RADICAL HONESTY (what it is & how it will expand your self growth)
One practice that can expand your level of self growth is radical honesty.
What is Radical Honesty?
Radical Self honesty calls the suppressed parts of self to the surface. It’s a practice that asks you to be 100% authentic (or as truthful as you’re capable of at the moment) with yourself. Especially the parts of self that are easy to blow off, ignore or hide because of the uncomfortable emotions and feelings connected with those parts or life experiences.
At some time or another, we’ve all probably experienced the struggle that comes with opening up about certain topics and emotions that are uncomfortable and sensitive. It’s like touching an injured physical part of yourself. It’s tender and sensitive to the touch until it heals.
The emotional parts of self are no different. We just can’t physically see our emotionally wounded parts, which makes it easier for some of us to compartmentalize them or ignore what needs healing and attention.
From first glance this concept can seem trivial, simple even. You might even wonder why I’m writing a whole blog post on the topic of honesty. I mean, what more is there to say? Be honest with yourself, simple, right?
W E L L………
From my experience as a therapist, one thing that I’ve continuously witnessed through the years is how hard it can be for some of us to see and face “the truth.” The truth meaning the hard facts of what did happen, what is happening and what it all means and where it has placed us on this ever moving, giant, blue & green colored (as pictured in my head) ball called Earth.
Why I’m writing this post: So you stop or don’t start hiding from your truth.
Radical honesty, however simple it may seem to some, is something that many of us hide from.
Many of us do hide from our uncomfortable parts. Many of us live our entire lives hiding.
Some of us never get to a moment in our lives where we can fully see and accept the truth of what happened or didn’t happen and where we are now because of how everything has fallen into place.
The concept of radical honesty is vast. It’s big. It requires bravery to admit the truth. Especially a truth that’s dirty, scary and is filled with shame and embarrassment. Facing such a thing is a huge feat. Please don’t downplay it and honor this courageous act on your part.
Why Practice Radical Honesty?
Until we stop hiding from our truth, it will be merely impossible to not distract, avoid or numb out. We have to keep up our unhealthy distractions to continue to black out the screams coming from our unhealed parts.
Not accepting what is or what happened is where addictions are born. It’s where disconnected relationships live, primarily the disconnect within yourself. So, to say it straight, being fully transparent with yourself is a key ingredient to an expanded self.
“Your ability to see yourself through the lens of radical honesty is the foundation of emotional maturity, and this vantage point will help you make decisions from a place of active clarity, instead of a place of passive unconsciousness.” - Lighter, Yung Pueblo (love him!)
3 Major Benefits of Radical Honesty
More clarity within. More clarity within allows you to make life decisions and every day choices that align with your true self, which, (you guessed it) will lead to results that are more fit for you. Opportunities, people and life will play out in a way that’s more in tune with who you are at the core.
Facing what’s scary and hard is what allows “it” to lose it’s power over you. The hardest part of facing what’s scary is building yourself up to face it or do it. However, usually, once we get ourselves to do just that, (confront the beast) what was so scary looses it’s power over us. (*Also, usually, it’s never as scary as we thought. )
I encourage you to, little by little, go toward your fear and, over time, with intention and doing the work, your fear will diminish.
You will attract more authentic people and experiences to you because authentic self honesty attracts authentic external honesty. Simply put; Honesty internally attracts honesty externally. It’s that simple. It’s that magnetic.
Problems That Arise When Were Not Radically Honest With Ourselves
The truth is, whatever we don’t fully heal doesn’t miraculously go away. As we have all heard, the only way out is through and so is true with difficult emotions. Anything that we haven’t fully processed will manifest and be expelled in some other way, shape or form. Repressed emotions can be expressed through your anxiety, your anger, your over eating, your overuse of alcohol, your lack of self confidence or your depression. Need I say more?
