Have you ever felt like you’re holding back, even when you know you’re meant for more? You’re not alone.

Life has a way of breaking us down, but it’s in those moments of fracture that true boldness is born. Deborah Griffiths’ story, as featured on BoldJourney, is a testament to resilience, reinvention, and the power of embracing one’s true calling. Her journey from hardship to empowerment is exactly the kind of narrative we celebrate at Broken to Boldness—where every setback is a setup for a stronger comeback.

We all face moments in our lives that bring us to our knees. Perhaps it’s from a divorce, burnout, job loss, grief, or simply feeling lost and disconnected from who we are.

Resentment is a heavy burden. It’s like carrying a bag of stones, each one representing a past hurt, betrayal, or disappointment. Over time, this weight drains our energy, keeps us stuck in the past, and prevents us from fully embracing our future.

We often hear about the importance of forgiving others, but we rarely discuss the significance of forgiving ourselves. The truth is, self-forgiveness is one of the most powerful and transformative acts of self-love.

Life coaches focus on the present and future, empowering you to unlock your full potential and create a life aligned with your true values.

Have you ever felt a deep pull in your heart whispering, “There’s more for you than this”?

Life transitions, whether planned or unexpected, can shake the very foundation of who we are. From career changes and divorce to becoming a parent or retiring, these shifts can leave us feeling lost, uncertain, and disconnected from our former selves.

Recent news of massive federal job losses is causing a stir. While I’m not here to discuss the politics of these job cuts, I do want to focus on those who have lost their job (private or public sector) or may experience this in the future. I know I have lost my job a couple of times in my career, so I can relate to the angst it creates.

Life’s most painful experiences often feel like they break us. I know this feeling all too well, yet I’m still standing! What if those very struggles could be the foundation for something greater? What if your pain could become the catalyst for your purpose?

April 15th was National Rubber Eraser Day—a small celebration for something most of us took for granted in our school days: the rubber eraser. I posted about this on social media and added a bit of trivia which generated a couple of interesting comments. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could erase away the mistakes we’ve made in our lives? Or would it?

Last week I wrote about resilience and shared a few practical tips on how you can strengthen your ability to bounce back from life’s challenges. Maybe you’ve wondered if I’ve personally used these techniques and if they actually work.

You’ve finally moved on. You’ve done the hard work to heal, let go, and step into your power—only to receive a random “Hey stranger” text from the person who caused the most confusion in your life. You freeze. You wonder: Should I respond? What does this mean?

Have you ever met someone, maybe through a friend or a dating app, and wondered if they were really interested in you?  Perhaps you start texting each other and meet up a few times for coffee or dinner.

In today's fast-paced world, prioritizing personal and professional growth is more critical than ever. Investing in a life coach is not just about achievement in career or relationships, but it's about holistic development including wellness and fulfillment.

In a nutshell, negative self-talk is that inner critic whispering (or sometimes shouting) that you’re not good enough, smart enough, or worthy enough. It’s the voice that second-guesses your choices, downplays your accomplishments, and holds you back from reaching your potential. Personally, I have been told that I would never make it in life, nor would I ever be loved.  Those words hurt and while I know this isn’t true; it doesn’t mean that they don’t haunt me at times. The good news is that negative self-talk is actually a learned behavior, and it can be unlearned!
