Beauty, Brains & Boundaries

By The Artful Woman
    Why Worthy Women Are Done Apologizing for Wanting More As a young girl, I was an international model—traveling the world, young, beautiful, and financially independent. I was naturally drawn to powerful, intelligent, and successful men—not because I needed anything from them, but because I admired ambition. I respected men who could build something for themselves, because I was already building something for myself. But because I was beautiful, I was labeled. Assumed. Dismissed. "Gold digger" that type of judgment made me stay away from the very type of man I was genuinely aligned with. I didn’t want to be misunderstood. So I shrunk my desires and played it safe. And for that, I paid the price. As I got older, that stigma stuck. I found myself in a pattern of relationships with users, losers, and opportunists—men who took and took and gave nothing back. Men who drained my spirit, my finances, my peace. And I let it happen, because somewhere deep down, I still felt like I ...

Living in Abundance: It’s More Than Just Money

Image
By The Artful Woman

As I picked boysenberries from the vines I planted myself, I couldn’t help but smile. The berries were juicy, ripe, and plentiful—so many, in fact, I shared them with my chickens.

And in that quiet moment, surrounded by nature’s generosity, I felt it deep in my soul:

I am already living an abundant life.

For years, I believed abundance was something I had to chase. That it looked like bank accounts, business wins, or financial freedom. But lately, I’ve been learning a deeper truth:
Abundance isn’t something outside of me. It’s something I live every day.

Abundance is Growing All Around Me

This spring, flowers have exploded across my yard—the very ones I planted last fall when the ground was bare and the air was filled with quiet hope. Now they bloom wildly, colorfully, and unapologetically. Isn’t that what abundance is? To plant, to trust, and to be surprised by beauty?

I grow fruit trees, herbs, boysenberries and grapes. I get my hands dirty. I feel connected to the earth. Bees hum around me, butterflies dance in the breeze, and even seeds find their way to places I never intended—yet somehow, beauty still finds a way to grow.

Abundance is everywhere, even in the tiniest pollinators and the unexpected blooms.

My Animals Are Part of My Abundance

My five chickens, two cats, two baby tortoises, and my sweet dog—these aren’t just pets. They are my family. They bring joy, laughter, unconditional love, and endless lessons in presence.

Every morning when I collect eggs or watch my tortoises sunbathe, I feel rich.
Rich in love. Rich in life. Rich in connection.

The Real Abundance Mindset

An abundance mindset isn’t just about manifesting wealth—it’s about recognizing the overflow that already exists around you.

It’s about knowing that:

  • There is more than enough love, joy, and beauty to go around.

  • The Universe is generous—not stingy.

  • Your heart can be full even if your wallet is still a work in progress.

Abundance is picking berries in your backyard.
Abundance is dancing barefoot in your kitchen.
Abundance is being loved by animals who don’t care what you earn.


You Can Be Rich Right Now

I used to think I’d feel abundant once I had more money, more success, more “proof” of prosperity.

But now I realize—I’ve been living an abundant life all along.

I just had to open my heart and see it.

And that’s the gift I want to offer you today:
If you’re always searching for abundance out there, take a breath. Look around. What’s already growing? What’s already loving you? What’s already supporting you, even quietly?

You may already be living in the overflow.

From My Garden to Yours…

Abundance isn’t a number. It’s a feeling. A way of life. A belief that you are connected to something generous, wise, and ever-growing.

So go ahead—plant the seeds.
Tend to what matters.
Love what’s right in front of you.
And trust…

When you live with gratitude, you’re already living in abundance.

And if you’re calling in more—more clarity, more money, more joy—remember this:
You don’t have to force it.
You don’t have to chase it.
You don’t even have to know how it will happen.

You just have to know what you want and why it matters.
The how will meet you once you start walking.

Take the next step. Even if it’s small. Even if it’s messy.
Because every dream begins with a brave decision to move—even before the path is fully clear.

