You Are Stronger Than You Think
Remember all of those days you thought you couldn’t get through? Well, here you are. You are so much stronger than you think. There’s a country song that says, “What I thought was going to be the death of me, ended up being my saving grace”. I remember thinking that leaving my last relationship would […]
Post-Election Stress is Real. Don't Let it Overcome You.
This week, the nation waited with bated breath to find out who the next President of the United States would be, and as the days went by with little more information released, many Americans experienced prolonged stress and anxiety. Though the election has been called by major news outlets, talks of recounts and litigation on […]
I Still Struggle, Just Like You, That's Okay
In my presentations, I talk about how for so long people thought I had it all together, so they didn’t always feel the need to check-in. And then sometimes I scroll through my Instagram and think, well there are probably some students and student-athletes that I talk to that still think I have it all […]
Show Up for Yourself
The journey toward getting to know and love yourself is a beautiful one. It’s also one that takes time. You don’t wake up one day and say, “well, the work is done. I don’t need to keep learning to love and take care of myself.” You do, however, get beautiful moments of appreciation for the […]
Choose to Be You

You're Allowed to Ask for Help
2020 has been a year of loss. Whether it’s loss of experiences, social connection, school, work, or loved ones, we have all had something or someone taken from us. The universal grief we are all feeling has never happened on such a large scale. Everyone has experienced loss, everyone’s life has changed, some more so […]

Saying No is Self-Care
Saying no is a beautiful form of self-care. Too often we will say yes to opportunities or to people that are not good for us, out of fear that better things won’t come. We will say yes to opportunities when we already have too much on our plates. Or we will say yes to staying […]
