I thought it would be fun to share some things I have learned over this last year that really stuck with me and that I hope to carry into this next amazing year.
Read MoreWe've all been there. Where we just can't do anything right, nothing seems to go our way, we mess up multiple times and feel like any moment we could just burst into tears.
Remember: It's okay to have bad days.
Read MoreWe are constantly chasing this desire to be better liked by others. Whether it's through our bodies, our jobs, or our social media following...all of it feels somewhat like a reflection of our own worthiness.
