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 …
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 together. People tell me that …
I will always be what I say, is a “recovering perfectionist”. I spent most of my entire life chasing perfection, so it’s not always so easy to completely stop chasing the unrealistic ideal that is perfection. For my mental health modules, I enjoy getting feedback, but also cringe every time I get an email telling me someone filled out the …
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 bed in the morning, or …
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 in relationships, that only continue …
Happiness is letting every situation be what it is, instead of what you think it should be. I came across this quote on my phone from 2017. Just a few months before I was about to leave the relationship I was in that held me back and put me down, and finally be set free. That quote probably meant so …
I love the work that I do. I get to work with some remarkable young people who want to change the world for the better. I remember when I was their age, I felt so afraid to speak up about what I was going through. I remember having people in my life that I admired that openly spoke badly about …
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, but 2020 has had other …
Hold onto hope. A simple statement, that can be so hard to do. This week, my family and I remembered the exact pain and fear that we felt this time last year. This time last year, my mom was being diagnosed with stage 2 pancreatic cancer. This time last year was one of the worst times of my life. The …
Are you an overthinker? I’ve been someone who overthinks my entire life, which certainly didn’t help my anxiety. Over time, I’ve managed it more, but I still have moments when I can become consumed by my thoughts. I still struggle with the need to meet expectations of others, and those expectations can sometimes fuel my sense of self-worth. This may …
