Taking the SAT was one of the most miserable experiences of my high school career, but it didn’t HAVE to be. I MADE them terrible. I put tons of stress on myself, told myself I couldn’t do it, and felt like everything in the world depended on my test scores. There’s no way you can perform your best when you’re stressed out and when we do stress we energetically block ourselves from achieving what we want. In this video I share my tips for stressing less over the SAT. You’re totally capable of doing well on this test and I want to help you!

I call my work Modern Mentoring, which is just a fancy word for big sister. I’m the big sis in my family and it was sometimes hard having to do everything first. When I needed advice I had to find someone who had done it before me. Mentors have been SO important in my life and that’s why I love my job!

When I was a kid, there was a rhyme “stick and stones can break my bones, but words can never hurt me” and even as I type this out I cannot believe how untrue this is.

A couple of weekends ago I worked with my mentor Gabrielle Bernstein heading right into working a weekend long retreat for Mastin Kipp and totally over did it. Here’s how to click the restart button!

The other day when I missed a bus I needed to be on I felt myself begin to get super upset. Instead of going all the way into crazytown I remembered that there are always different ways to look at a situation. Here’s how I accepted the things I couldn’t change.

I’m really lucky to have super smart friends and when we were at dinner the other night we started discussing why it’s better to live life with a series of ups and downs rather than never taking risks. It’s hard to put yourself out there that’s why I decided to call it a zigzag life. Click play to learn what I mean!
