Changing of the Seasons: Dealing with Change
Happy summer friends! It’s been a hot minute (or few months?!) since my last blog, but I’m baaack with some fresh new content, new topics, and, of course, a few surprises. When I started blogging, I committed to you, and to myself, that this blog would remain authentic, raw, real, and beneficial for my readers. I won’t blog just to blog and I won’t blog if it doesn’t feel like my content is coming from a place of authenticity. Safe to say, I’m feeling inspired. Recently, I had a really great chat with one of the ladies in my group coaching session (Health Coach over here, in case you missed…

Oh Hey 2018, So Nice to See You
I promise, I’m not trying to make this blog a once-a-month thing, it’s just, ya know, life. Similar to my post-Thanksgiving blog, I took some much needed time away from social media, blogging, and other digital thangs to focus on time with my family. While I wish I could have entertained you all amidst a crazy month, I unfortunately just couldn’t do it. So without being super repetitive…I’m back. And just like that, it’s 2018 and I’m 32 (NYE baby over here). 2017 was quite the year. I lost my job, I started a new one. I travelled to Denver, Portugal, and lots of places in between. One of…

Human Connection this Holiday Season
It’s been a hot second. Can you believe it’s 12/1! So, I know that I mentioned November was one of my FAVORITE months in my Newvember blog…but, in all reality, December may be my numero uno. I mean, who can deny the glory of 24/7 Christmas music on every adult contemporary station? Or 25 Days of Christmas? I get the warm fuzzies thinking about it. Not to mention, I start the month off with my anniversary and I end it with my birthday! Throw in some Christmas shenanigans with the family, dressing Charlie the dog up as Santa Clause, and the official return of oversized sweaters, leggings and boots…and well,…

NEWVEMBER: A MONTH FOR CHANGE
It’s Nov. 1 and you know what that means…Newvember! There’s something about November that’s just so darn exciting. Maybe it’s the holiday decor. Maybe it’s the change of the seasons. Maybe it’s the family get-togethers. Maybe it’s the promise of 2 back-to-back months of vacation days. Whatever it may be, there’s an air of both hope and impulsive magic that seems to flourish. Around this time last year, I was a month away from my wedding and between celebrating the wedding of one of my all-time besties and finishing up my own last-minute wedding deets, I didn’t fully embrace the opportunity to reflect and make some moves. Quite frankly,…

Lessons I’ve Learned from Grammy
This blog is going to be a little different. But, hang in there with me. One thing that I’ve found to be super helpful as I set goals, both personally and professionally, is to find a mentor or coach to help me, guide me, and provide me with the accountability and motivation to achieve my goals. So today, I’m going to tell you about an OG mentor of mine…my Grammy. Today is Grammy’s 95th birthday and she looks amazing! Don’t worry, she’s not afraid to tell you that either. Recently, she asked the woman doing her make up at my sisters wedding if it was “difficult to work on…

My Love Hate Relationship with Rent the Runway
Let me start this one off by saying, I am the WORST when it comes to purchasing clothes. I can window shop for days, but to actually commit to purchasing or, god forbid, trying on clothes...I just can’t do it. This specifically becomes an issue when I have a special event coming up and need to find something schnazzy to wear...basically, I’d just wait until the absolute last second, and settle on something cheap. So, when I heard about Rent the Runway a few years ago, I was intrigued.

HALL PASS: HOW TO GET BACK ON TRACK
And sometimes, life happens and you give yourself a hall pass. The important thing is: you get right back on track. Often, not being able to rise after falling is the BIGGEST obstacle preventing us from reaching our goals. Trust me, in the years I’ve spent working with clients, participating in challenge groups, and hey…the 30+ years I’ve been alive, I see it repeatedly. But instead of preaching on and on about this, I’m going to point out five ways to get back on track with whatever your goal may be

Tuesday Thoughts: Be THAT Person
It’s about to get real feels-y in this piece. I started this blog because, for some crazy reason, I think by sharing my story, my struggles, my triumphs, and my knowledge, I’ll be able to help someone. Maybe not directly…and maybe not immediately. But somehow, people will find resolution, motivation, a plan of action, or even just consolation knowing that they aren’t alone. It’s not easy opening up. In fact…it’s TERRIFYING. I kept a lot of the things I’ve struggled with bottled up and despite the fact 97.5% of the people I know probably caught on to a lot of it, I never openly discussed things. It was one thing…
