Let Yourself Grow + Evolve
The notion that 2020 has been a year of change is not new. We all know we’ve been forced to change our way of thinking, our habits, our social and work lives. That doesn’t have to be a bad thing, though. The universe has given us all the chance to grow and evolve, and we […]
It's Ok if You're Feeling Unmotivated
It’s okay if you’ve been feeling unmotivated. Some things may have come easily to you before, and now you’re finding it difficult to get those same tasks done. Know that you aren’t alone. I too, right now, am feeling wildly unmotivated to write this blog post. I’ve been feeling incredibly unmotivated to get out of […]
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 […]
Body Positivity
This week for #WarriorWednesday, Caroline McKeown, host of the vlog DearCaroline, spoke about body positivity in the age of social media and comparison. She shared her experiences with body image issues as well as coping skills to help build confidence and self-worth. Remember, you are loved and you are beautiful!
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 […]
Listen to Your Body
I’ve talked a lot about the importance of balance in a busy schedule and how necessary it is to take time for yourself. Often, though, I don’t follow my own advice, and I get so wrapped up in whatever I’m supposed to be doing for others that I forget what I’m supposed to be doing […]
You Deserve to Take a Break
It’s okay to take a break. Taking breaks has always been really hard for me to do. Because it is hard for me to take breaks, it becomes hard for me to really and truly relax. This week, we went on our COVID style honeymoon. We were supposed to be traveling through Portugal and Barcelona, […]
You Are Capable of More Than You Know
Push yourself out of the boundaries and limits you have kept yourself behind. It’s amazing how resilient and capable we truly are if we just believe in ourselves. I remember for so long I used to say that I wasn’t creative. So in turn, my mind often went blank at new ideas and I boxed […]
The Number on the Scale Does Not Define You
About a month and a half ago, I got rid of my scale, and it was the best thing I’ve done for my mental and physical health in a long time. At the end of June, I moved into a new apartment, and I decided not to bring my scale with me. Before then, I […]
You Already Have the Strengths Within You
It felt a little rusty to give a speech last week. I have given speeches here and there during COVID, but none consistently as I had been doing pre-COVID. I was a bit nervous and took a lot of time to prepare and make sure I was ready to go and knew what to say. […]
