What. A. Year. 2022 was a year of so much change. At the end of 2021, I was dealing with a lot. I was pregnant, and although my pregnancy was mostly healthy, it was a very high anxiety time for me. I had recently cut ties with my family of origin – a difficult but necessary decision, and I had a lot of feelings about everything. I have not and probably will not go into a ton of depth about…
For many around the globe, January represents a fresh start and a new chapter. While you can certainly make a goal for yourself any time of the year, now seems to be the time when people do it the most. Today I want to talk about something called a Vision Board. It is an easy activity and daily practice to help you stay focused and achieve your goals for the year ahead!If you’ve read the book The Secret or seen…
When I think about the last year the only way I could describe it is as a growth year. Getting through the end of 2020 and the entirety of 2021 has felt a lot like getting pulled through a car wash. There were things to be addressed this year, feelings to be felt, and experiences to face, all of them demanding their turn to be acknowledged – whether I felt ready or not. And I took it – I didn’t…
Happy New Year! Guys – we did it. 2020 is over! And while I realize that the new year does not flip a switch in world events, I will say that I feel optimistic and hopeful about what this year has in store.

I think (and hope) that the vaccines being administered will be successful and that with vaccination and continued adherence…

This particular new year will be bringing me face to face with major life decisions I’ve been intentionally saving off for 2020, and so for that reason, I am…
As I am writing this it is October. Only three months remain before we embark upon 2020. I have recently realized that this season of Fall is the perfect time to begin thinking about the goals you would like to achieve in the coming year. 2019 was the first year of my life that I made a New Year’s Resolution that I consistently worked on throughout the entire year. I learned that when you focus on goals that are realistic and obtainable…
Happy New Year! 2017 was quite a whirlwind of ups and downs for me. My husband and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary, I went to my second Green Day (my favorite band) concert, and my sweet baby girl, Julia, was born! Julia’s birth and the week that followed were the scariest points of the year for me for sure. However, although 2017 changed me in so many ways, it also gave birth to a new me – a stronger,…
