I couldn’t be more thankful for these guys! When we went back to school in the fall, I started setting weekly intentions for myself. This felt like a good way to be gentle with myself & not to feel too much pressure while teaching. It felt comforting & productive while not overwhelming. I really recommend [...]

I’m Proud of Myself
This was a difficult year! There is so much to be proud of. Acknowledging my accomplishments isn’t something that comes easily to me. I’m not sure if it’s something women are conditioned (thanks, patriarchy!) or if it’s something else, but I rarely discuss my accomplishments or things I’m proud of myself for. I wanted to [...]
It’s Not Always Rainbows & Butterflies
I wish I could tell you that the journey to body confidence is all rainbows & butterflies. I’m the first person to say that it’s hard! Some days, your favorite jeans aren’t fitting how they used to. Or you get out of the shower & don’t like the way your stomach looks; maybe your thighs [...]
Stepping Outside of my Comfort Zone
Wear the clothes you want to wear! I kid you not, one of my favorite outfits in 4th grade was a white skirt with black & white polka dot leggings underneath. In 5th grade, I wore a hot pink blazer with a pink & orange floral top under it. Bright colors, sequins, bold patterns, I [...]
Someday…
I could wear a bikini, if only I’d lose 25 lbs. I could start a blog, once I learned everything there is to know about blogging. I could go on a fun weekend trip, if I worked out five days a week for a month. I’d bargain with myself. I was limiting myself, depriving myself. [...]
Current Obsession: Midi Dresses!
I love midi dresses for so many reasons! They’re super versatile & can be dressed up or down with whatever shoes you want. I’ve been wearing mine with sneakers + a cardigan for work, but can’t wait to style them with booties & jackets if the weather ever cools down! https://videopress.com/v/ySM4YQTT?resizeToParent=true&cover=true&preloadContent=metadata This first dress is [...]
A Quick Mental Health Check-In
Hi there! I wanted to just do a quick mental health check in. I hope you’re doing okay & hanging in there! I’m hanging in there but I’ve also just felt like I’m not functioning at my best. I feel tired. I feel good some days & am having terrible anxiety the next. I have [...]
You’ll Get There.
I hope this post encourages you! I know I can’t be the only one who sometimes feels like my goals are JUST out of reach; close enough to almost touch & yet so far away, all at the same time. Working on a graduate degree that will help me achieve my DREAM while navigating teaching [...]
Negative Comments & How I’m Dealing with Them
If someone chooses to make a negative comment regarding your appearance, that is a direct reflection of THEM. It has nothing to do with you! I got my first mean comment on an Instagram post the other day. It was a man who runs a business, who commented on my weight. It stung, for a [...]
Things I’m Thankful For
This week was hard. On top of going back to school & navigating the craziness that is COVID times, it was also the anniversary of my friend Bekah’s death. I felt my mental health suffering throughout the week; I try to be mindful of when I’m struggling but a sure sign that I am is [...]
