We all experience moments of insecurity, feeling small, or not quite as good, maybe feeling we don't belong, or aren't good enough.
This week's episode is about some recent experiences of mine where I have felt this way.
And what I recently learned that has shifted my perspective, and I hope it helps shift yours too.
I spoke about a beautiful image I had recently seen online, and I found it. It was actually a photograph of a sculpture that had been displayed at the Burning Man Festival in 2015 , This sculpture, created by Alexander Milov for Titled “Love,” is a moving piece of art that really illustrates the inner child within us all. Have a look here
It's beautiful.
With all the competition and self doubt there in the world, I want you take a moment and realize your brilliance, accept and love yourself for who you are, and see that divine light within you, and how it is also in everyone else.
There is no competition here, not really. We are all ONE.
DM me on Facebook or Instagram and let me know what you got or could relate to in this week's episode.

The things that often break us are the things that actually make us strong.
When we are in the midst of pain, heartbreak, or tough moments in life it can be so hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Nature is a good reminder that there are seasons and cycles to life, and that life itself continues. The sun continues to rise and shine EVERY SINGLE DAY! Without fail. Even if there are clouds overhead, or its raining or snowing, the sun is still there we just might not be able to see it. But it's there.
That's what we have to remember. The sun, our light, our power, our divine connection to source is always there, always within us to call on, to tap into, to remember.
Don't lose hope. Hold on and remember it won't be like this for long.
I am with you ❤️

Heart AF Episode 24!
Have you ever felt stuck or frozen in your progress because of a mistake you made? Got too emotional, didn't follow your plan like you wanted?
Self guilt can be a really nasty block for us. Preventing us from growing and moving forward to reach our goals. It prevents us from being open to manifesting and seeing miracles.
Guilt is a very heavy and low vibrational energy.
You have to pick yourself up and move forward.
And the first step to healing that block is FORGIVENESS.
You have to forgive yourself and MOVE ON!
Quit looking back and keeping yourself stuck in the past.
It's happened, it's done, it's time to bless it, forgive, and move forward towards the future.
To working your way up the vibrational scale to RISE UP and attract better.
No one is perfect. We are all completely LOVED and whole no matter what.
You are NOT alone
Miracles are real.
You've got this. Rise Up. Keep Going.

HAF Episode 23 has take a step back and reflect where we are going with our life in the goals we have for ourselves. Are we in alignment with what really brings us joy?
I bring up the book the Top Five Regrets of the Dying by Bronnie Ware
Which are:
"I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me."
"I wish I hadn't worked so hard."
"I wish I'd had the courage to express my feelings."
"I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends."
"I wish that I had let myself be happier."
I talk about using the Wheel of Life tool , which I highly recommend you check out to help you analyze the different parts of your life, and see more clearly where you may want to make shifts to bring you more joy and alignment in your life.
We also talk about that negative self talk and how we can get out of our flow when bumps in road show up or derail us, I mention HAF Episode 3 to reflect back on how damaging that Vecna voice inside us can be.
It's totally okay, if you have fallen or gotten off track or derailed. It's as simple as getting back up!
YOU GOT THIS!

This Episode is POWERFUL.
So many things came flowing out that are so important. I real gut check to see if we are really recognizing and acknowledging our true divinity, our true power to create.
How we can get sucked into feeling like we are never enough, always needing to improve and change ourselves to feel validated and worthy.
Really sit with this message and tell me how it makes you feel? Are you like me always feeling the need to strive and accomplish things, never feeling you are doing enough?
When are we going to start seeing ourselves for who we truly are?
Opening our eyes up to the love, beauty, worthiness, and wholeness we already are.
Sending you all so much love!
xo,
Chelsea

Sometimes people hurt you, and sometimes you never get an apology. Which can make you feel pretty small.
But you are NOT small.
Just because someone doesn't recognize your brilliance, your worth, and your divinity, doesn't mean you have to start questioning those pieces of you.
It's time to get your mind right and REMEMBER WHO THE F*CK YOU ARE (See Post)
And come back to knowing your worth, your brilliance, and your divinity!
In this week's episode I share my personal struggles with this exact scenario, how I ran into someone from my past that had hurt me, how it stirred up old insecurities and a longing to receive an apology that never came and how I flipped those negative energies around remembered who the F I am, and stood back up with my head held high.
Part of keeping your mind and self worth elevated is practicing those mantras ans affirmations so I want to share my mantra and affirmation music with you that I personally listen to daily to help elevate my mindset, keep my vibes high and remembering my worth.

Sending you all love!
I want to hear your stories of run in's with anyone from your past that you had cut off or haven't spoken to since they betrayed or hurt you.
YOU ARE NOT ALONE!❤️
