In this vlog, I talk about my advice if you’ve recently been rejected.

I talk about 3 situations

1. Dating situation and asking someone out and getting rejected

2. Job rejection

3. School rejection

My advice: I think it’s important to feel the emotion of sadness. Understand grieving is part of the moving on process.

Not grieving may actually hurt you more in trying to move forward.

New vlog! In this vlog I talk about the importance of honest feedback.

I give 3 examples where it's useful:

1) Relationships

2) Friendships and when you feel like friends are doing things that aren't the most productive

3) Work - When a supervisor is evaluating an employee

Often we try to avoid confrontation to avoid hurting people or we’re afraid it'll have a negative effect on the relationship, but ultimately, if the feedback has the ability to make someone better, we should give it to them.
