We live in a society that views exhaustion and overextended schedules as badges of honor. Even after the world slowed down due to COVID, many went right back to the daily grind of working long hours and filling our days with resumé-enhancing tasks, some more eagerly than others. We’ve fallen right back into subscribing to the idea that truly taking …
In a weird way, the pandemic has reignited my passion for my work. For a while, I was writing blog posts more as an obligation than as a desire to help others. I was in a slump, not feeling really positive or optimistic about the future. I know not everyone is in the same boat as me, but the pandemic …
Winter is and always will be my favorite season. I don’t mind the cold, and the holidays always make me feel nostalgic. When I was growing up, the holiday season was a big deal in my family. It wasn’t even about the gifts. It was a time for togetherness. We’d put all the distractions from the rest of the year …
Some people come into your life for only a season, but for the most important reasons. We will never fully understand why some people come into our lives and why some people leave.

It is not a mystery that I was in an emotionally abusive relationship, I blog about it all of the time. However, I never truly knew if …
Self-growth is not easy. Sometimes, we realize things about ourselves that we need to change in order to be the best version of ourselves. We all have negative habits, and sometimes we don’t see that they’re negative until they cause harm to ourselves or others. When that happens, we realize we need to make a change. Sometimes it’s small, sometimes …
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 legit kill me and that …
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 both sides of the aisle …
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.
