Word of the Week: Boundaries Life Lesson: I probably get 2-3 requests per week from people who want to “pick my brain.” About my career path, about the coaching industry, about my grad program at Columbia, about previous companies I’ve worked for, about finding a therapist, about freelance writing…you name it! The business industry has […]

Word of the Week: Healing Life Lesson: I have had the flu three times this past year. Three times! That is three times too many. Not surprisingly, the last two times were around Thanksgiving and Christmas. And they both caught me completely off-guard. I thought I was being so careful using #allthehandsanitizer, not over-committing myself, […]

Word of the Week: Generosity Life Lesson: We need to talk about generosity. The holiday season can bring up a lot around the concept of giving, receiving, and what it means to be a “good” person: If someone gives me a gift, do I have to reciprocate at the exact same value? Do I need […]

Word of the Week: Simplify Life Lesson: As I was preparing for my graduate school finals back in December, I turned on my iPad to discover that when Andrew had logged me out of my account a few weeks prior, none of the notes I had taken in 2019 saved. Every single one was gone. […]

Word of the Week: Listen Life Lesson: Happy 2020 beautiful MV community! While I am not really big into setting New Year’s resolutions anymore, I do enjoy setting aside time at the start of a new year for self-reflection. I created a vision board for my personal hopes and dreams, Andrew and I created a […]

Word of the Week: Self-love Life Lesson: When I look back at 2019, I am struck by the theme of releasing and letting go. Lots of shedding, grieving, and periods spent going inward. While wildly uncomfortable at times, I discovered how freeing it can be when you stop relying on external forces to make you […]

Word of the Week: Rest Life Lesson: Right before we left for our trip to Germany a few months ago, I developed a calf injury. My calf hurt so bad I could barely walk. I was convinced our trip would be ruined because I wouldn’t be able to walk anywhere and nothing I did to “make […]

Word of the Week: Bold Life Lesson: One of the overarching themes I decided I wanted to embody for my branding photoshoot was to be bold. I wanted to be bold enough to let the “real me” shine through. Not the safe version of me. Not the most likable version of me. Not the corporate […]

Word of the Week: Release Life Lesson: Back in October, I felt an itch to give my company a fresh look. The biz photos I was using were almost two years old and something told me it was time for an update. While it seemed like a silly thing to prioritize out of the many […]

Word of the Week: Authenticity Life Lesson: I have always had a heightened level of sensitivity. As a child, I could tell when the milk was going bad days before the rest of my family. Every person had their own scent. And I always seemed to know exactly the right thing to say, even at […]
