One of the mindsets that I have come to master, and absolutely LOVE, is the idea of progress over perfection. I’ve always been a self-proclaimed perfectionist, and I firmly believe that it goes back to my early days as a gymnast when I was told that anything less than a gold medal was categorized as [...]
Does your life feel messy? Maybe turned upside down to the point where you can’t seem to get a grip? This is one of the most unsettling feelings in my opinion, especially being that I like to keep a clean, organized, and ducks in a row environment around me as much as possible. Someone taught [...]
Did you know that I started my career in professional sports as a NBA stylist? It was never my end goal, but it was my best bet at getting my foot in the door. You see, the thing with the sports industry is that you have to have clients to get clients. And being that [...]
It’s so easy to get caught up in the million and one things on our to do lists and forget that those who love and care about us most usually need (and only want) the least from us. I came to this realization the other night as I was rocking Skylar, my oldest, to sleep. [...]
Do you do one thing everyday that scares you? This charge for action from the late first-lady Eleanor Roosevelt is one that always reminds me that taking a step outside of your comfort zone is truly what is necessary for growth, success, overcoming, you name it.

This mindset is something that I have been working hard to embrace, especially in a time when uncertainty and a lack of control are what’s normal right now. To all the planners, organizers, by-the-book, and type-A individuals out there, I see you and I [...]
“It’s just like riding a bike.” How many times have we heard this go-to phrase of comparison before? It is certainly one that people love to throw around, but I wonder how much thought--if any--has been given to the actual meaning behind it. I was watching my daughter ride around on her bike yesterday (mind [...]
The Perfect Time Doesn’t Exist New Year's, Monday, tomorrow, next week, next month... Everyone can relate to the mentality of pushing something off. For some reason, we think that we need a scheduled starting point in order to implement something new into our lives. One of the crowd favorites is "someday", which as we know, [...]
As a self-proclaimed control freak, I know exactly how hard it can be to relinquish even an ounce of control. I grew up being taught that if you want something done right, save yourself the re-work and just do it yourself. However, I have been challenging myself, and now I am challenging you, to enlist [...]
