While I would wager most of us are familiar with the term imposter, I’m not exactly sure how many of us can say we have heard of, or, furthermore, know a thing or two about Imposter Syndrome. Like the name of the condition itself suggests, Imposter Syndrome involves being under the impression that any success … More Are you familiar with Imposter Syndrome?
While a saddening realization, I would wager that just about each and every one of us could think of someone when asked if we know someone who fails to be treated how they should. Unfortunately, women tend to fit this description more often than men do. Furthermore, this sort of poor treatment most often occurs … More Know your worth
As much as I try my hardest to live a life that doesn’t allow the opinions of others to bother me, I’m human, and therefore fuck up every now and then. Not just with living this mentality, but with just about everything. Ain’t nobody perfect, despite how many people try to give this impression. I … More Disassociating with the opinions of others
Every now and then, I’ll check the Apple News app on my iPhone. I will be fully transparent and admit I don’t often check the news, mainly because for so long the only topic being covered was COVID-19, and also because it’s rather fucking depressing.

Confidence, in my own humble opinion, is one of those things that people either have, or don’t. There really isn’t much middle ground in the equation of confidence; it’s either there, or it isn’t. I don’t really know how someone could be half-confident. It’s one or the other. For some folks, confidence comes quite naturally, … More Read this to learn how to boost your confidence
I am someone who arguably dabbles in self-criticism more often than I should. I’m not entirely sure why it is I’m so hard on myself, but I have been my entire life. I think it stems from my perfectionist tendencies, if I had to take a guess, but I’m sure there are other contributing factors, … More Are you too hard on yourself?
Social media, as wonderful as it can be, can simultaneously be destructive towards those who make use of it. And by destructive, I’m referring to the inevitable occurrence of comparison that comes with social media. It’s extremely difficult to avoid comparing ourselves to others when we’re scrolling through our social media timelines. We compare ourselves … More Stop comparing and start celebrating
Setting aside time to do things for ourselves is something I firmly support. Life can get chaotic, and the importance of taking some ‘me time’ has never been so valuable. Unfortunately, ‘me time’ may be something that commonly gets axed in our lives. We get caught up in other duties and responsibilities, and before we … More How to make more time for yourself
