MENTAL HEALTH & WELLNESS FOR EVERYONE
You’re a high-achiever who believes in the power of self-help, but…
You can’t really call yourself unhappy, but you aren’t living in a state of blissful existence. You’re situated somewhere in the middle of “What in the world is happening right now?” to “The hills are alive, with the sound of muuuusiiiiiiiic!”
But you aren’t a middle kind of person, so this life can feel frustrating. You’re probably someone who…
- Wants balance, but can’t figure out what that even means. Does balance really exist?
- Often feels guilt when you take time for yourself, even though you know it’s what you need.
- Have supportive people in your life, but they aren’t like-minded individuals with the same goals that is SO IMPORTANT when you’re in growth-mode.
- Play a million different roles but still battle with loneliness and isolation. You want a deeper sense of self-love, connection, and fulfillment.
- Knows all the “self care” things, but still struggle to make yourself a priority.

Mental Health Educators
We strive to help you meet a variety of mental health and wellness needs based on the what we know about human behavior.
Why is self-care so hard?
Well, for starters…
➡️You’re stretched thin: You have a demanding schedule, work commitments, family responsibilities, and social obligations, leaving you with limited time for self-care activities.
➡️Your life roles are out of balance: Striking a balance between work and personal life can be difficult, leading to neglect of self-care due to prioritizing professional responsibilities.
➡️You have financial demands: You have financial means, but you feel guilt when you spend on yourself. You have no problem spending on everyone else.
➡️You feel lonely and isolated: You’re doing all the things, going through motions of life, and play a million different roles. You’re surrounded by plenty of people, and yet you still feel isolated.
➡️You feel guilt: You seem to think that giving to yourself means taking away from others you care about. And maybe that is what it means. But that doesn’t mean it’s wrong.
➡️You’re exhausted: Continuous emotional demands from work, relationships, or personal circumstances can lead to emotional exhaustion and hinder self-care motivation.
But, what happens LONG TERM when you don’t give back to yourself? There are long-lasting effects of self-neglect:
- Physical Health Decline: Chronic stress, poor nutrition, lack of exercise, and insufficient sleep can contribute to conditions like obesity, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and weakened immune function.
- Mental Health Issues: Neglecting self-care can exacerbate or lead to mental health problems such as anxiety, depression, and burnout.
- Decreased Productivity: Inability to concentrate, make decisions, and be productive.
- Relationship Strain: You may become more irritable, distant, or less emotionally available to loved ones.
- Lower Quality of Life: Enjoying activities you once loved is difficult, and life may feel like a constant struggle.
- Self-Esteem and Self-Worth: Neglecting self-care can erode your self-esteem and sense of self-worth. When you don’t prioritize your own well-being, it can lead to feelings of inadequacy or self-doubt.
- Emotional Well-being: You may find it challenging to regulate your emotions, leading to mood swings, irritability, and difficulty managing everyday challenges.
That’s why I’m super pumped to bring you the Self Love Hub…
