If only I had more time… Raise your hand if you’ve ever said that to yourself or anyone else. (Unless you’re in a public place, in which case, I’ll let you off the hook with a blink.) You probably already know on a deeper level that it isn’t really lack of time that’s stopping you […]
The starting place for any adventure, project, collaboration, big leap, epic change, scary ass challenge that I take on is answering the simple question: Why? Why am I doing this? Why am I really doing this? Why does this matter to me? It’s not often I get asked these ‘why’ questions. More common is ‘How’? […]
Do you feel like you’re ready to quit? Do you feel like you’re flogging a dead horse and beginning to look like a creazy person to you fam and friends? Do you have an iron-clad grip on a project or pursuit that is costing you time, money and energy – and your sanity? Then OH […]

What is the importance of journaling? Moreover, what is the importance of journaling for introverts? Well, let’s start with what I mean by journaling. Bujo’s (bullet journals) are incredibly popular on Instagram and the internet at large, but this is not what I’m talking about here. I’m talking long-form, ideally handwritten, dear-diary style writing. I’ve been […]
Should I stay or should I go? I can never decide! I don’t meet the right people at networking events. I go to events but I feel so awkward there I don’t feel like I make a good impression. I sign up to events but end up bailing at the last minute because I can’t […]
