Welcome y’all!

I started this blog to document and share a huge shift in my life. For so long, I sought a life that felt aligned to my values. A life filled with purpose and joy. Today, as I reflect on my journey towards this authentic existence, one guiding principle stands out: “follow the plan, not your mood.” This mindset has empowered me to stop dreaming and start actively seeking the life I wish to lead.

Choosing your Hard

By embracing this mindset, so much has changed for me. I moved to a new city, married the man of my dreams, and I’m finally in a career that allows me to have impact without completely depleting my energy and happiness. It all started when I realized that changing my life won’t be easy, but I get to choose my “hard”. By choosing my hard differently, I have found a path that allows me to pursue challenges and joys in equal measure.

Here are five things that helped me start living authentically:

• Embrace your passions: Identify and prioritize activities that bring you joy and fulfillment.
• Align with your values: Make decisions and pursue goals that resonate with your core beliefs and principles.
• Practice gratitude: Cultivate a mindset of appreciation for the present moment and the journey you’re on.
• Seek genuine connections: Surround yourself with people who support and uplift you, fostering authentic relationships.
• Embrace vulnerability: Be open and honest with yourself and others, allowing for genuine connections and growth.

What’s next?

Through my upcoming blog, I aim to share my stories and experiences as I continue to pursue a life that brings me joy and fulfillment. From topics like mental health and physical wellness to career planning, marriage, and spirituality, I hope to provide insights and inspiration for others on their own journeys towards authenticity and purpose.

I invite you to join me on this path of self-discovery and empowerment, as we all strive to choose our hard differently and live with authenticity and intentionality.
