I haven’t blogged lately and that’s not by accident. I’ve been building something. … Read More Where I’ve been and where I’m going

Raegan Julia Hedley is ”RaegJules”

I don't have it all figured out, but then again, none of us do! This blog is my way of sharing the lessons I've learned (and continue to learn) with you, never forgetting to keep a healthy sense of humour along the way. Raegjules.com is also about making the most of where you are right now, so you can live the best life possible.

An excerpt from last week’s blog post: This is hard to admit, but I know the pain of what happens when your self worth is built on other people’s opinions of you. My self-esteem was as fragile as a sandcastle ready for some kid to come kick it over at any time. For a long time, my spine felt like it was going to be curved forever from bending over backward to be liked. Taking baby steps to get to know myself and show my true self to people, knowing full well that I could be rejected, is one of the scariest things I’ve ever done in my adult life. Being authentic takes vulnerability. For me, part of working through my rejection sensitivity is celebrating the fact that I’m not for everyone...in a healthy, glass-half-full kind of way that honours my value. It doesn’t mean I suddenly don’t give a shit about how I make people feel. It means I can say no and not feel an overwhelming sense of guilt. It means not chasing people down who don’t want me. It means not going over the top when it comes to simple apologies. It means taking the power back and not letting other people dictate how I feel about myself. It means I’m no longer apologizing for who I am as a person. Every day I accept more and more that I am a serious, opinionated, over the top, life-loving, risk-taking, aggressive, acquired taste and I don’t need to change who I am. I do, however, need to continue living in a way that aligns with my values 🤘{link is in bio to read the full post} #realtalk #selfacceptance #peoplepleaser #canadianblog #vulnerability #bravingthewilderness

Beginner friendly boxing w/ @thecommunitygym on Mondays is sometimes the only thing that makes me get out of the house and damn I’m grateful for it. @amieseier is the person you want to be around if you’ve been in your head all day being all crabby and mad at shit. Also everyone is very encouraging...if you can’t tell from my friends yelling nice things at me 🥊❤️ @audreylynn.c @sarahwakeen

It’s now the temperature in Winnipeg where everything becomes cracked and crusty and hibernation feels necessary (I need to live under a SAD light apparently). There’s no sun for days at a time and our city is mostly covered in a layer of snow sludge. I am dragging myself to the finishing line aka Christmas with a good attitude DAMMIT. Winter ain’t always pretty, but December also means we are nearing the end of a chapter - 2018 - and whether you look back on the year and want to laugh or cry... it’s about to end. So lean into it. Appreciate it for what it was. And get ready to ride right the hell into 2019 like you’re on the back of a dragon. Or maybe a flamingo? Whatever floats your boat friend #wholeheartedliving #2018 #winnipegwinter #tanlines

Looking through photos from last months’ @bumblebizz Find Me On Bumble Bizz panel and networking event at @carbonecafeclub has me excited for our next event 🎄🍺 are you an entrepreneur, creative, freelancer, job-hunter or someone who doesn’t work in a traditional office environment? Stop by @littlebrownjugbrewing on Dec. 12 for a fun & festive holiday party for people without offices from 6:30-9PM. Show your profile for a free beer, snacks and Bumble Bizz merch on us - not to mention access to a kickass headshot station 📸 link is in my bio for more info! P.s. @bumble had 0 users four years ago and today the app has over 44 million users. Amazing what can happen when you have a goal like empowering women and ending misogyny. #findmeonbumble #bumblebizz #bumble #bumblewinnipeg #winnipeg #wpg #onlyinthepeg #empoweringwomen

Ah yes the most extra photo for the most extra season of the year it’s DECEMBER 1 BITCHES which means I change into an elf like a werewolf and get up in your face with Christmas cheer...get ready (but really nothing can prepare you). HELL YA IT’S THE HOLIDAYS!!!!! 🤗🎅✨🎄❄️⛄️ #santababy #extra #christmastree

sometimes being happy is as simple as laying on the ground and letting JAKE THE BEST PUP EVERY lay on you ✨🐶❤️ (p.s. the person you hear in the background is @reidov because it’s actually his dog....but we have a special bond I swear 😂) #thepursuitofhappiness #realtalk
