same except you’re creating that space between your soul and the noisy demands of the world. With this self-awareness, it’s the perfect time to make decisions that align with your True North.
Finding Your Handbag Essentials
Focusing on Essentialism this month brings to mind just how important the interior of our handbag is. For a moment, let your bag and its contents be a reminder of these Essentialism concepts to help find not only your handbag essentials, but life essentials
Essentialism - Finding What Is Essential
In order to deliver on our greatest purpose, and bring our grandest visions and dreams to life, we must be mindful of how we spend our energy and what we say yes to.

Monsters
The month of May is full of monsters I would rather avoid. May 21st, the date my parents were killed, May 5th my mom’s birthday, and Mother’s Day. And yet every single May, I seem to question myself for why I feel off, why I feel drained, why everything seems tainted with gloominess, and why I feel like I am moving at half the speed I normally move at.
Soul Warrior, Find Your True North
Your true north will become an internal compass pointing you towards why you were put on this Earth. Dissect every request, every choice, every fork in the road and ask is this serving my greater purpose? Square everything with your true north to find your soul’s answer.
A Letter To Myself with Words of Inspiration
Nothing about what comes next is okay. Your sister pokes you awake, you both hang upside down in the car, and she tells you to crawl out through the blown out car window. Shattered glass glitters the desert floor. Your mother’s supreme silence is juxtaposed to the howling sounds coming from your father. Paramedics use the jaws of life to saw your father’s trapped body out of the butchered SUV.
It's Not Easy Breaking Your Heart
“Not Easy” by the X ambassadors, Elle King and Wiz Khalifa has been streaming over and over as the lyrics “It’s Not Easy Breaking Your Heart” beat into my headphones. My biggest struggle in life has been having the courage to graciously, yet firmly, say No. No...No I am not interested in participating. No, I cannot be a part of this event. No, I cannot give you a free bag for your charity event. I am afraid of saying "No" equals breaking another person's heart. I cringe when I have to tell someone their services are no longer...
