  • The Power of Lifelong Learning in Your Professional and Personal Life
    Sep 28 2023

    Everyone earns a college degree or reaches some form of an educational pinnacle — then what? Most people shelve learning new things once they are out of their academic phase of life. The same people who dedicate years to nurturing passions like sports, music, or the arts, only to abandon them and just…work.

    Lifelong learning goes beyond textbooks or getting another degree. It’s exploring your curiosities, even if they’re unrelated to work.

    It fuels personal growth, boosts confidence, and increases happiness. It helps us adapt to the ever-changing world.

    I know, learning something new can feel like adding more to our already busy plates. But the good news is, it doesn't have to be overwhelming or consuming.

    The world is diverse, and so should be the knowledge you possess. Whether it provides you professional success or personal happiness, there’s always something new to learn or a perspective to explore. So, never stop learning.


    *Heads up, I’m OOO for the rest of 2023 😉 – I’ll be back in early 2024! xoxo*

  • How to Manage Self-Created Stress
    Sep 14 2023

    Believe it or not, most of your stress is self-created. And it’s easy to think there’s nothing you can do about any of it. I know better now. We take an already difficult situation and make it so much worse than it actually is. That’s why it’s critical to know where your stress comes from and understand how you’re making it worse with your thinking and behavior.

    But when you accept full responsibility for your role in creating and maintaining your stress triggers, managing stress is in your control. Tune in to learn how to change the way you look at potentially stressful situations, and change how they impact you!
