How To Survive Travel Burnout

I know I must sound like a broken record lately, with all the talking I’ve done about our recent travels, but honestly it feels like that’s all there’s been to talk about. It’s been an all-consuming part of our lives for the past few weeks, and now we can finally relax and reflect back on [...]

How to Not Stress the F Out

How to Not Stress the F Out

Okay so one of you suggested the topic "How not to stress the F out" quite some time ago, but I hadn’t written anything on it because, quite frankly, I really didn’t feel qualified. For one, I wasn’t working at the time, so I didn’t actually feel all that stressed. Plus, when I did feel [...]

3 Ways to Show the Love this Valentine’s Day

I know that, for some, Valentine’s day might not be the most pleasant holiday. It may serve as a reminder that you’re single, far away from your loved ones, or it may just intensify the feeling of general loneliness. And regardless of what it is, it’s not easy. Anything that forces you to face something [...]

I Got Covid: Here’s What Happened

So, after nearly 2 years of being able to avoid this damn thing (by staying home, eating outdoors, getting vaccinated, and so on and so on), it finally happened. I got Covid. At this point I feel like it was more a matter of when, not if, so I wasn’t super surprised or panicked. I [...]

Don’t Let Shame Take You Out of the Game

This week I listened to an episode of the Goop podcast with Glennon Doyle. I love Glennon. The words she writes speak right to my soul. I have so much admiration for her as a person, the way she lives her life, and the way she expresses it to the world, so of course I [...]

The Struggle Is The Point

The Struggle Is The Point

This past week was a good one. Dan had a week off and we got to go to the mountain, celebrate Thanksgiving, go on a couple dates and relax at home. And, as nice as all of this was, I also felt a lot of heartache. I saw multiple posts on social media about people [...]

Cures For The Post-Trip Blues

This past weekend Dan and I and some friends of ours took a quick little trip to a hot springs, in a cute little mountain town about 3 hours outside of Denver, called Glenwood Springs. For my West Coast friends, you actually pass it on your drive out to Denver. I’d highly recommend staying a [...]

Loving Yourself At Every Stage: Part 2

Toward the end of this same year is when I took the next step in my journey and decided to go off the pill. Within a few weeks the weight that hadn’t been coming off with all the other lifestyle changes I’d made, started to melt away. I lost 10 pounds almost instantly. But see, [...]

Loving Yourself At Every Stage Part 1

I know this title “loving yourself at every stage” is a little vague, so let me explain what I mean by it. I originally wanted to write a post about my journey with weight loss, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized how my weight loss really had very little to [...]

How To Stop Worrying When You Embarrass Yourself

How To Stop Worrying When You Embarrass Yourself

Earlier today I was on a call for work, and I asked a question at the wrong time. I felt SO embarrassed about it. All kinds of thoughts flooded in: did I make the other person feel uncomfortable? Do they think I’m incompetent? How will they feel working with me moving forward? Did I hurt [...]
