Traditionally, communication in business has always been in two broad formats; casual and formal. There are those watercooler conversations that lighten the mood, and the formal conversations that happen behind the double doors of a conference room. We see these 2 types of communications all throughout media, and have probably experienced them in some sort […]

I’ve recently noticed a shift in media, especially social media and within younger audiences, geared towards the idea of being selfish. This idea that you should cut off anyone and anything that does not serve you. Although I do agree that we must take time for ourselves, prioritize our own mental and physical health, etc., […]

It’s officially autumn. A new season has arrived and with it comes the gleeful anticipation of the many holiday get-togethers, warm memories that will last a lifetime, and the every-day joys of routine elements that seem new and familiar at the same time. It’s such a joyous time of the year; a closing of a […]

If it’s in your heart, it’s already yours. I don’t know about you, but every time I get a thought or feeling of something that I want or need, I know it to be true. Where that feeling stems from and what the consequences are is a different conversation, but I know I can have […]

If you grew up watching Disney princesses, you probably had this fantasy-type idea of what relationships looked like. As you got older, relationships looked a little more like rom-coms; the girl went from partner to partner trying to find the one, always choosing the one that was obviously wrong for her, or completely isolated herself […]

Shame concerning what could have been, what should have been, what did happen that shouldn’t have, how your actions/behaviors played a part, etc. Then comes the fear; fear of what if that happens again, fear of the unknown. Then you […]

The beauty of living life is in the middle. Just because one thing ends (death) and another begins (birth), doesn’t mean we must live in a way that is linear; life is continuous, it happens and flourishes in that cycle. Like a wave, it rolls and renews, but it doesn’t end, and you don’t know […]

As young children, most of us are raised with an equitable focus on each of these; the mind, the body, and the soul. For example, we are taught the importance of an education and intellect, we are put through endless doctor appointments and fitness activities, and the teachings/power of faith and spirituality for our soul.

At this point, you’ve read so much about the way I live my life; tips, how-to’s, inspirational quotes, etc., but probably have little knowledge as to what or how I’ve come to be this way. With most things in life, you can’t exactly pinpoint when there was a huge change or some kind of pivotal […]
