Today there's a large spotlight on health and mental wellness. Wellness inspires self-realization and motivates action--in essence, it requires us to change and grow. Practicing wellness is wonderful.

I absolutely loathe the world should. It's a horrible word, and I wish it would just go away. But it can't, and it won't. So, all we can do is not use it.

Does your life look the way you wanted it to? Do you have the particular number of kids you’ve hoped for, the Prince Charming you’ve planned for, the friendships and career you’ve worked for? Is it just as you pictured?

Last night I sat around a table with two other girlfriends, eating and catching up on different parts of life like career, self, and motherhood while we tended to the four littles divided among us. 

COVID has changed a large variety of societal habits—consumer behavior; familial engagement; professional and educational. These changes came abruptly at quarantine’s onset, leaving no one—or no thing—as impact’s exception.

The holidays are among us and our attention is focused on making them memorable. We all would certainly like the year to leave us on a high note.

New Year resolutions and goals are for some, and not for others. With approximately half of people making some type of commitment yet less than ten percent keeping it longer than a few months, it shows us that we’re a malleable people whose desires and wants ebb and flow.

Up to this point you’ve thought about your strengths. Your weaknesses. Where they came from; how and why they were evolved or kept hidden. This dive into self has probably not been easy—its required remembering the past and honestly looking at the present.

Rather than simply accepting, embracing and going forth with our strengths, perhaps it’s important to consider why we develop some strengths more than others.

This month, we’re delving into a strengths & weaknesses series that’ll offer insight on how to identify, use, and leverage strengths and weaknesses in relationships: the relationship we have with ourselves, our littles, and others.
