I recently wrote about how I feel like I’m always on the defense and trying to prove myself. Sometimes I do so to such a fault I lose a sense of humility and being grounded. I just get so tired of being doubted or questioned that I no longer believe that I could be wrong…

Proving Yourself
One thing that can become extremely exhausting is always feeling the need to prove yourself. I think I’m a pretty defensive person, I’m a middle child so I feel like I had to hold my ground a lot growing up. Felt like I had to prove myself while sandwiched between 2 older sisters and 1…
How To Actually Support Women
I think we talk a lot of talk about how we want men and women to be equal and many men say that they support women 100%. But I don't think they really know what that support entails. I saw the following images on Twitter and was disgusted with the reaction from guys who are…
Take More Selfies
I think I'm in the minority when I say people need to take MORE pictures of themselves. In a time of influencer culture and kids filming Tiktoks in the streets, I'm one of those people that says "good for them." It's hard to be self-confident. I think it comes in waves, you feel really good…

Imposter Syndrome And False Confidence
I doubt myself every day. I pretty much don’t feel like I deserve everything I have. Like if I have something good, I probably tricked someone to get it. I feel that way in relationships, in academics, and in the workforce. And I’ve been this way for a long time. I think it stems in…
I Don’t Know What I’m Doing And It’s Okay
If you eliminated all the people in your life asking you questions, pressuring you, and telling you what to do - where would you be? At one point in your life, you're going to have to fake it until you make it. That point in your life might just be now, in your 20's, when…

Knocking Your Confidence Down A Peg
I don't have much confidence in myself. I often describe myself as awkward, uncomfortable, not a very emotional person. And physically, I'm even meaner to myself. So when my confidence is knocked down a peg, it's pretty detrimental to me. I've had my eyes opened a lot lately. Although I'm hard on myself, I do…
