Something I struggle with as a woman in a position of leadership is dealing with things authentically when they go south. One of the main functions of running a business is problem solving. Things are always going wrong especially when a company is coming out of the start-up phase and into growth mode. In my business, this fact has one hundred percent rang true. It's interesting though, because I feel like addressing these issues works differently for a woman, than it does fo

They say that twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the things you did do. Yet for some reason, we still function within little boxes. We are conditioned to pick a single career course in life and to believe that this single course is the way to getting the things we are supposed to want out of life. I call BS. Don't get me wrong.

Phrases like, "I can't build a blog when I work all day, need to meal prep and workout on top of studying, and spending time with

Procrastination is a habit many of us struggle with. You'll be glad to know that it is a struggle you no longer have to endure thanks to this HBIC life hack! A few months ago I discovered the cure to procrastination: Touch things once. We all do it - open that text, read that e-mail, and then close out of it (promising we'll get back to it tomorrow). Tomorrow comes around and once more you just say the same. Before you know it, you never got back to it and you're either late

Growing up I always believed that I was meant to do big things in life. I felt that no matter what I chose to do, that I would be a good one.
