Managing the Highs and the Lows

How to be Empathetic When You Just Don’t Get Along with Your Coworkers

Alright so the workplace is not all warm and fuzzies, as much as my internal Human Resources self wishes we could all just get along, that isn’t always possible. It’s not that we are bad people, well I guess some of us are straight up A holes, but for the most part, people mean well. […]

The Morning Routine for Efficiency and Well-Being

My perfect morning typically happens on a day that I work from home. I keep my alarm set at 6:50am. When my alarm goes off I get out of bed and make my bed. Some days this takes me a little longer than others, not gonna lie. Then I sit in bed and write 3 […]
