    It’s that time of the year again! I’m sure you’re sick of hearing it, but can you believe it’s almost Christmas?

  • Are You Struggling To Find Meaning Right Now? Because, Girl, Same | Asking For Advice

    Before I go into this post, I just want to preface it by saying that I’m writing this in a low mood state. Writing is cathartic and I’m hoping by the end of this post I’ll feel lighter, but just to warn you, in case you too are in a dark place right now, that Read more

  • Don’t Bring Your Feelings To Work… Or Anywhere Else They Don’t Belong

    This post is entirely inspired by this video by Mrs Midwest, so I gotta give credit where it’s due.

    Going with the flow is something I say a lot, but I find it very hard to do in practice. I’m someone who likes to have a plan, to have things figured out, before I try them because I get too overwhelmed otherwise. While this mindset can be useful in some areas, my eyes are Read more

  • What If You Already Have Everything You Need?

    We can be our own worst critics. No matter how hard you work and how big you dream, chances are the gremlins in the back of your mind are always pulling you down. They will tell you that you’re not good enough, that you can’t do that, and sometimes that you’re just plain stupid. Now Read more
