Do you know when you are triggered?

April 17, 2021 Peta Sklarz

I don’t have to feel dirty just because someone brought their dirt to me. It is not mine to take. Confidence happens over time. It isn’t like I can read a book or have an experience and suddenly I am […]

Defending my boundaries

April 10, 2021 Peta Sklarz

I had a dream last night that I moved into a beautiful new home. I arrived late at night so I didn’t see it all, but I woke up the next morning and started to explore it. I opened the […]

Becoming Whole

December 29, 2018 Peta Sklarz

I notice as my dreams slowly start to become reality there is a part of me that wants to slow everything down. I start to turn apathetic, and devalue my accomplishments. No one is telling me to slow down, I […]

Alone for Christmas? Good for you!

December 22, 2018 Peta Sklarz

Do I deserve all the love I have in my life right now? My body feels anxious and I have to focus to keep my mind from looking for danger. My mind always looks for danger, threatening situations, and hurtful […]

Love and Survival

Am I damaged?

June 9, 2018 Peta Sklarz

Am I damaged?  I used to think that I was, at the very core of me damaged or bad.  And I used to use all my energy to hide my damage to others.  I wanted to appear normal and fit […]

I am rejected

May 26, 2018 Peta Sklarz

I am scared of rejection.  I like being liked and approved of, especially from those I care about.  So, in writing about my childhood I am scared that my brothers and sisters will reject me. I am scared that they […]

To be nude or not to be nude, that is not the question.

February 18, 2018 Peta Sklarz

    So, on Instagram today @girl_unfiltered asked the question of how celebrity nude selfies effect young women’s self-esteem.  So, I asked my 19 year old daughter this question as she was getting ready to go out with friends.  “What?”  […]

midlife crisis
I am sharing my journey because I feel compelled to help others out of the lonely place where I once lived.
Welcome!
midlife
All women are born Powerful, but we give away our power so freely that no one values it, not even us. My message is the reclaiming of our energy and power, and being the woman we were born to be!

This is my personal blog (since 2018) where I  publish a post weekly so that you can follow my journey to finding my voice, creating boundaries, and ending toxic entanglements in midlife.  In the last 6 years I  have changed everything about myself, and I  have a completely different life that speaks to my authentic self.

My first love is my writing, but through my writing I  rediscovered my artistic side and over the last several years I  have sold my original art, and pre-covid I  did art shows.

My first art show ‘The Queens – Awakening the Feminine Energy within’ was on  July 25, 2019 at Nucleus Gallery in Portland Oregon.

My second art show “LA Queens – the beautiful women of LA’ was on September 21st in Santa Monica.

My 3rd art show was December 18th in Downtown LA. I  was invited to be a part of the RAW –  Natural Born Artists show.

Due to the pandemic my Art Shows are on pause.
