The Weight We're All Feeling (And How to Keep Your Power Anyway)
Let’s be honest — things feel heavy AF right now.**air high five?!** 😕 Work feels different. The world feels tense. Everyone’s tired. Between layoffs, “do more with less” messaging, constant change, and, well, everything else that's happening in this country… gosh, it’s a lot. 💯 And yet most of us are still showing up trying to act like we’re fine. Because...that’s what we’ve been taught to do — keep it together, be grateful, stay positive. But pretending everything’s

Stop Waiting For 'Someday'
For years, earlier on in my professional career, I thought that if I just show up, do hard work, keep my head down... eventually someone will notice and give me what I want and what I deserve. ➡️ Spoiler alert: it doesn't happen like that. Sure, I was seen as “the dependable one” — which I think we can all agree basically means the person we can pile more work on because they won’t complain . And what I've learned through coaching clients and conversations with friends, th

What if the problem isn’t what you think?
If there’s one thing you may not know about me yet, it's this - I ❤️ a good personality assessment. Give me a Strengthsfinder, Enneagram, DISC, Myers-Briggs… I’m in! I’ve taken them all — not just once, but probably a few times each — and I’m endlessly curious about what they reveal. (If we’ve worked together, chances are I’ve asked you your type too. I just can't help it.) Lately, I’ve been getting daily self-insights through a portal my employer provides. It pulls from

Feeling Like You’re Not Doing Enough? Let’s Talk.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve caught myself scrolling social media or hearing about someone’s big promotion and immediately spiraling into " ugh, I’m so behind". Sound familiar? 🙋♀️ It’s like these beautiful brains of ours are wired to measure our worth by what everyone else is doing #comparison. Here’s the thing: comparison feels harmless at first —just a passing thought, right? But over time, it entrenches deeper and gets sneakier...it starts to whisper things l

Plot Twist. You Were Qualified All Along.
Do you ever second-guess every move you’re making? Yeah… me too. 🖐️ For a long time, I found myself questioning so much in my career— decisions and my capabilities It was exhausting . And uncomfortable AF. At the time, I didn’t have a name for it—I believed the self-doubt thoughts that I wasn't qualified for the role I was in. Looking back, I realize I was pretty deep in imposter syndrome. And the truth is, a lot of us are… even if we don’t call it that. We’ve all like

"Maybe It’s Just This Company…"
For years, I kept switching jobs thinking, “Maybe it’s just this company.” 😉Six roles in 10+ years of working in HR, and still… nothing had felt truly right. The truth? I love helping people, but in HR, I wasn’t able to do it in the way that felt authentic to me. I thought I had a job problem—turns out what I really had, was an alignment problem. It wasn’t until I had my first complimentary coaching call back in 2021 where I said out loud what deep down I had always know
