The real flex is…
When most people think of yoga, they picture serene stretches and deep breathing on a mat. And while I’m all for a good vinyasa flow to start the day, yoga is so much more than a physical practice. It’s a mindset—a way to center yourself amid the chaos and approach your day with clarity and…

Sustained…
Ok, so I’ve been on a bit of a Suits bender, hence the title. Let me make one thing clear, my quest to live a more sustainable lifestyle still stands. Sustainable living isn’t about trading in your car for a bamboo bike or foraging for berries in the backyard (unless that’s your thing, in which…

Do less…
I’ve always been one to appreciate a well-curated collection—be it books, skincare products, or playlists. But nothing says “I’ve got my life together” quite like a streamlined capsule wardrobe. The concept isn’t new, but it’s become a bit of an obsession lately. Perhaps it’s the allure of doing more with less, of stepping into my…

It doesn’t rain on Sunday’s – part 2…
Let’s talk about resistance, shall we? That silent enemy we all think we need to battle, the invisible force that makes us feel like we’re sinking deeper into frustration every time we try to claw our way out. We’ve been trained to believe that being stuck is a problem, something to solve. But what if,…

No parking from here to the corner…
Let’s face it: burnout days are like a “no parking” zone in the middle of your perfectly planned route. You want to stop, give up, maybe even throw your keys out the window and walk away, but something keeps telling you to push forward. It’s like a little voice saying, “Nope, you can’t park here.…

So you’re saying there’s a chance…
I always end up making blog posts about what I am doing. You know, all the shiny new habits I’m working into my routine, all the ways I’m basically crushing it. But let’s be real—I rarely talk about the stuff I’m not doing or where I’m dropping the ball. No one wants to admit where…

It doesn’t rain on Sunday’s…
Dedicated to the most special person in my life: a little girl with big dreams and an even bigger personality, who never fails to remind me why it never rains on Sundays. Thank you, Gigi, for always being my light. Not going to lie to you, I’m not exactly thrilled with the title “motivational speaker.”…

Hey, They Call Me Connie and I’m an Addict…
I know what you’re thinking. Connie? Addict? Those two words together don’t paint a pretty picture, do they? But hear me out—this isn’t the usual story about addictions that spiral out of control. My addiction is a little more… socially acceptable. Maybe you’ve got the same problem. The culprit? Caffeine. My beloved morning ritual, the…

Let’s make lemonade…
“As we move toward our dreams, we move toward our divinity.” – The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron It’s funny how life has a way of pulling us back to the things we love, even after we’ve wandered off course. For me, that love is writing. I’ve been away for a while—call it a creative…

Rerouting…
In my mind, detours add 45 minutes to a 15-minute drive. Now, I understand that this isn’t always the case, but try telling that to the frustrated traveler in me, watching the minutes tick by as I inch through a maze of unfamiliar streets. It’s ironic how the paths we never intended to take often…
