Kindness and generosity is the way. However, if you focus on the care of your work deadlines, clients, and loved ones at the expense of your own self-care, and it has taken a toll, please keep reading.
Make a decision every day to embrace life, celebrate life—and be gentle with yourself. Be kind—to your body, to your mind, through whatever challenges you may be facing. You can be fiercely dedicated to this and make it a lifestyle.
Have reverence for yourself as if you were a holy person who is visiting your home.
Talk sweetly inside your mind to yourself. Slow down just enough to bring attention to that.
Imagine how you would treat a beloved family member or friend who is visiting you. Think of the little things you do to show your care for this person. You may prepare their favorite tea, put extra fluffy pillows on the sofa… extra details that will make them feel nurtured and loved. Borrow from that and use those same ideas to care for yourself lovingly. When you sit at your desk, be sure you are really really comfortable. Put a cozy blanket over your lap. Check that your environment is truly supporting you. Open windows and doors to have fresh air and oxygen circulating in your home or office. Have a practice of squeezing fresh lemons or oranges into your water in mason jars to make sure you stay hydrated every day. Little things can feel so nourishing and healthy. It is all a form of self-love—of kindness.
This is the precise way in which you should treat yourself, talk to yourself, love yourself—with absolute tenderness, and with an absolute commitment.

Leaders Who Lead With Heart
The greatest leaders I’ve had the privilege of working with as a keynote speaker lead with heart.
They bring genuine care, presence, and appreciation to every interaction—and it shows.
These leaders foster vibrant cultures where people feel seen, valued, and united. They create environments where challenges aren’t faced alone, but together, as a team.
When we take the time to truly be present with those around us, we ignite something powerful:
✨ Authentic relationships
✨ Deep loyalty
✨ Unshakable connections
It’s leadership in action.
It reminds me of the saying, “Sometimes you have to go slow to go fast.” Slowing down to show care may feel counterintuitive when you want to push projects forward, but it builds the kind of foundation with people that stands the test of time.
And honestly? It’s just a beautiful way to live.
So today, let's Be the One℠ who brings presence, care, and connection to those around us.
It changes everything.
