Validated. Supported. Encouraged. Inspired. Motivated. This is how I felt immediately following my first residency experience. There is something so empowering about spending a long weekend with a group of people who share the same goals & values that you do; we all came from different backgrounds & had different stories, but shared a common [...]

Mental Health Check-In
Hi there! I started this blog to challenge myself to be vulnerable, so here goes: I’ve been struggling a bit in the mental health department. I’m okay & thankfully I have plenty of established coping skills, but my anxiety has been not so great lately. (Edit: woke up in a much better headspace this morning, [...]
Summer Goals
Hi! It’s summer, baby! It hasn’t fully hit me yet but I think I officially feel the tension starting to leave my jaw.

Tips for Becoming a (Reluctant) Morning Person!

Don’t Let Others Dim Your Light
I’m sending you love on this gloomy Monday. I hope your week is as wonderful as you are! Happy (ish?) Monday! We have NO control over other people; what they say, what they do, how they interpret things you say or do. We can only control our own reactions. That’s easier said than done, but [...]
