Sometimes a change in scenery is what is needed for your own nourishment. It can give you a fresh perspective or help get you in the right mindset for what is to come. A few years ago, when I was still working for the man, I had a job in big tech that was beyond stressful. I think it was the only job I ever had where I had a few days where I actually

Anger that makes our blood boil can be a huge motivator. It gets a bad rap for being a ‘bad’ or ‘destructive’ emotion, but sometimes it is needed for us to finally make a change in our life.

As much as I appreciate the convenience of our cell phones, I feel like we have reached a point in our society where we need to seriously re-evaluate how we spend our time. Too many of us spend hours on our phones, infinitely scrolling and observing what other people are “doing”. I put doing in quotes because what we see online is curated content that is really just someone’s highlight reel and what they want

We all love the underdog and the people who went through so much to get where they are. We don’t gravitate towards those who just project success without their story of struggle. One of my favorite stories is Oprah’s. As a child, Oprah Winfrey went through hell enduring sexual abuse.