This post is to encourage you to look toward the parts of self that need and are calling for your attention. In order for any issue, past trauma or stuck emotion to heal, it needs to “face the light” in order to be tended to and laid to rest peacefully within.
My intention for guiding you toward your “uncomfortable” aspects of self is, not to torture you, rather it’s to expand you. My intention is to help you heal and get beyond the blocks that are holding you back.
(Before I go further, I would love to clarify the following: *This post is not focused toward persons who have experienced high levels of trauma. In the case of high trauma it’s important to work with an experienced professional to unpack unprocessed traumatic events.)
Who is this post for?
This post is for the person whose functioning, yet is experiencing a lack of fulfillment and blockage, whether conscious or not, due to a denial of the truth. Meaning, a person whom either lacks self awareness or is consciously choosing to deny the truth of what has happened or what is happening in their present moment experience.
Are you with me? I hope so, because looking at something that has been buried away within can be really intimidating, but worth the work.
In order for you to identify your unique “hard truth(s),” I will ask you to spend some time looking at any avoidant behaviors or topics where you experience resistance. *Note: Usually, distractions, busyness, addictions and negative habits are formed, unconsciously or not, for us to avoid what we don’t want to admit, deal with or look at. Generally, we avoid in order to numb out difficult aspects of ourselves. This is a defense mechanism in order to keep a difficult truth away. This is what leads us down a road of struggle.
Oh, the struggle is real too.
When we have a habit of turning our attention away from the truth, negative habits & distractions build, while creating major havoc in our lives.
Questions for Self Reflection & Exploration of Blocked Truths
Here are 4 questions to help you explore and potentially help you discover the areas of your own life where you may be hiding or avoiding “the truth.”
What topics (if any) do you avoid when they come up? (in life, in conversation?)
What do you do to avoid thinking about or talking about such a topic? (change the subject, push it away, etc)
Are you experiencing any symptoms that are effecting your emotional and/or mental wellness? (ex: trouble sleeping, anxiety, depression, lack of energy, low self concept, feeling lost, etc)
Are there any insights that you have about your behaviors or symptoms which you intuitively know are connected with a tendency to pull away from your truth?
“Okay! I’m ready! How do I practice radical honesty?”
Questions to Help You Untangle Your Hidden or Rejected Truths
How do you face things that feel too scary and difficult to face?
Generally speaking, little by little and maybe with the help of a professional depending on the level of resistance and blockage around “your truth” and lack of acceptance of what is. Start with respecting and accepting where you’re at in terms of your relationship with the truth. It’s like anything in life that feels really intimidating or nearly impossible, you just go one step at a time and build on that.
Also, increasing your level of introspection, self awareness and emotional intelligence will help you gain the tools and confidence to go toward the “scary” stuff.
How do you accept things that feel impossible to accept?
It might take awhile to find and arrive at “acceptance.” It’s a process to work through hard issues, losses and moments in our lives where there is resistance. Begin with accepting where you are currently. Whether it’s pretty or not. The concept of shift and change begins with acceptance.
What are strategies that can help me face hard emotions around the “truth” of my current circumstances & past?
Make sure your words are matching your actions. Does what you say match what you do? Are you telling yourself and others the truth (a fact) or a story (a fantasy?) Start practicing radical honesty by being truthful on a daily basis with simple things.
Allow space for difficult emotions to come up, process and be experienced so they can pass. Allow a figurative “winter season” to be there. You might find yourself wanting more quiet or more sleep during this period of pushing through hard emotions. Heads up: Doing this work can feel exhausting not only mentally, but physically too.
In a nutshell; Be gentle & patient with yourself.
All my feedback speaks generally to how to start doing the deep inner work that being radically honest requires. There’s work to be done beyond this blog post, but if you feel like these words have opened something up for you, there are a lot of ways to continue to build your level of self to further explore your suppressed parts.
For some this might mean seeking out a licensed mental health professional. Some might want to start with getting their self care basics in order (see below.) Some might want to sit with the words from this post and see what opens up from allowing this material to sink in.
