Welcome to the blog!
Everything you’re about to read is based on my own experience. It may be a personal take on something, a way to cope, or a helpful anecdote. Read on and let me know if there’s anything you’d like me to write about.

Oh right, I should be writing
Wow, it’s been a minute, huh? My new job is great but because I’m really never home now (and when I am I’m completely exhausted) finding the time and energy to write simply isn’t there. Let’s see if we can crank out some kind of update post, though, shall we?

Never let good be good enough
This was a catchphrase on a training video for a job I had many moons ago. A coworker and I had a running joke about it for a while because we both thought it was completely ridiculous, but in a weird way it’s kind of stuck with me. Could it be my perfectionist side coming out? Yes, of course. I always have this need to be “perfect” and make people proud, though often it feels as though nothing I do will ever be “good enough” so… is it true that I can never let good be good enough?

What does the future hold?
When you’re in high school, you’re constantly asked, “Where do you see yourself in 5 years?” Maybe it’s on a college application or during an interview, maybe it’s a guidance counselor.

Feeling like a crash test dummy
You know that feeling when you’re just crashing over and over again and no matter how many times you crash it just keeps happening? That’s where I am right about now. My whole life has felt like a test… and I keep getting an F. I can’t remember a single year of my life where something monumental or life-changing or devastating didn’t happen. You’d think that eventually the universe would give me a break, but it hasn’t happened yet.

1 year, 2 months, and 4 days
That’s how long it took for me to be able to work in the office at my “new” job. For new readers, you can catch up on my job journey here and here. It’s a bit of a read so hang onto your hats. Let’s give a quick recap, though, for those who have forgotten.

An 11 year journey to confidence
Recently I was interviewed by a friend who’s starting a new podcast. The conversation was flowing really well and she was asking some insightful questions. Then she said something that really struck me…
