Hi, friend! 🤓👋

It’s almost the end of May, with summer sneaking up on us like never before— because there’s a feeling of stillness to our world right now. A feeling of pause, like we’re collectively holding our breath. And it’s making me feel both reflective and reaching— a combination of emotions that seems familiar now that we have the time to truly feel them. We start our lives as little squishy babes taking everything in— evaluating it, and then reaching for more— more experiences, more warmth, more excitement to dazzle us! And as you look back and reflect— evaluate— ask yourself: Did you do what you were born to do yet? Have you found warmth and excitement? Are you still reaching? It’s easy to get stuck in the momentum of just moving through life, without stopping to ask ourselves if we’ve been living our lives to the fullest. If we’ve stopped reaching for more to help us grow and evolve. And I know that when you stop to reflect— to ask yourself if you’ve stopped short of fulfillment or stopped short of evolving— that you’ll see that if you’d started reaching again sooner, then the life you want would already be yours! 💛 And it’s so easy, once you stop and reflect, to see this, isn’t it. And it’s so easy to know that you can find warmth and growth this summer, even as the world holds its breath 💛 You know in your heart that you’re meant for more (even when the voice in your head tells you that you aren’t).  And you know that you want to achieve a life of happiness and confidence!  So how are you going to start showing up differently in your own life? How are you going to reach for fulfillment? It’s not going to be by staying still— stuck in the momentum of the life you already have. It’s going to be by going after exactly what you want, and not second guessing yourself! The magic will happen when you change gears— upshift into a different level of movement and momentum— and begin showing up as the YOU that you’ve always wanted to be! I’m launching my free self-love Masterclass next week, alongside my community coaching program Love Your Life in 90 Days, and both are designed to help you make that shift— to step into the life you know you deserve! You know you deserve more, sweet friend.

Meet Your Self-Love + Confidence Coach, 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.