Here are some general practices, that when done consistently and when they become a lifestyle, really help to balance your energy and help you expand to your best version of self.
Practices that Encourage Further Self Growth & Awareness
find a mental health therapist to further explore (if appropriate & the right next step for you)
develop a journaling practice
develop a meditation practice
move your body consistently
eat balanced & well
be mindful of your alcohol & caffeine intake
practice healthy boundaries with Yourself & Others
work on exploring your self identity
be consistent with your sleep schedule
(All these “little” things have the potential to lead to big change. I’ve seen clients change one small habit that, overtime, led to a massive life change. *Note: Don’t dumb down what tiny small shifts in everyday habits can do for your life.)
As always, thank you for reading. Thank you for being here with me. Truly. I’m always listening, so don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions, topic suggestions or whatever else I can help with. Cheers my friends!

8 Habits to Ditch If You Have Anxiety
If you struggle with anxiety and worry then you know how awful it can feel to be stuck in your head. A racing mind that’s filled with thoughts of fear and worst case scenario’s is a pretty solid way to ruin your day.
Below are 8 habits that tend to be traps for our anxiety. With awareness around negative habits, we then have the tools to start creating new thinking patterns, which can highly reduce and eventually eliminate our worrisome thoughts.
Let’s begin.
8 Habits To Ditch If You Have Anxiety
1. The Habit of Overthinking, Over Analyzing or Over planning
When we struggle with anxiety we tend to have the false sense that if we think hard enough, we’ll find a “solution” to the “problem.” This mentality keeps our minds going in circles, in the hopes that we will land on the solution, which will make our anxiety go away. Not true my friend. This can be mad making and there’s no end to this cycle unless we consciously stop it.
When it comes down to it, over thinking, over analyzing and over planning are all ways that we attempt to control the outcomes of our lives. Planning is great in terms of having things you need or want to enjoy an event. However, over planning can create a fixed and rigid schedule that doesn’t leave any room for life to happen. Practicing the perspective that there’s not a “right” outcome to any given situation can help our busy minds find a place to rest. Phew.
2. The Habit of Rigidity
Rigid thinking keeps us small and unexposed. When we’re rigid we tend to think “all or none” about people, places and things. Our answers, basically, come down to a hard yes or no. In the world of psychology, this in coined “black & white thinking,” which keeps us locked in our comfort zone. Although, the truth is that we grow the most outside our comfort zone.
Many aspects of life are grey. Grey meaning, the answer or solution lies somewhere in the middle. Sometimes things are grey before they become clear. Cutting things off quickly and without exploring keeps us from trying on all the other flavors that life has to offer. The practice of believing that there’s more than one way of doing life while allowing for grey can introduce more flexibility and flow to our world.
3. The Habit of Getting Lost in Assumptions, Mind reading and Fortune Telling
Many relationships have conflict and face hardships because of assumptions. If you really break it down, assumptions are made up stories that we come up with in an attempt to understand why things are the way they are.
Remember this friends: Assumptions are not facts; Assumptions are stories.
The huge issue with assumptions is that, very often, we believe our assumptions to be true and we react as if they are “the truth.” (It’s like assuming it’s cold and rainy, so you put on your winter gear, when in fact it’s 90 degrees and sunny. Like, what are you doing?!) That would be extremely uncomfortable to go about the day in this dress if it is, in fact, super hot out.
I relate assumptions to “mind reading” and “fortune telling” because when we believe our assumptions to be true, that’s exactly what we’re doing; predicting the future with no basis of truth. The problem is that, although creative, our assumptions are often not self serving and based on fear.
A great way to avoid getting caught up into a web of assumptions is to fact check and react to facts, not stories. If you don’t know what the facts are, instead of assuming, ask questions. Questions help us gather more information about any given situation so we can see it with more truth and clarity.
4. The Habit of Catastrophizing
What is catastrophizing, you ask?
