How I’m overcoming Imposter Syndrome
A few months ago, I moved to a new state and landed a new gig in marketing. New responsibilities were added – managing the social media calendar, creating social media content and campaigns, designing graphics and holding down the fort while my supervisor was out on maternity leave. That’s when those feelings and thoughts surfaced…

Let’s Charge Up those Immune Systems this New School Year
It’s been over a year since my child has physically gone to school. Today was her first day into third grade! We’ve been prepping for back-to-school for the past couple of weeks – shopping for school supplies and snacks, going to bed early and visiting campus. She’s been so excited, but as a parent I’ve…

Behind rejection is opportunity
Rejection. Do you remember the last time you felt rejected? I do. It was when the guy I grew interested in told me it wasn’t going to work just hours after he told me he liked me A LOT. That same week, I felt it again when my supervisor scratched off my marketing campaign idea…

Your strong friend gets tired of being strong
You know how some people are naturally conditioned to give?

Pushing pride aside for my child, co-parenting
My first years as mom were crazy. I was so angry with my daughter’s dad – so angry I would curse him out. During our first years as parents, there were times when he’d disappear for months, only to swoop back in. The tension felt when we were in the same room was difficult for…

Parents: You better watch your mouth, too
After catching myself yelling at my child, I asked myself: If my co-worker or if my supervisor at my new job yelled at me would I be able to effectively do my work? Heck no. As parents, we think a lot about how our children speak to us and how they behave. We are so…

You are not your job title. Let that sh– go.
There’s one question I really can’t stand—especially when meeting someone for the first time— the question of, “So, what do you do?” Barf. Why do I hate that question so much? Because I’ve realized how so many of us identify ourselves with our work, truly believing that our work and our title is our identity.…

Giving God your YES when the future is unclear
Saying YES to God when it’s unclear what the future looks like means accepting what is on the other side before you get there. Easy right? Pffft – you’re telling me. Saying YES to God takes boldness and real, I mean real, blind faith. I personally experienced this a while back when God whispered to…
