2021

There is no disputing it, 2020 has been one hell of a year. It has been a year that nobody expected or could have planned for in any way possible. And since the year took a drastic turn so early, many people were already wishing for 2021 as early as April. The easiest answer was …

Infertility 5 Years In

It’s been a while since I have talked about infertility and I had something that triggered me, so I thought I would talk it out with you. If you are on the infertility journey, this conversation may be a trigger for you. The trigger was a person I know stating that if they accidentally got …

It’s Your Reaction

I’ve heard it so many times in the personal development world and I shrugged it off. I didn’t think I could reset my attitude or mood in the moment by adjusting my reaction. Until I did it. Now I’m a believer. That ‘it’ is the famous quote from Epictetus that reads It’s not what happens …

I Don’t Know How to be a Friend

Friendships are typically two-way relationships. Typically. As I look at all of my friendships, I see that I have a door up and it is a one-way only door. I don't share with my friends as they share with me. Why? It's not like I don't trust them. I’ve come to the realization that I …

Family Doesn’t Mean Everything

I have a friend who has some deep and painful issues with her family that we’ve been talking about quite a bit lately and it reminded me of all of the work I’ve done over the years to overcome some similar familial challenges. I won’t tell you her story because it isn’t mine to share, …

Comparison

I was talking to a friend the other day about goals and what we need to do to achieve them. We were specifically talking about the things we can do on social media to get more of a reach. He had mentioned that he doesn't like being in his social pictures with his product because …

It’s Never Too Late

It's never too late to change. It's never too late to take back control of your life. It's never too late to chase a new goal. It's never too late to become the person you've always wanted to be. It's Never Too Late. Never. A lot of people I knew growing up conveyed that they …

I Don’t Feel Like It

I don’t feel like it. You’ve said that a couple of times, right? Yeah, I thought so. Me too. In fact, I thought that many times before actually sitting down to write this post. But here I am. I am writing this because I want to talk to you about getting shit done even when …

Holidays

We are full force into the holiday season and that brings either tremendous joy or immense stress, or both, for each of us. Today, I want to focus on how extended family impacts us. As a child, we always got up and went for both Thanksgiving and Christmas. I do remember being able to open …
