It's been so hard to keep this a secret, but I found out this summer that I was admitted to grad school at the University of Pennsylvania! When I graduated from USC as an undergrad, I never thought I'd go back to school to get my Masters. Well....never say never! I came across my DREAM [...]

Think back to an experience when you’ve felt completely “in the zone” and “one” with what you were doing. That feeling where you were so immersed and absorbed in the activity that you lost track of time. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, the author of “Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience,” has described this state as “flow” where [...]
Let’s get real. According to a recent study by the University of Scranton, only 8% of people achieve their New Year’s Resolution(s). Realistically speaking, I’m not surprised given that we live in a short-attention span, instant gratification, quick-fix society. Becoming our best and achieving our goals is a committed journey and steady climb to the [...]

Going through vacation or post-labor day weekend withdrawals? Hello - you're normal! We all go through this! Your mind and body just took time off from your normal everyday routine. You can't expect to jump back and be at 100% productivity after slowing down. Just like it takes a few days to unwind and truly relax [...]
Now that the Summer Olympics are well under way in RIO, I thought a good topic to discuss in today’s Daily Inspo is Playing Offense in Life--Cultivating an Offensive Mindset. So what does that mean exactly? Well in sports, when a team is playing offense they’re sole objective is to score- they have the ball [...]
I love to think of our journey in life as a road trip. Being that I’ve taken so many road trips lately (you can read my Healthy Eating Tips for a Southern Road Trip here!), this analogy seems fitting right now. The aspect of this analogy that I want to dive into today is the [...]
Hey, Strong Girl! Take a moment to reflect on your life right now. Is there anything you’ve been hoping that may happen? Do you remember a recent conversation where you’ve said, “hopefully, x, y and z will happen?” Or, where you’ve responded to someone with these 3 little words, “I hope so.” We’re all guilty [...]
Yesterday I heard an interesting quote come up in conversation.... "Life Happens For You NOT To You." Wow, what a concept right?! And, it totally makes sense. So often we go through life wondering why certain events are happening "to" us as if we are a victim. But, what if we shifted the focus from [...]
