    Emotional Intelligence: A Key to Better Living

    September 30, 2023 / No Comments

    Emotional intelligence, often defined as the ability to perceive, use, understand, manage, and handle emotions, plays a crucial role in our daily lives. Recently, a memory resurfaced when my son accidentally broke our windshield, marking the third time in less than a year we needed a repair. This incident made me realize the stark difference in emotional upbringing between my son and myself. As a child, I was afraid of making mistakes or damaging things due to the intense reactions…

It’s been such a long time since I’ve introduc It’s been such a long time since I’ve introduced myself—I thought it was about time.⁣
⁣
I started this account back in 2018 with a passion for travel & writing. I came up with the name LostBlondeSole, not because I don’t know how to use the right version of the word “sole/soul” but because I wanted to encapsulate trying to find your path. ⁣
⁣
As I have changed this account has changed with me, I don’t talk much about travel anymore, but I find the name is still very suiting. When I unexpectedly got pregnant with our son back in 2018 I had no idea the ways in which my life & world would be turned on its head (outside of the obvious). I started to unpack my own childhood. Postpartum was one of the hardest times of my life. I was faced with chronic pain throughout my entire body, from head to toe. This sent me on a mission to figure out what the fuck was going on.⁣
⁣
I came to realize that I had been suppressing trauma & pain for so long that my body couldn’t handle it anymore, it was shutting down on me—thus began the long journey of healing, mind, body & soul. I’m still a soul trying to find her path, walking around a little lost. I try not to box myself in. I’m a multifaceted human who each & every single day is discovering more about her self.⁣
⁣
The motto I have carried with me comes from the great Brené Brown - “Staying vulnerable is a risk we have to take if we want to experience connection.”⁣
⁣
Some topics I touch on:⁣
-Mental health⁣
-Narcissistic abuse & recovery, along with the choice to go no contact with my mother and step-father⁣
-Healing & growth⁣
-Spirituality⁣
-Recurring miscarriages ⁣
-Self discovery after a childhood of not being able to.⁣
 -My journey with social anxiety & breaking through ex.Joining Soccer for the first time in 15 years⁣
 -Gardening & plants⁣
 -Baking⁣
⁣
Random facts about me:⁣
-I live with my father-in-law & my grandma ⁣
-I LOVE Taylor Swift (been a die hard since debut)⁣
-My first name (Holland) is my grandma’s last name & also my son’s middle name⁣
-I’m vegan⁣
-I’m the co-founder of @bohomarketinggroup & founder of @chunkybunsbyhol 
-I have a blog lostblondesole.com⁣

Every day is a battle between the old and new. Between the past, present and future. ⁣
⁣
It’s a weird place. I’m so proud of how far I’ve come. Of the things I’ve achieved. I know I’ve made incredible growth over these past few years, but the insecure, nervous, anxious Hollie is still deep in there. Still unsure.

August 2023 made itself a core memory in my brain. August 2023 made itself a core memory in my brain. It was full of laughter, tears, excitement, new experiences, family time and so much more. ⁣
⁣
We’ve had an eventful summer to say the least. Lots of pool time, gardening, excursions and of course a heck ton of sass from our newly 4 year old. ⁣
⁣
August, you slipped away into a moment in time…⁣
But now it’s time for back to (pre)school so I can regain some of my sanity 😅
4 years of you 🤍 ⁣ ⁣ 1460 days or 35,040 ho 4 years of you 🤍 ⁣
⁣
1460 days or 35,040 hours. That’s how long you have been by our side. The impact you have already had on me, on our world is incredible. I wouldn’t be who I am today if it weren’t for you. ⁣
⁣
To my sparky, funny, beautiful, intelligent, kind, gentle & wild 4 year old, happiest birthday 🥳 ⁣
⁣
You are so loved and a so cherished 🤍☀️
17 years ago I was in grade 9. I remember having C 17 years ago I was in grade 9. I remember having CMT playing on TV when the music video for Teardrops on my Guitar started to play. I had never been into country music but was captivated by the song and video. ⁣
⁣
17 years of growing up with Taylor Swift. 17 years of putting on her music when I was lonely, broken hearted, confused, angry or just needing to shake it off. ⁣
⁣
It wasn’t easy getting to this concert, but it was worth every hiccup to be able to sing and dance our hearts out to my favourite artists music. To be able to experience it with my best friend and sissy pie was just the cherry on top. This night is one I’ll never forget, it’s been added to my core memories forever.⁣