Well, basically it’s believing that our own self defined worst outcome of a given situation is coming our way. It’s an, often, very exaggerated, negative outcome of a scenario. The problem is that our minds can’t decipher the difference between our mind made “catastrophe” and reality.
Two ways of thinking that lead to negative stories are thinking in “what if’s” or engaging in “worst case scenario” thinking. (Yes, these are both legit terms in the world of psychology. These ways of thinking also both classify as cognitive distortions, which are simply ways that our mind convinces us of something that isn't really true. They are inaccurate and negatively based. Cognitive distortions are are exactly what they sound to be, which is “distorted.” When we see things through a distorted lens we can’t see the truth.
In order to ground our minds from getting caught up in false realities that upset and create fear, it’s essential to focus on facts. (Yup, here we are again with focusing on facts.) The one thing that can really help extinguish a distorted way of thinking are facts. We can “what if” all day long, although, a fact is a fact and it’s difficult to combat the truth once it’s presented as a fact. When in doubt get out of your fear based story and focus on facts.
5. The Habit of Using Emotional Reasoning to Make Conclusions
When we lead with our emotions without putting them in check, we can really rev up our anxiety. Believing that how we feel is the “truth” of a matter can lead us down a mental rabbit hole.
The distortion of emotional reasoning can be summed up by the statement, “If I feel that way, therefore it must be true.” Just because something seems a certain way, doesn’t mean it’s true. When situations are hitting at our heart stings, it’s important to give ourselves some time and space from the event so we don’t make decisions and conclusions when we’re “in” our emotions. Cool down and give a situation some space before moving forward.
6. The Habit of Regret
Dwelling on how you think something “should have” been will leave you nothing but miserable. I’m sure you’re aware of this if you’ve ever tortured yourself when something didn’t go the way it “should have” (from your perspective.)
Regret is a stinger. Feeling suffocated and trapped by regret is a quick way to feel disappointed about your life.
If you struggle with regret, please soak in this little ditty, from me to you.
We have to trust that our past self made the best decision possible, given the time of life, the specific situation and the emotions that were present for us in the moment. We have to trust that how we responded to or acted in a past situation was the best that we could have done given our emotional capacity paired with the situation at the time.
Life is meant for us to grow and learn and we’re definitely not going to roll through it without ups, downs, mistakes and sorrows. Please accept the path that has lead you to where you are, right now, reading this. (That doesn’t mean you have to necessarily like it so much, but finding acceptance will release you and help things push forward.) If you don’t find acceptance for where you are now and get caught in believing that things should and ought to be different, you will suffer greatly….. and there ain’t no time for that babe.
7. The Habit of Going too Fast & Being too Busy
Rushing and juggling too much on your plate are main triggers for the anxious. There’s a fine line between being “productive” busy and being “too busy.” Your personal quest is to figure out where that fine line of balance falls for you. Pay attention to where you start making mistakes you normally wouldn’t make or where you’re showing up in a way that’s “unlike” you. These can be signs that you’re going too quickly and can benefit from slowing your roll.
8. The Habit of Not Paying Attention to Your Sleep and Circadian Rhythm
I feel foolish to mention this, because it’s so basic, although you might be surprised how often the root issue with a client stems from their “basics,” such as sleep, being off. If you’ve ever flown across the world or to a different time zone you might have felt your circadian rhythm off, which left you feeling very “wonky.” I’m defining “the basics” as exercise, diet and sleep (as mentioned). These components and how we regulate them create the foundation for how we function and set up our overall lifestyle.
8 Quick Tips to Practice to Relieve Your Anxiety
1. Identify your negative thinking patterns. Jot them down and be mindful to observe them.
2. Watch your self talk. Look for cognitive distortions and giving energy to stories vs. facts.
3. Watch Your self proclaimed “should’s.” Always pay attention when you start sentences with “I should.”
4. Focus on your breath and move your body. (Standard: 30 minutes/day of doing an activity to move your physical body. This will also help with pushing your emotions through.)
