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 …
The journey toward getting to know and love yourself is a beautiful one. It’s also one that takes time. You don’t wake up one day and say, “well, the work is done. I don’t need to keep learning to love and take care of myself.” You do, however, get beautiful moments of appreciation for the kind acts you’ve done for …
This week for #WarriorWednesday, Caroline McKeown was back with a new episode of #DearCaroline from quarantine to talk about maintaining positivity and mental health during this situation. She says it’s okay to feel your emotions if you’re forced to quarantine. Being isolated for 14 days is hard, and it’s okay to be sad about that. She also says, though, to …
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 …
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 should take advantage of this …

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 …
For #WarriorWednesday, Caroline McKeown was back with another episode of her #DearCaroline vlog. This week, she took the time to tell each and every one of you that you matter and you are loved. You deserve to be alive. Sometimes, we need a reminder of the beauty life has to offer, and Caroline is here to tell you why you …
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 …
Life is about more than just accomplishing the next task on your to-do list. Work is, of course, an important part of life, and building yourself a career doing something you love is something for which we all strive. Work is not, however, the only thing that matters. I’m often guilty of spending too much time on work and not …
