In celebration of my birthday, I’m diving into everything I learned during one of the hardest years of my life. Everything from managing relationships, to getting professional mental health help, finances, social media, and more!

1.) You can’t look for happiness in other people.

2.) You can’t live your life for other people. 

3.) If something doesn’t sit right with you, you gotta change it. 

4.) Getting mental health help can change your life.

5.) Don’t be ashamed of the things that make you, you. 

6.) Your ‘Quarantine Circle’ are your people. Love them well!

7.) You should know where every penny is going.

8.) Know your non-negotiables.

9.) Boundaries are a beautiful thing.

10.) Everybody should take the time, to dive deep into their past and into themselves to learn why they are the way they are. 

11.) Running a business is all about your mindset.

12.) Take time to understand and improve your relationship with social media.

13.) Extroverts need to be around other people to recharge. Introverts become drained by being around other people.

14.) It’s okay to be ‘extra’ and want the things you want. 

15.) Sometimes you have to distance yourself from people.

16.) If somebody doesn’t like you, or have a problem with you, that’s their problem – not yours!

17.) It’s okay to want different things than those around you.

18.) Everyone has splurge items! 

19.) Everyone should live a more holistic life.

20.) Don’t take everything so seriously.

21.) Sometimes a little rest is exactly what’s needed.
