Okay, so you’re ready for the next level. You’re confident you can do the work, and possibly even improve some things if you had the chance. So now what?

You strongly believe you’re worth the promotion or due a raise. But what do you do? How do you go about asking your boss to boost your platform and possibly your paycheck? Well, there’s actually a pretty foolproof method to prove your worth and pave your way forward. It may not be easy at first, but I would be shocked if this doesn’t work. No boss would want to cower in…

I thought I was…
Happier than this.
Stronger than this.
Better than this.
More optimistic than this.
More realistic than this.

I never would have expected myself to have these episodic depressive states where I feel down, then lonely, then completely alone, and then empty.

I never would have expected myself to have taken this path, to be subject to this crap. Not me, not me — mister “unrealistic optimism” as my signature tagline chants.

Pssh — to hell with that. I’m not sure if I even believe in that at all during the days when I feel my worst.

You’re wasting more time and attention than you realize, now stop it ;)

Take back your time, take back your life.

The news does not control your attention, it does not control your focus. The news does not control your life, but we often act like it does. We often let the news take leadership over our lives by controlling our emotions, our perception and stress of the life we live.

News consumption consumes our lives. How much do we really need to know?

Ask yourself, have you ever experienced some news reports that negatively impacted your mental health, emotional stability, or kept you up at night?

If you love to enjoy all things tacos and burritos, spice and veggies, and looking for meat-free eating, you’re in luck! More options are coming!

More than ever before, people are looking for ways to reduce their intake of animal products and this famous restaurant chain has made it even easier to eat more veg.

The trailblazing, Beyond Meat will also be on the menu soon too! I can’t wait to gather again in-person with friends and fam in a newly reinspired, vegan-friendly Taco Bell, which has ramped up its marketing focus for making “food for all.” Everyone could deserve…

Our world today surrounds us with food products in abundance, with little to no food to provide adequate nourishment to our bodies. Why?

I believe food can heal. In fact, I’ve seen it to be true in my life and many others I’ve worked with at this point. From helping to treat my mom’s chronic autoimmune condition (Crohn’s) to my fond memories of smoothie demos with chemotherapy patients at a local hospital, I know what food can do.

Food Can Be Delicious and Nutritious

I’m twenty-five years old. I’ve graduated college with a Master’s in Nutrition & Dietetics, and passed my board exam to become credentialed…

Technology Transformation

Seriously, if you thought we were digital before — just wait.

We thought we lived in the world of increasing screen time and the growing digital age before, the events of 2020 sparked a surge that hasn’t dwindled since. We have many more digital and virtual frameworks for everyday living. Parents are working from home. Screens are taking over our kid’s lives, not just in movies and video games anymore, but in education and leisure too. As in any sector of technological advances, there are always risks and benefits.

Remote work, less flying, less driving, less traveling in general while we are stuck indoors. Standard service businesses and brick n mortar…

Too Much to Think About

“I don’t understand this. It doesn’t make any sense.”

Don’t worry, me either.

As the world continues to learn more through 2021 from the pandemic of Covid-19, it’s safe to say there’s been a lot of opinions for decision making thrown around. Did we get things right? Where did we go wrong? It’s a lot to take in. News and media are working overtime to keep up with the day-to-day changes (often hour-by-hour). Similarly, many people have felt they must stay on high-alert to take in all the information needed to stay safe. Sparking the amygdala in our brains —…

Authenticity allows you to be free. You don’t have to hide. You don’t have to stay in the shadows, put on makeup, or wear a pseudo-smile mask just to please someone else.

No, authenticity is about you, living with freedom. You don’t have to live life behind a mask, a camera, or even a computer screen. Authenticity is about about living your life with self-confidence in full transparency. You don’t have to feel like you’re walking on eggshells with your parents or in-laws, coworkers or your boss.

You can be yourself, your greatest self, when you live your life authentically.
