So I had a mini-breakthrough yesterday after chatting with a friend of mine in the morning… I am constantly seeking external validation. The context of the conversation was actually in regards to my recent dating experiences, but I realized it extended well beyond that. Simply – I am always yearning for recognition by the individuals […]
I took a gamble, and it didn’t pay off. At the end of this past summer, I left my comfortable gig as Director of Marketing for a men’s fashion brand and took the leap to become VP of Marketing at a plant-based meal delivery company. I was extremely excited at the time as I felt […]
So, it’s the time of year again when most people are setting up resolutions that they will quickly give up a few weeks later. We’ve all done it. The new year comes around, we have this burst of energy and inspiration to do better, and then gone… There’s a variety of reasons why people give […]
You may be asking, where the heck is part one? Well… I wrote it many many years ago here. I figured it could be good to revisit what I’d want to tell myself if I had the chance to speak to him, just incase what I wrote at 26 didn’t hold up. Surprisingly, a lot […]
I’ve been thinking about this question for a little while now… so let me ask: why is it so hard for us to be honest with ourselves about what we want? A lot of us lie to ourselves in some capacity, whether it’s about our career, who we’re dating, or even if we’re truly content […]
Time has been a topic on my mind quite a bit lately, especially as we all seem to have a lot more of it on our hands since last year. I’ve noticed that as a general rule of thumb, the majority of us have no concept of time as it relates to our mortality. What […]
2020 brought a lot of lessons, with one being the importance of maintaining a proper work-life balance. Those of us who were fortunate enough to keep our jobs during the pandemic also found that a merging of our work & personal lives started to occur, whether we liked it or not. As my living room […]
It’s the beginning of 2019, so that means it’s around that time of year when the ‘new year, new me’ motto comes back for about 3 weeks and then disappears until Jan 1 of next year. Personally, I don’t like to make new years resolutions for the simple fact that I don’t think my goals […]
I never know how to start these things… should I be witty? Serious? Use a quote? Post a song? Tell you a joke? Anyways. 2017 was a big year for me in many ways… probably too many to list. Some major milestones include; my responsibility at Five Four (soon to be Menlo House) grew exponentially, […]
So, it’s been a few months. Tonight was the first night in a while that I’ve had a chance to slow down and relax. In the past few months, work (and side work) have been incredibly busy, on top of having consistent visitors from Canada, all while attempting to still have a social life. In no way […]