Release the effort. Trust the timing. And know that what’s meant for you is already making its way.

“I release the how. I trust the flow. I am open, ready, and already abundant.”

When Effort Becomes a Block

By The Artful Woman
 When Effort Becomes a Block Dr. Leslie Phillips describes something called “being in effort.” It’s when you try so hard to be connected—over-cleansing, over-reading, over-seeking—that the trying itself creates a block. She teaches that true spiritual connection doesn’t come from effort. It comes from alignment. That landed for me—not because it described what I’m doing wrong, but because it affirmed what I’ve been doing right. I’m not chasing connection. I’m not grasping for signs. I’m not in obsession—I’m in curiosity. I explore what resonates, stay open, and trust. I’m not in effort. I’m in flow. And that, too, is surrender. Effort Blocks Flow Being “in effort” is a subtle but powerful block. It doesn’t just apply to manifestation—it applies to everything: Growing your intuition Opening to spirit Deepening your healing Feeling “spiritual enough” When you push too hard—even toward something beautiful—you risk making it about the ego’s need for control...

Walking Away to Save Myself: Breaking the Chains of a Toxic Family

By The Artful Woman
  For years, I lived with trauma so deep it tried to silence me—but instead of breaking me, it made me defiant. Everything my mother said to tear me down, I resisted. I became everything she said I couldn’t be. My mother—the person who should have protected me—was instead the source of fear, pain, and rejection. She never offered love, safety, or validation. Instead, I lived in constant anxiety and terror. The beatings were daily. And when she wasn’t hitting me herself, she had trained my middle sister to take over. The abuse was relentless. Inescapable. This was my childhood: a house ruled by violence, fear, and control. What made it even darker was her involvement in witchcraft and black magic. She used it as a weapon—threatening me with curses, wishing me dead, and vowing she would outlive her children just to watch our lives unravel. I grew up under the heavy fear that I had been cursed by the one person who was supposed to nurture me. Her cruelty didn’t stop there. She often ...

Why You’re Stuck: Clearing the Energy Behind Procrastination, Overwhelm, and Avoidance

By The Artful Woman
You know that feeling. You have things to do—maybe even big, exciting dreams to chase—but somehow, you're not moving. You’re staring at your to-do list, avoiding the same tedious task for the third day in a row, telling yourself, “I’ll start tomorrow.” But tomorrow keeps slipping away. So what’s really going on? Feeling stuck isn’t laziness or lack of discipline. It’s energy. And that energy is often tangled up in limiting beliefs , mental overwhelm , and emotional stagnation that lives inside the body. Let’s break it down: 1. Limiting Beliefs: The Invisible Walls Limiting beliefs are those quiet, persistent thoughts that say: “I’m not good enough.” “I always mess things up.” “Why bother? It won’t work anyway.” “I’m just not organized.” These beliefs often hide in the background, quietly directing our decisions. They act like energetic walls, preventing us from moving forward even when the path is clear. And the most frustrating part? You can’t always see ...

Surrender Is the New Power

By The Artful Woman
I’ve been sitting with this idea of surrender lately. Not the “throw your hands in the air” kind of surrender. Not the “give up because it’s too hard” kind. But the holy, grounded, soul-level kind of surrender— the kind that says: “I trust something bigger than me is guiding this.” I Used to Know How to Surrender When my dad died, I broke. I didn’t know how to cope with the loss, so I did what so many do—I fell into a bottle and tried to drink my way through the grief. I wasn’t an alcoholic. I was human. Hurting. Numb. And then one day, I found myself in church. A song came on—a Christian song with the words: “Deeply broken. Wholly surrendered.” And something in me cracked wide open. I sang along through tears. And in that moment, I didn’t just sing the words— I became them. Deeply broken. Wholly surrendered. I let go of what I could never control. And from that moment on, life slowly started to meet me with grace. But Somewhere Along the Way, I Took It Back Over time, I...
