Self-Love Wednesday – Ask Amanda
Question: Hey Amanda! I was telling a friend over our mani/pedis that I had gone another round of unproductive and brutal fighting with my long time boyfriend. She suggested that I write you.

We lost ourselves.
We lost ourselves. We all have fallen for the small, crazy idea that we aren’t good enough on our own. This idea trips us up very early in life. At a super young age each of us may feel that we don’t fit into a certain group of people, aren’t the teacher’s/coach’s/parent’s favorite, aren’t […]
Call Me Cinderella
