I decided to share my own experience and story about my journey with anxiety. A little over a year ago I was experiencing the worst crippling anxiety I had ever dealt with, but thankfully I had amazing loved ones and found a great therapist to help me through one of the toughest times of my life. There’s still a stigma surrounding anxiety and other mental health issues. I wanted to share my story to help get rid of that stigma, as well as help anyone feel not alone if they’re experiencing anything similar. Sometimes you don’t realize how common mental illness is until you findRead More →

  I did it, you guys! I made my first Youtube video for this blog!! In the last few months of exploring and learning about personal development, manifesting and the Law of Attraction are topics that have come up frequently. A friend of mine asked me if I had heard about manifesting before, but I was officially introduced to the idea in my favorite book, You Are A Badass. It’s all about the power of your mindset, and how if you raise your frequencies to a high and positive level, the Universe will respond with exactly what you need. Don’t believe me?

The other day I received an Instagram message from a follower who was still learning about self-care and what works best for her. She mentioned that she sometimes finds herself using “self-care” as an excuse, instead of an act of self-love. I could definitely relate to her experience. I’m not perfect. Even though I’ve had a longer experience practicing self-care, I unfortunately still occasionally find myself using self-care as an excuse to be lazy. For example, sometimes I find myself binge-watching a new show instead of working on my blog. Even though I know I had the energy and time to work on my priorities,Read More →

As I started diving into the personal development world, I kept seeing this bright yellow book everywhere I looked. It had quite a memorable title: You Are a Badass: How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living an Awesome Life by Jen Sincero. I’d find it on Instagram, Pinterest, in Target, Barnes and Noble…literally everywhere! One day I was feeling rather down and defeated about where I was in life. I was still in my full-time corporate job but knew I needed to start moving forward towards something else. Nothing was panning out – none of the jobs in my area sounded right, andRead More →

Today’s the day. In a few short hours, you’ll interview for a job. Not just any job, but a job you desperately need.

Guest Post by Kristen from Sophisticated Gal It feels like not long ago I was going to one of my Advertising courses in college, spending countless hours on our final project that determined my grade in the class and if I would graduate. Fast forward three years and here I am settling into my career, looking back on the lessons I’ve learned since starting my “big girl” job in the real world. Since I started my career, I have learned so much about what it means to have a job in the “real world”. When you’re in college, they don’t really teach you what itRead More →

“Make a conscious effort to surround yourself with positive, nourishing, and uplifting people – people who believe in you, encourage you to go after your dreams, and applaud your victories.” – Jack Canfield Once you graduate college, you have a higher flexibility to pick your friends as an adult.

While it’s sometimes challenging to find friends as an adult, this is a fantastic chance to surround yourself with positive and uplifting people.Read More →
