33 My big takeaway from this week's mentor sessions on GROWTH: ⁣ ⁣ We measure progress wrong by being results oriented... That growth is actually the shift in the relationship you have to the things that you want, PARTICULARLY when you’re not getting them. Like still wanting a relationship, a friendship, job/internship opportunity, certain body type, but being okay without it. That is growth. This is simple and hard because we are in human bodies. ⁣ ⁣ I found myself telling the story in my chats about how a few weeks ago I was walking on the upper west side, listening to my current favorite song, feeling like I was at the end of the movie when the credits roll and everything has worked out for the protagonist. I asked myself what it would be like if my life felt all worked out and I realized that with or without the things I want; it already has. That is growth. ⁣✨
24 Start of the week question: what’s been working for you lately?⁣ ✨
49 this week we discussed skincare, aggressive EBITDA add-backs, online dating, and taxes 💁🏻‍♀️
29 when I feel like I need a little extra internal guidance, I ask to see a sign. last spring when I did this, I started to find pennies everywhere (how lucky!). so if you need a sign heading into the weekend to relax, to go for it, to trust yourself, to do the thing you've been putting off... consider this it. ⁣ ⁣ ------- ⁣ want to chat more? mentorship sessions available. link in bio
41 what I’ve been thinking about this week:⁣ ⁣ expecting: feeling like things SHOULD happen in a certain way; attached to how things should go (and maybe being upset when things turn out differently) ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ accepting: dictionary defines it as, "consent to receive (a thing offered)." Looking at life, recognizing what you CAN or CANNOT change, and being open to what comes. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Can you give yourself permission accept and receive? ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ------ ⁣⁣ Link in bio if you want to chat!!
64 To all the strong, gorgeous women in my life #internationalwomensday thanks for letting me be the top of the pyramid ✨
52 I read an article today that talked about how a 20 second hug reduces stress so I tried it (we timed it ha!) and I’m into it. ⁣ ⁣ Go hug someone you love! ⁣ ⁣ If you’re still stressed after, mentor sessions are available too
46 I was being super hard on myself this weekend, but when a student reached out with the same issue, I realized I had to take my own advice and be g e n t l e with myself. We are only human even when you’re mad at yourself for making a mistake. ⁣ -------⁣ Being too hard on yourself? Chat with me about it. Mentor session available! 🔗 in bio.
33 It me! ⁣ ⁣ High school and college can be a huge transition and having someone to chat with can make some of life’s more confusing moments bearable! The foundation for all my work is to help girls feel happy, confident, and love who they are. ⁣ ⁣ Going to college changes everything from where you live, the friends you hang out with, the classes you take, even to what you eat. If you’re stressed, wanting guidance on friendship, learning how to navigate roommates, trying to get to know yourself on a college campus, or burnt out by social media, I’m here for you! ⁣ ⁣ Your own friends are always there to listen, but a mentoring session allows you to be heard and counseled in a way that is very much tailored to you! Info on your first session in my bio ✨
41 If I love you, I’m gonna wanna tell you #wordsofaffirmation (and I use Valentine’s Day as the perfect excuse to go big with all the ❤️ I have in my life)! I made these prompts for the party I threw over the weekend and they were a big hit!
33 This idea has been with me all week and I hear it from my students too. My only advice is to move towards what you want with small right actions. ❤️
40 My sweet friend @erinrdoppelt had me on her podcast where I talked about being a professional big sister, how I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and the value of being authentic. Had lots of fun and got personal about dance, my practices, and my friend group! Check it out at @wisewomanpodcast and leave a comment on iTunes if you dig it! ❤️