5. Question your thoughts. For example, ask “Does this thought make me feel open (good) or closed (bad).”
6. Find a greater perspective. Focus on the journey vs. the destination.
7. Build practices that get you more in tune with yourself. (Yoga, morning routines, time in nature, surfing, reading, hiking, etc.)
8. Chase states of flow. Pay attention when doors start closing consistently or opening. Go toward people places and things that are going toward you. Don’t chase. Find where the “flow” is within your life. Ride that plane.
Here’s a short quiz for you to take to assess your current level of anxiety. Take quiz HERE.
I hope this blog helped you identify negative habits and find new ones to practice. Life is so much better when we get the anxious thoughts out. Carry on friends. Wishing you a zen mind.

How to Forgive Someone (Even If They Really Screwed Up)
Hello to all of you beautiful people. I hope this post finds you well.
I recently collaborated with HEALTHLINE for this post on the topic of forgiveness.
Forgiveness could be a really difficult topic for some. After all, some of us believe that forgiving someone requires us to accept that what was done is “okay.”
This is not so.
When we forgive, we’re actually doing so, first and foremost, for our own wellness and peace of mind.
Without forgiveness we can get stuck in hard and painful emotions that, if not processed and let go of, can strip us of our joy and weigh us down.
If you’re curious to read more about this topic and my take on it, below is a link to the full post.
Enjoy.

How to Create More Hygge in Your Life
Regardless of what condition your home is in at the moment, this post is meant to inspire you on your journey toward creating a space that feels cozy, calm and welcoming. Why? Because our home environment provides us with the ability to mentally ground. There’s a correlation between the health of your mind and the peace and clarity of your external space, think Marie Kondo in her book, The Life-Changing Magic of Tydying Up.
Messy mind, messy home. We want clear, calm and organized my friends.
If you’ve already succeeded on this quest, props to you, and perhaps you can still enjoy the tips and appreciate the visuals of my featured friend, talented photographer and hygge master, Renata Amazonas.
With that said, I’ve collaborated with Renata because, I mean, what a Hygge wizard this one is! She’s created a home with MAJOR hygge and has invited us in to view her comfy space via her images & feedback in the below Q & A. Her instagram HONEYANDGARDEN highlights how she’s been so mindful to create such a warm and well intentioned space.
Q: Okay, so what is HYGGE?
A: It’s a Danish expression that celebrates and encourages all things cozy and calming with an emphasis on being intentional about choosing items that invite this feeling into your space. A space free of clutter that supports togetherness and joy.
Below is a Q & A with Renata on her tips and feedback about creating a space that’s true to you, while bringing you and others joy.
Q- Are you familiar with the term HYGGE?
Yes. It’s about living comfortably and all things cozy. Making your environment a happy place that brings you joy.
Q- What were some key areas of focus when you created your cozy, warm and inviting home?
My main focus is all about surrounding myself with things that bring me peace. For example, having plants in the house is a must for me. It brings the outdoors in. I spend so much time at home, so I wanted it to be my sanctuary, my safe place where I enjoy being. I created a variety of areas in the house where I feel comfortable and connected depending on the time of day. Our bedroom, for example, is our place to rest, nest, and read books. We don't have a TV in the bedroom. Our backyard is a place I love to enjoy on warm evenings and early mornings. I like to drink coffee and read books listening to the birds outside, as I am surrounded by my plants. Our living room has a very comfortable and soft couch. We only watch TV at night, but the natural lighting that comes in the afternoon is so special. It’s warm, and a perfect place to sit still listening to our old records surrounded by our plants and puppy.
Q- What are some of your favorite materials, colors, etc, to use when creating your environment?
I love neutrals. Organic elements. Textures. I love handmade products like ceramics. I feel very grounded around stones/rocks. When I’m shopping or making art, my eyes and style gravitate towards light colors and materials overall. White linen and light washed wood bring me so much peace.
