I’ve been thinking about zones of control, decisions/choices and going with the flow lately. This summer hasn’t been the fun-filled productive break from winter sadness that I wanted and needed it to be. But when things come along to shake up your world and change your life, you have to remind yourself of what you… Continue reading The Truth About Growth

Daring Greatly
Difficult things are only difficult until you do them. Then, they may still be hard, but you now know you’re capable of them. I did the park run yesterday. I ran my fastest 5km ever. The stats and numbers that comes with athletics or sport can become addictive and somewhat problematic. Would I have felt… Continue reading Daring Greatly

There are no podiums here
It’s important to take note of those moments when you feel most confident. When you feel most comfortable and expressive. What topics do you know the most about? What people do you open up to the most? What environments make you feel calm? This is all great feedback. This is the you that you want… Continue reading There are no podiums here
Growth, spring and what it all means for me this year
I’m not quite at the big 3-0, but my turning 29 in under a month feels important. Like it’s my last chance to send off my 20s with a big hoorah.

The Age Panic and Our Mental Health
Work hard while you’re young. Travel while you’re young. Date around while you’re young. Learn while you’re young. Start a business while you’re young. Don’t wait too long! Have a baby while you’re still young. Settle down into a home you’ve bought while you’re young. It’s embarrassing to wait too long. It sounds like society… Continue reading The Age Panic and Our Mental Health
How to be a master of your craft
For a while, finishing university meant I felt like an expert. Or at least, like some of my expertise had been validated by society. But this isn’t true. I’ve always said, but I guess I forgot, that learning is never done. It’s not a destination to be reached, like now I am knowledgable or an… Continue reading How to be a master of your craft
A love letter to myself
It’s Valentine’s day. The commercial day for proving you love someone(s). It’s cliche now but I want to dedicate today to loving myself. Proving to myself that after all the heartbreak, I still love myself. Because I don’t act like it. In a relationship, I would be deemed the neglectful, abusive partner at times. Constantly… Continue reading A love letter to myself
