— The longest relationship you will have in your life is the one with yourself! You want to feel Simply Self-Wonderful, perhaps not all the time but at least most of the time and to know ways to get back to being Simply Self-Wonderful so you can live the life you want and create for yourself.

The Simply Self-Wonderful Card Deck and The Simply Self-Wonderful Inner Workout Book came out of that yearning in Judy. Wanting to feel loved, accepted, and worthy of love. And try as she might, something always blocked her – herself! That’s why the Self word is repeated in every attribute (card). And that’s why there is a hyphen between the attribute and the Self. They are connected and inseparable if you want to truly love yourself and flourish in life. Self-love isn’t always easy. There’s no Self-Love destination. It’s an ongoing journey you take with yourself. And self-love doesn’t demand perfection either. Just trying to take one step at a time is more than enough. You’ve got this!

— Many people draw on spiritual beliefs, practices, and communities as sources of meaning, resilience, and connection. Mental health care increasingly recognizes that spirituality — understood broadly as how people find purpose, belonging, and transcendence — can interact with psychological well‑being. When integrated respectfully and ethically, attention to spiritual life can enhance assessment, deepen treatment, and help people unlock personal potential. This interview introduces key ideas, evidence, practical approaches, and cautions for clinicians, caregivers, and anyone curious about the intersection of mental health and spirituality.

— There was a time when you just knew.
Who you were. What you loved. Why you were here.

Before the world became noisy—
Before expectations, doubts, and responsibilities crept in—
There was a version of you who remembered your purpose.

Who saw magic in the everyday.
Who felt connected to something greater.

That part of you isn’t gone.
It’s simply been waiting for you to come back.
