I feel like I’m in a Brene Brown era of life. Just gobbling up the content. Shame comes with a negative connotation, deservingly so. It’s a. hard emotion to master because it’s an emotion that tells us that we are not enough. That enough is so diverse. We are not good enough, cute enough, or […]

This was the first time reading this book even though the first edition came out 10 years ago. I had to puck up the 10th anniversary because I’m such a fan of Brene Brown. I agree with her research, and I’m still trying to implement it even though it’s so hard. No one said the […]

Staying in your comfort zone could be slowly killing you. That sounds pretty drastic. When you think about it, being in you comfort zone will mean that you will never discover your passion, accomplish goals, or find happiness. That sounds counter intuitive though. If you’re comfortable, doesn’t that mean you’re happy? It’s usually not the […]

Our to-do lists are kind of getting ridiculous. It’s like we have something to do, but before we get it down we add something else to the list because we’re so productive. It feels more like a hamster wheel. It’s not even about getting things done anymore. It’s the recognition of making it happen and […]

You know how I feel about comparisons. A lot of comparisons happen based on where we are in comparison to someone else at a certain time.

We come with an inherent bias that we want and maybe even expect other people to be just like us. This becomes a detriment because we then want to influence people to be more like us. Maybe it’s to positively enhance a person’s life. Too often is it due to one being self-righteous while pressuring […]

Employee Appreciation Day was a couple of days ago. If you didn’t know that, hopefully you are appreciated 365 days of the year. Yeah that includes the weekends. When I talk to my team about feedback, I hardly ever talk about their work. I’m very much appreciative of who they are. Characteristics of responsibility, dependability, […]

There’s nothing much more to say, but mention the truth. We can’t do too much about it. The problem is that people deny this fact. As if they don’t take in new information and totally reject it if it doesn’t confirm a previously held bias. The best thing we can do is at least be […]

Brooding over thoughts will most likely have a negative outcome on your psyche. It’s very easy to stay focused on the negative things that happen in life. Maybe there’s a break up that you went through, but can’t get over. Or your boss said something to you that was quite offensive, but you can’t shake […]
