Growth Reflection

by Dr. Tonya Caylor
Jun 03, 2025

Here's an exercise that I hope you find useful.

Think of either past examples that you would define as your best self. Or think of the self you'd like to aspire to be.

Now, which of your strengths are you exhibiting? What happens internally for you? How does it impact your relationships? What's one small thing you can begin to practice to uplevel your day to day self?

(Caution - Please only do this from a place of abundance. Ie. No negative self-talk allowed. This is not to be weaponized to beat yourself up - just to continue to find areas and ways to grow.)

Under the right conditions (low on sleep, skipping workouts, doing too much), they still know e...
The River Gets Wider
Just prior to marrying my husband, his dad handed us an article torn from a magazine. It used the imagery of two rivers coming together to describe marriage. The gist that stuck with my young mind was:1. Don’t be shocked by the rapids. They’re a natural outcome of two forces merging.2. Marriage will have twists and turns, rocks and islands to navigate, but given the right conditions, the river ...
