Grow with the Flow

We’re not where we want to be. Here’s the question though… Are we taking steps to get there… Or are we too busy putting ourselves down to move forward?

Mirrors are everywhere. We see them in our homes, at work, and even when we’re driving down the street. They are ubiquitous because they have a powerful effect on us that few other things can match – reflecting back to us who we are, what we look like, how others perceive us… But did you know that mirrors have an important psychological function as well?

Affirmations After Escaping Domestic Violence Abuse: I am SAFE.

Feeling safe after leaving abuse is no easy task. Even with incarceration or distance, we are still afraid of them “showing up”. The fear can be debilitating.

Unfortunately, some women do not survive escaping, which makes it even harder for…
