When You’re Not Good Enough for Imposter Syndrome and Realizing You Were Failing for a Different Reason than You Thought.
I’ve been working on a piece about imposter syndrome for a few weeks now. As usual, I find that if the words aren’t flowing, that means there is something wrong with the premise of the essay I am writing. I finally realized today, that I couldn’t write something about being an imposter, when I feel […]
5 Alternatives to “What Can I do To Help”
Often we have great intentions to help a loved one when asking how to help but by opening with such an open ended question, you’re adding more to their plate. You’re awesome for wanting to support your loved one. Giving them something specific lets them know you aren’t just all talk and gives them ideas […]
The Ups and Downs
Note – this isn’t as polished as a piece that I post on purpose… because I’m going through the ups and downs. I do plan to come back to edit/improve for the future. The unpredictability of chronic illness may be the most difficult aspect for me to wrap my mind around. I also believe it […]
Solidly Mid-Thirties Now

Time is on my Mind
Our relationships with time are complicated. Thinking about my own relationship has become a necessity and something I can’t escape.
Is Self-Care Important?
Spoiler Alert: Yes, Self-Care is Important. I almost hate talking and writing about Self-Care because of how it has been turned into a gimmick. It has become a quick note of something that you should do to survive a difficult phase, or something an employer tells its employees to do without giving them the actual […]
Why The Mddl
All the marketing courses and gurus want me to really solidify my why so that I can ground all of my marketing content to serve that mission. I have written little snippets here and there, but I sat down to write something for myself and realized, why don’t I write it for everyone! If you […]
I am too excited about Air Fryers 2 years too late
My parents got me an air fryer as an early birthday present (because I asked, they’re the best). I’ve thought about getting an air fryer for a long time but always talked myself out of it. Friends, I was wrong. I finally pulled the trigger because of the accessibility of it. Being able to quickly […]
Middle of the Day Nap
Yes, I am shamelessly using a puppy napping because that is the tone of this essay.
