GRACE. It’s super easy to get swept away by the emotion of a situation, to allow yourself to embrace the first reaction. But I’m working on thinking before reacting out loud in front of other people – because, really, it’s just this moment that’s terrible/sad/stressful/frustrating.

DREAMS. Firstly, I’M BACK, PEOPLE! Most importantly, though, this week’s episode is all about coping.

BALANCE. It’s super hard to achieve sometimes. I get it. I struggle with it every waking moment. Don’t be like me, y’all. Don’t lose sleep, don’t use food as your primary means of finding satisfaction, don’t let the men in your life expect you to schedule your life around theirs. Make people respect you and your […]

BOUNDARIES. I know, I’m the girl who’s always working, always too busy to hang out with my friends. But I’m also the girl who takes weekends off from the entire world to do only the things I want, and that’s why I’m happier and better at work than I have been in years. From someone […]
