PROFESSIONALISM. No matter what your job is, or where you work, you will encounter people who challenge your sanity with their unprofessional behavior. That’s going to happen, and sometimes…sometimes all you can do is smile through your frustration and learn from their mistakes. Whether it’s a coworker who fails to do her job to the extent […]
EMBRACING YOUR FEMININITY. Yeah, I said it. Be who you are, whoever that is. If you’re going into a situation where you know you’ll accomplish your goal by presenting yourself (and therefore your project) in a certain way, there is no shame in doing so. So go out there, be who you are and who […]

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 […]
GO TEAM! The ladies in this picture made the dinner on the table in front of us, and we did it as a team. If the four of us – who are spread across three countries and two continents – can come together after years apart and make tasty magic, then surely people who are […]
Guys! I’m on my way with Misty and her bf Steven to go to Alleluia! The Devil’s Carnival. We banged out a quick podcast just now because I told you I’d stop talking to myself with this thing 😉 Also, she’s a budding female filmmaker whose voice should be heard…
