A Sweet, Short Pep Talk for YOU!

By /

Dang, friend, you are killin’ it today!

You are! 
You’re halfway through your work day, and you’re surviving, probably still caffeinating (or is that just me?), and you’ve got a WHOLE afternoon & evening to spice up your attitude to be positive and motivated! (Or calm and serene— don’t you let this day stress you, babe!) So pop in an earbud and jam out to a song that hypes you! (Currently feelin’ Non-Stop from Hamilton) Or take a slow, giant breath innnnnnn through your nose and out through your mouth (repeat thrice for good measure!) You are in charge of your afternoon attitude, and I believe in you! 

Life isn’t perfect, positivity isn’t magic, but CHOOSING to lift yourself up is SO possible! 

Me, for example? My morning was spent in the quiet of my home office with my doggos snuggled nearby & my afternoon is being spent on a work date with my retired dad— he’s listening to an audiobook and I’m writing this message to YOU! 

(I also took that selfie in the bathroom of the coffee shop we’re at.. not because bathroom selfies are #classy, necessarily, but because I happened to be feelin’ my vibe when I saw myself in the mirror 😉 You gotta celebrate your self-love when it hits you! Even if that’s in the bathroom and you’re gonna have to share it in a message to fabulous internet friends! 😂😂😂)

So how can YOU uplift your afternoon? Let’s talk Action Steps:

Whatever you choose to do, dear heart, know that I’m sending you good vibes and that YOU’RE totally in charge of your attitude for the afternoon (even if you have to go to crappy things you don’t want to do). Give yourself grace, self-love, and a fresh start! I believe in you! 😍

Coffee mug clinks, and love,

Kayla Vavra

I founded Brave Heart Open Mind, this enthusiastic self-love development studio, in an effort to empower women with the ability to live their happiest, most confident lives!

Because I’ve walked the path of feeling like I wasn’t good enough— drowning in self-doubt and self-hate— and it genuinely straight up sucks. (It does, for real. If you’ve been there— ugly-crying on cold floral linoleum— you know it’s true).

Part of the entire existence of Brave Heart Open Mind is to allow me to help you get to where I am— in a place of self-love; in a place of consistent confidence; in a place of self-empowerment! And to help you get there faster than I did. 😅🤩

It took me over a decade to get to where I am today.

From my own rock bottom— sitting at the end of an emotionally abusive relationship, fully depressed, with imbalanced hormones, halfway through college, unable to do anything other than barely hang on and pretend I was fine, (when really my self-image was a total dumpster fire on the inside). There were real moments of sobbing-on-the-floor feelings of wretchedness, catatonic-in-bed feelings of hopelessness, and hiding-blades-from-myself urges of self-harm during this time.

Medication to balance my hormones helped regulate my brain chemistry to smooth back the depression and darkness, but I was still left with a completely trashed self-image. I wanted to love myself, and it took me over a decade to figure out how to actually make that happen.

My personal journey over the course of that decade has thankfully brought me all the way to where I am now: the founder of an amazing and fulfilling business, totally loving my life!

And if I can help you skip the trudging, slow-as-heck, mountain climb out of the trenches of self-doubt and self-hate, and streamline a decade for you— like, that’s amazing! Why wouldn’t I help you? How could I not??

And through painstakingly building positive lifelong habits for myself, I’ve paved a new path: One where I consistently push myself to grow, feel good enough, and live in a place of calm, centered confidence.

And these habits aren’t magic— anyone can learn them! Everyone deserves to learn them. They’re rooted in solid verbal communication skills, body language tactics, and powerful mindset shifts. Meshing these three skillsets together creates a powerful range of habits that can make any lovely human feel confident! All you have to do is learn them and consistently work hard to practice them throughout your life. When you’re ready to commit to yourself, when you’re ready to finally let yourself feel good enough, when you’re ready to live a life of confidence, I can help you learn and practice these habits! You’re worth it 😀 (You SO are!)

I’m also a total scifi nerd 🤓 

I can’t wait for us to work together! Seriously, we’ll be a force to be reckoned with! You’ll learn such powerful new habits, and you’ll feel so much power in the confidence that you’ve unlocked! Heck yes!!

In other nerdy news, you should also know that I’m a total geek and an avid life-long learner: I am certified to teach public speaking (and more!) with a Bachelors Degree in Mass Communication & Journalism and a Masters Degree in Education by the University of Nebraska at Omaha. I am certified as a Life & Success Coach, Hypnotherapist, and NLP, EFT, and TIME Practitioner by the International Board of Coaches and Practitioners. I’m currently pursuing my certification as a Master Practitioner by the IBCP, as well as my certification in The Science of Well-Being by Yale University 🤓

(Mmmm, coffeee!)
