De-cluttering as a form of Self-Love
The minimalist lifestyle has become increasingly popular in recent years. With lifestyle coaches and mentors like Marie Kondo, it has come to many people’s attention a fact that, incredible as it may seem, many of us had not noticed: we are drowning in stuff.

How to set boundaries (Part 2)
My previous post (here) dealt with boundaries and why they are important and necessary. I promised today we would talk a bit about what we can to to set said boundaries and protect them as necessary. To become aware of what boundaries you want to set, you need to be aware of who you are…
