When I say “change your story” I am referring to the loop of thoughts that run through your mind on a regular basis about who you are and the experiences you’ve had in your past.

Yep, I’m climbing up on the new year post bandwagon for the first time. This is mainly because if 2018 has done anything, it’s show me a few places I need to put in some work. Also because, you know, I haven’t posted anything in a while and…new year – new beginnings, right? (Spoiler alert: […]

I’ve hit that in-between age now where in certain conversations people may look at me and say, “Oh, you’re still young!” at which I smile brightly and love them unconditionally for saying so.
