When I agreed to write this, I thought, “oh what a simple thing to do! I am all about self-care!” And then as I sat down to actually complete this blog post that thought quickly changed to… “actually maybe now isn’t the best time for me to be giving advice on that…” See, if you had asked me to write …
Learn to trust your voice and your gut, it often leads you in the direction that you need to go. So often we hear our inner voice guiding us, and yet, we are afraid to follow that guidance. We may have a truth that needs to be told to someone, and we are afraid to speak the words, because we …
Hello! My name is Faith and I am one of the general interns at 1N5. I recently graduated from the University of Dayton (UD) and Northwestern’s Pritzker School of Law.

If you’re looking for a sign, look within yourself, look at your past, the lessons you have learned. The answers are there, you just have to take some time to reflect. I spend a lot of time talking to my mom in heaven. I spend a lot of time asking her for signs of wisdom, signs of comfort, signs that …

They were upset that the woman in front of them didn’t come prepared to the store with her coupons. They very well may have been in a rush or had already …
There’s been a lot going on in my family. Unfortunately, my father-in-law passed away two weeks ago and that’s been shocking and challenging for us all. It’s felt so unfair that we have lost yet another parent in such a short amount of time. Through all of this, I’ve had to find ways to support my husband, deal with the …
I was back in my Wednesday morning routine, running on a treadmill at my favorite fitness class with my favorite instructor, doing what I do. I pushed the button and let my feet start rolling but today I wasn’t feeling it. A couple minutes in and I thought, do I leave now or leave in a couple songs. I wasn’t …
