Sleeping is something that I was told on repeat by my mother that I did not enjoy as a baby and toddler. It was likely because I lived in a chaotic household and was stressed out, but naturally (in her opinion) I was simply the issue. Nowadays, sleep has become a huge piece of 24 hour day, and I realize …
Being a confident person is something that I would imagine most people want to achieve. Some people naturally have more than others, so it seems, and we wonder how that happens. There are those whose parents did a good job with helping them build it, and there are those who have built it up themselves through the years. And then …
In today’s ease of convenience, it’s easy to hop online to purchase this, that, or the other. It’s something I find myself doing for certain items rather than calling around or making an effort to step into a store. Growing up in a small business, it was impressed upon me to try to find whatever it is I need locally …
This is a topic that I have been wanting to write about for a while, but also a little hesitant about because of the connotation about hiring a coach. It has lately felt like every woman who hated corporate went into the coaching business and is making more than all of us combined. Sometimes it also feels like a cult. …
Social media gets a lot of bad publicity in my opinion. The way people choose to use it can absolutely be toxic, but that’s their choice. For me, I use it to partake in more positive and fun interactions, as well as promote my small businesses that don’t have a large advertising budget. Since I also don’t have a very …
We are bombarded every single day with information. Whether it’s on the television, through social media, or by other humans, we are receiving news. I don’t know about you, but it gets overwhelming at times, so I’ve had to figure out how to best let it into my life. Over the years, I’ve filtered out things that have left me …
Saying no. How does that make you feel inside when you read that? If you’re a woman (especially), it’s likely to make you feel uneasy, uncomfortable, squeamish, and all sorts of other negative things. Hating to disappoint people is something many people, particularly women, have been conditioned to think is bad. Putting others first is some type of heroic act, …
Jumping on board with “Dry January” was something I decided in December. It was after coming back from a trip to Europe where I indulged in all things wine that I decided, starting in January, I was going to give it a rest for a solid month. Throughout the rest of December, I mentally prepared myself by giving positive affirmations …
When we are born, like the second we are born, everything is neutral. There are no expectations to be the best little boy or best little girl, the brightest student, the best athlete. Oh, how quickly those things change, though. We are quickly bombarded with the issues and opinions from the adults who surround and raise us. They tell us …
Solo travel is a hot topic. For us solo travelers, we can’t imagine or understand a world where people don’t want to travel alone. I mean…you get to do whatever you want whenever you want. No one is stopping you! Solo travel almost becomes a necessity for our mental health. For those who can’t imagine being alone for one minute, …