Q-What catches your design eye?
A softer colored environment where I can play at adding elements with different shapes and textures. But mostly plants and the amount of natural lighting a room has. My eyes gravitate to lines. As much as I am an artist, I like symmetry and continuity. Thats for me when things flow.
Q- How did you learn to create such a beautiful space? Any tricks for those who don't know where to start in their design mission?
Don’t be afraid to play with textures. Do one thing at a time, don’t go to a store and buy all at once. Play around by moving things. I love looking at design magazines and blogs. It’s important to educate yourself and learn from other people’s experiences. Every time I go to a new restaurant or hotel, I pay attention to the details, from door handles to the choice of materials for flooring, walls etc. It’s all about the details. Another tip would be that if you have a small space, try and choose some key pieces that are not too bulky or dark. Pieces that have space underneath or are see through bring the idea of a bigger space. Also, living in a coastal desert, I tried to keep our space bright and airy. I get a lot of my inspiration from our desert adventures.
Q- Do you have any key tips for anybody looking to create a calm, peaceful and simplistic space?
Start with the bones. Pick a floor and wall color that you like. For me, the color of choice is white white and white. It’s like an empty canvas. From there, I go for the big pieces of furniture first, like a couch, dining table, bed, etc. Still going for more neutral color/style. Like I said, I love textures, so I have many white/cream/beige items in my house, but most of them have different textures. Then I finish by adding plants and all the earthy elements that bring me joy. But also, remember to make your home useful, not a display. I like handpicking everything we have at the house, from decor to dishes in the kitchen. We also love to build things ourselves and shop from local artists as much as possible. We don’t have more than we need in here. Avoid over buying things that you don’t need. If it comes to a situation that you love something new that you kind of have already, think twice and decide which one you’ll keep. Don’t be afraid of getting rid of the unnecessary. A clean space helps you live with more serenity.
Well, that was amazing! Thank you friend! Here are some quick tips to sum everything up.
6 QUICK TIPS TO CREATE HYGEE
KEEP IT NEUTRAL/ I know, this can be tough for my lovers of all the colors, bare with me on this one. A neutral palate calms us. It also provides us with a specific color scheme to follow. Neutrals help to keep our aesthetic clean and cohesive looking. Neutrals have a magical way of blending everything together beautifully.
USE EARTH ELEMENTS/ Earth elements ground us. They provide us with a sense of calm and peace as they’re untapped, untouched and straight from our mother earth. They keep our space “rootsy,” as I like to say. Even if you have loud pieces or a desire for color, balance it out with some earth elements for grounding purposes.
BE MINDFUL OF LIGHTING/ I can’t say it enough, lightning is so important. Stay with me on this. We’ve all been in the eye squinting, detail alarming presence of fluorescent lighting (think 8am office space.) Lord help us. Keep your lighting warm and soft, it does wonders to a room.
MUSIC IS EVERYTHING/ When I enter a space that has an appropriate playlist set for the mood or event, I’ve personally entered heaven. For me, a space that has mood appropriate music is a major uplevel to any environment. Music has the great ability to make us feel and tap into our emotions. It stimulates our senses, and offers a real cohesion to any well put together space. Don’t forget about this very important medium friends.
MULTIPLE TEXTURES PLEASE/ A variety of textures offers a really cool “depth of field.” It gives our eye different areas of focus, which creates something interesting, not only to our eyes, but to our space. Don’t be afraid to mix and match within a similar color scheme. (Renata does this beautifully, which is obvious via the images of her home.)
A GOOD SCENT GOES A LONG WAY/ Scents are another “finishing touch” to bring into your space. Beyond the warmth that a lit candle brings to a room, the scent of that candle can really add to the feeling and mood. When in doubt, light up!
Cheers to you in your quest to creating a space that brings you joy and peace.
