There's a really good song by Noah Cyrus, where she talks about being still. You should check it out. At first listen I was confused by the video,  but when I listened to just the words, I thought, this is a great poem or story or monologue. Even if you don't like the song, there's a lot to be learned from the lyrics.

Ever notice how in the U.S. we praise celebrities for posing on the red carpet and "slaying," how we tell friends they look "hot," but the moment those same people say, "I look good," the general consensus is that is a big no-no. Seriously, unless you identify as a member of a marginalized group that isn't conventionally attractive, then you are vain for even daring to utter your own perceived value. But what if being just a little bit more vain could make you happier? Whether you're running your own business or just running around at work for someone else, vanity may be the necessary evil you didn't know you needed, so let's talk about it.

Have you ever been told that the solution to your business struggles, is simple to niche down? Want more customers, clients, followers, fans... well, you have to niche down. Is that really a solution? If Amazon just stayed focused on that super small niche of people who like books, then it wouldn't be the behemoth that exists today. Maybe you don't run your own business but you are thinking about taking that side hustle to the next level. I've been seen and felt the effects of niching down, so let's talk about it.

Feeling burnt out? Looking to sit down with a cookie and let the world know that you are not interested in doing whatever it is that you're expected to do? You are not alone, but it can feel pretty lonely when you are running your own business (that thing you always wanted to do). Maybe you don't run your own business but you are in your dream job, only it's starting to feel like a nightmare, and like a hamster on a wheel, you aren't even sure what stopping would look like. If crappy advice like, "do more yoga" or "try meditation" is all you're hearing from your therapist, then listen up. I've been there, so let's talk about it.

If you don't identify at a type "a" personality, then you have probably avoided something at some point in your life. Avoiding things is a bit like gambling: sometimes everything works out (yay, that meeting was canceled so you don't have to do that report that you've been avoiding) and sometimes it doesn't work (you didn't pay that bill so now you're being sued). Chances are you know you should stop avoiding things, but still knowing and doing aren't lining up. So if you're looking for some words of wisdom on avoidance behavior, then yeah, let's talk about it.

Getting advice from a professional is pretty much expected-- well, at least it was before A.I., but in general, if you had a financial question, you'd ask a finance person, a legal question would go to that one cousin in the family who is a lawyer, and medical questions would go to late night google searches. While expert opinion seems wise, it's not always going to be the super solution that you are hoping for. This week, we'll take a look at when to give pause when talking to an expert.

Visiting family every weekend, vacationing at the same place every summer, even Taco Tuesday can feel like a burden as we get older. What was once exciting, somewhere along the way, became a duty... a burden that just feels dull. Traditions don't have to be boring or bothersome. In fact, embracing repetition can do wonders for your back up plan? So, let's talk about it.
