Mindful Mornings: The Power of Podcasts
July 22, 2017
As I re-launch my site, the main direction that I plan to take involves a lot of venerability and transparency. As I mentioned in my about me section, I really want to share the highs and the lows with you guys. That being said, today I wanted to share part of my wellness daily routine with you guys.
This might come to a surprise to anyone who knew me in college, but I’ve had A LOT of dark times since moving to NYC a year ago. And I don’t mean just sad, I mean that I was struggling to get out of bed every morning and cried at least 4 times a week because I felt so defeated.
I still fight these feelings frequently, but I know my life and happiness are in my own hands, so I decided to do something about it. By adding this one simple step to my morning routine, I feel so much stronger and inspired. What’s the one step I took to change my life? Listening to informational podcasts.
Each day, I listen to a designated podcast based on the handy little podcast schedule I created ( I know, very nerdy and type A of me). These podcasts talk about everything from career and business advice; financial, physical and mental health; relationships and more. Basically they all serve the purpose of helping the listeners become better versions of themselves. But I’m not exaggerating when I say that listening to these inspiring messages every morning rekindled my fire to fight for a better life.
I hope these podcasts bring as much inspiration and clarity to your life as they have for me. What episode stood out the most to you? do you have a go-to podcast series that you listen to when you need some encouragement? Let me know in the comments below because I’d love to add some more to my list!

We're Gonna Be Alight: Friendless in a New City
July 1, 2016
Life has been a little rough since graduation. I moved to NYC in mid-June and have been hustling to try to find a job. At first, I was really discouraged about moving to a city with little money, a small amount of friends and no source of income. But while I was in a coffee shop near Soho the other day preparing for a coffee date, I realized something: this detour in my plan of world donation is a gift. I

Airport Update
June 13, 2016
I'm currently sitting at the airport waiting for my delayed flight to New York City to board. One of my favorite ways to pass the time is by people-watching. As I'm sitting here fighting the urge to go get a double choclaty chip frappuccino (i'll lose my precious spot at the charging table) one question keeps running through my mind: why are there so many attractive men in this airport that dress so poorly? Honestly, I think it's quite sad. I've only seen three well-dressed men during the past few hours I've been here. I wish more guys understood the power of tasteful streetwear. I am still in Georgia, so I should probably lower my expectations. It's just hard not to compare these southern gentlemen to the well-dressed men of New York. Until next time.
xoxo
