I'm back! My last post was over a month ago, and I'm honestly surprised that I was even able to make that one. It has been an absolute whirlwind of a summer! I think I spent more time out of my home than in it. I'll run through a quick recap because I don't post … Continue reading Do What you Love
I live my life in such a way that I do not have very many regrets. And I am thankful for that. But I know not everyone feels that way. I make decisions that I stick to, and I live with the consequences. I want to provide a thought process for how I'm able to … Continue reading Sticking To It
I've been talking a lot about being in the tunnel and in the midst of the rougher patches of my life. But today, I want to talk about something different. I honestly don't remember most of November through February. I can tell you about isolated moments here and there, but I can't remember the transitional … Continue reading The Light at the End of the Tunnel
First of all, I just want to say again a huge thank you from the bottom of my heart. This past weekend was the first event for my business, and I am so wonderfully overwhelmed by the amount of support we received through this whole process and during the event itself. It definitely made us … Continue reading Set Up Parameters
I think it's so important to show up for yourself. And I don't necessarily mean things like "dress for the job you want, not the job you have" or "remember your why" (a common one in teaching that I just can't get behind). I mean showing up for yourself, even when it's hard. I have … Continue reading Show Up for Yourself
We live in a society that often values people based on how they look. We have conversations about "skinny privilege," "pretty privilege," and even "color privilege." Those are all real. However, on the flipside, we also have become more accepting of people of other sizes. Models who don't fit the stereotype are becoming more prevalent. … Continue reading Body Positivity
Change is scary. Trying new things is scary. But those scary moments help us grow and they help us become better. In educational psychology, there's an idea called the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD). ZPD is the ideal moment between work that is too easy and work that is too challenging. If the work is … Continue reading Do What Scares You
Welcome to 2025! It's a brand new year. I don't know about you, but I needed a fresh start in more ways than one. I hope that this year provides opportunities to follow that plan. Like with any first post of the year, I want to talk about some of my goals. I do this … Continue reading Start Into 2025
As we near the end of 2024, I'm looking ahead to 2025 and my goals. One of my goals for 2024 was to read 30 books I had never read before, specifically ones that I had already owned or bought. I have done this! I am at 31 books at the start of December with … Continue reading My 2025 Reading Challenge
I have made a decision for myself. After some events that happened last month, I've decided to lean in to myself, who I am, who I want to be, and what I like. The first realization that has come from this is that I am and want to be soft. I like dresses and flowers. … Continue reading Soft But Powerful
