Hot take: the practice of setting New Year’s resolutions is counter-productive for actually taking charge of your long-term growth and change. I am wholeheartedly against the phrase, “New year, new me/you/us.” Setting goals? Absolutely. Even committing to accomplishing a goal in 12 months time? Sure, timelines are motivating. Growth? I am ALWAYS here for that. […]

If you’re like most people I know right now, you’re in need of a boost. (And frankly, same.) This year has brought so many unexpected challenges as we go through the most unpredictable time.
