How to Make Friends After College as an Adult

Saying that life has been crazy for everyone would

Saying that life has been crazy for everyone would be an understatement.

When I decided to take a break from my biz in February, little did I know what was going to happen shortly after... Well, none of us knew all of this was going to happen. This whole experience is so new for all of us...how were we supposed to know how we would handle it?

I’ll be the first one to say that it’s really easy for me to ignore my emotions bubbling inside. I focus on my goals, my to-do lists, and everything I want to accomplish before realizing that my heart was screaming for a break.

This whole quarantining experiencing has forced us to pay attention to those feelings. Right now is the BEST time to turn inwards and learn exactly what you need in order to take care of yourself in every way.

I cried. I grieved. I journaled. I meditated. I stayed strong for loved ones when they needed it. I’ve had days where I’m productive and days where all I did was play Animal Crossing.

And that’s okay.

TikTok has honestly been something ridiculous and fun that makes me smile throughout all of this, so don’t be surprised if you see more videos like this in the future 🤗

My goal is to help you in any way I can. Need book recommendations? I got you. Need self-confidence or self-care tips? Lets do this. Need someone to vent to because everything can be just a little too much? I’m here.

You’re going to get through this. We’re going to get through this.

Stay safe, pay attention to your needs, and be kind to yourself. We’re all in this together. 💜

Our school system has it all wrong.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Well, at least about this one thing:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Failure.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
School teaches you that failure is your worst enemy. 😤
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Fail a test? You’re the worst in the class.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Fail your book report? You did too much wrong and there’s no way of fixing it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Our school system trains children to perceive failure as this horrible, final, negatively life-altering situation. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And in return? We are conditioned to fear failure. 😖
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It took me until the summer before my senior year in high school to realize that my fear of failure was what propelled me to become a perfectionist.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
See, our school system trains you to live your life trying to avoid failure at all costs - to consistently do your best. Prepare as much as you can ahead of time, and you *should* end up on top.

If not? Clearly you didn’t try hard enough, and now your grades will affect your entire GPA. 🙃
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The reality? Failure is what you make of it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you have a fear of failure, using this fear as your motivator to do everything right in your life and experience crushing blows when you DO fail, today’s podcast episode is for you.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Failure doesn’t have to be this big, terrifying thing.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In fact, failure only happens when you allow it to happen. You can redefine failure for you in a way that helps you take those risks and go outside of your comfort zone in ways that you couldn’t before because your fear was holding you back. 🙇🏻‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How do you do this?

Are you spending time doing things that actually a

Are you spending time doing things that actually align with what you want in life? 💓
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It's easy to get caught up in the day-to-day routine, going to work, coming home, making dinner, working out, going to sleep, lather, rinse, repeat. 😪
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you're not spending time aligning your purpose with what you do every day, what kind of life are you creating? 🤷🏻‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Often times this is because you're not clear on what your purpose actually is - your life mission to create a positive impact on the world. 🌎
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If this is you, put a 💜 in the comments and make sure to watch my free masterclass (link in bio), and learn my three secrets that will help you finally find clarity and discover your purpose in life!

Now that we're (finally) in the second month of 20

Now that we're (finally) in the second month of 2020, life may have thrown some unexpected curveballs in January. 😣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Throughout this year, keep the following quote close to your heart when you start experiencing these unplanned struggles (because let's be real, they WILL happen!):
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"You have been assigned this mountain to show others it can be moved." ⛰
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You are completely capable of conquering whatever mountains have been thrown your way. Some of you may already be aware of a few mountains you're already working on this year. 👊🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If so, what are they? And do you have an action plan to try and conquer these challenges? Share them in the comments! 👇🏼

How do you stop comparing yourself to other people

How do you stop comparing yourself to other people?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Next time you find yourself negatively comparing your life and progress to people you follow on Instagram, try these two steps:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1️⃣ Put yourself in their shoes. When you see their successes and happy moments on Instagram, do you really think you're seeing the full story? Really stop and consider what challenges other people may have experienced in order to achieve their success.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2️⃣Flip the script - pretend you're someone else comparing themselves to you. What do you think other people are jealous of when they look at your Instagram page and your successes? You might be surprised just how much progress you're making when you change your perspective.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Is this something you struggle with? I used to get so stuck in the comparison trap that it'd trigger deep anxiety and stress. I've become a lot more self-aware about when to put down the phone and focus on myself when I notice some of those negative thoughts, but it takes practice! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you feel similarly sometimes, know that you are NOT alone! 💜
