Holding doors, walking you home, having your favorite chocolates ready. Once things get more comfortable, are you still getting the white glove treatment, or does the mask slip? Was it real? On the other hand, how would you know white glove treatment if you don't give yourself the queenly treatment you deserve?

Send us a text message to join the conversation or just send me a note! Get comfy with your beverage of choice, because today is heavy. Today, grief is on my heart, and I've been through plenty of it. I lost my mother to breast cancer when I was 14 years old. I didn't know what grief was or how to handle it, and I had nobody around to help me. Today, I want to help you. Grief isn't always about losing a loved one, but it is always a loss. A loss of a relationship, a loss of love, a loss of something you used to have. We all go through the 5 stages of grief in different ways and along with that, we lose a version of ourselves too. Heal with me today. Honor the you that you used to be and honor the grieving process, however you need it to look.

Send us a text message to join the conversation or just send me a note! That's right, I quit. But quitting isn't failure... sometimes quitting is freedom. Sometimes we need to quit that job, those relationships, that situation, that isn't serving us anymore. When I quit, it's like a level up, or a graduation from something that was holding me back. If I hadn't quit, I wouldn't be where I am now. DM me on IG @patricestar with some of your "I quit" affirmations!

Do you keep finding yourself in the same kind of situationships with people that you thought had so much potential, but they never delivered? Do you find that you're pouring yourself into this person, just trying to help them be what you believe they can be, only to end up feeling depleted? Those aren't partners - they're projects.

Send us a text message to join the conversation or just send me a note! Sometimes we find ourselves in sticky situations with friends, relationships, clients or family. Do you always consider all viewpoints in a conflict, or do you sometimes react prematurely? Everyone comes into every situation from their own vantage point. There may be emotions already brewing, prior history with the people involved, or even fears and biases that color each person's perspective. It's worth it to take the time to reflect on your own reaction, emotions, and assumptions when you run into a conflict. Are you a co-conspirator? Might their point of view be just as correct as yours?

You know like how Taco Bell and KFC sometimes combine in one store, but their menus are still separate? It's like that. In business and relationships, what you want is amalgamation - not assimilation. You don't want to lose yourself in the combination. Collaboration and cooperation is great and necessary, but it needs to be about mutual growth, not dissolving identities.

Send us a text message to join the conversation or just send me a note! I've been careful to make a list of things I want for my life because I believe that these things are coming for me. The thing is, they don't always happen the way I expect them to. Sometimes you need to be more specific. Sometimes, be aware that the good things coming for you are housed in lessons. What is it that you're manifesting for your life? Are you being specific enough? Are you sure that the difficulties you're going through aren't actually the good things inside a lesson you need to learn in order to accept them?

Send us a text message to join the conversation or just send me a note! A word that keeps coming up for me for the last 6 months or so is grace. It means a lot of things to show grace, be grace, give grace, be graceful, and even to say grace. I have had some experiences recently where I would have liked to be given some grace in order to navigate the situation I was in. Those experiences made me reevaluate the way I run my business, treat my clients, and communicate the expectations to the people in my life. It's important to give grace, conduct yourself with grace, but most importantly to give yourself some grace on your healed and healing journey because growth, transforming, transcending, and changing is difficult.
