I saw a TikTok the other day (can you tell I'm obsessed with TikTok?) about a cancer patient who asked if they could still buy green bananas after their diagnosis. Because they weren't sure if they were going to be around for the bananas to ripen. We take every day for granted. Every avocado I…
When I was promoted two years ago, I felt a lot of pressure to be confident, in charge, and to show what I knew. A lot of the time my assertiveness ended up coming off as aggressive and negative. I was still learning how to be comfortable in a new role and I now know…
I don't really believe in starting off the New Year with insane health goals. But I do believe in the excitement around a new time that can motivate you to be healthier and be a better you. I would never push for crazy diets or starting to overdo it on your work outs, but I…

Life has handed me a lot of lemons lately with very little sugar. If I were to try to make lemonade, let's just say it would be very bitter. If I back up and take deep breaths and get out of the moment - there have been plenty of good things that have happened to…
Happy New Year all! I hope you had a great time during the holidays and had a chance to sit down and relax for once - I know those moments are hard to come by. My 2017 will include a lot of goals, positivity, and an overall look at my mental and physical health. I…
