Oh boy, where do I even begin? The struggle is definitely real when it comes to expectations placed upon us... especially in my experience as a woman.

We live in an age where kids get Participation Trophies for everything. For a long time, I hated that tradition. But, dare I say it? I can see the value (now) in recognizing the strength and hard work that person put into something. Especially when things didn’t work out like they hoped, or dreamed they would.  I'll show you how to celebrate yourself.

Passionate Living is about finding out what makes us happy and then making sure we do those things more often.

Living inauthentically robs us of our time and leaves us with regret.

There is probably nothing worse than knowing any breath could be your last. In theory, that goes for any of us but at 47 it’s not something you think about like you might at 97. 

For many years I have felt a pull toward my version of freedom. 

After many years in successful but unfulfilling jobs, I started trying to figure out what was wrong with me. (It had to be me right?) Why didn’t I like the “good jobs” I had? Why did I feel so out of place? 

Then I realized I was a generic employee, leaving my talents at home.
