Have you considered lately how you’re honoring your core values and staying true to yourself? And if you’re not, what small changes could you make to honor them more?

Why are we so hard on ourselves? Why are we constantly feeding ourselves lies? Why is it easier to say “I am not” vs. “I am?”

It’s time to change the narrative.

It’s strange to think that one year ago we had no idea that a global “year of firsts” was upon us. I certainly didn’t know it at the time, but as I reflect, what’s impacted me the most is probably less common: the first day without a commute.

The race to “knowing what I want to be when I grow up by 40” is near and thankfully, I’m having a breakthrough. But why? I remember my why.

If I were to ask friends and colleagues to give a list of my qualities, I bet most would say that I’m confident. I’ll admit, I can command a room – I was also blessed (or cursed) with a very loud voice. There is a big difference though between external and internal confidence.

As the holiday season approaches, I can’t help but think about all the gifts 2020 has brought. That’s right, gifts. And not in a no pain, no gain kind of way (although that would be an interesting debate).
