Have you ever taken time to sit back & reflect on how you arrived at your place in the world? I recently had the opportunity to reflect upon my career as an electrical engineer in a male-dominated industry.

Upon reflecting upon my career as a successful electrical engineer, earning my doctorate degree, & thriving as a wife and other of 6 children, I compile an insightful list of 10 life lessons that I want to share with you today. In today’s blog & podcast episode, I am sharing these 10 life lessons that I’ve learned as a female professional and a working mother in the male-dominated industry of electrical engineering.

How do we let go & trust within the chaos going on around us? There’s this idea that we can only control how we respond to what happens to us rather than controlling what happens around us, but it can be a challenge to accept this truth and learn how to let go and really surrender. As we all adjust to this new normal after the past few years, it’s important for us to take the time to step back from the business of life and really ask ourselves if we are showing up as the best version of ourselves for those around us. In today’s blog & podcast episode, I am sharing 7 ways that I deepen my trust within myself so that I can extend that trust to those around me & begin to feel at peace with the world around me as I continually learn, grow, and become the best version of myself.

In today’s blog & podcast episode, I’m going to share 2 ways to use journaling to create healthier habits this year!

Journaling has been a key factor in bringing awareness to my daily intentions & creating a life that brings me joy. In today’s blog & podcast episode, I’m sharing 7 benefits of daily bullet journaling for beginners (& tips for making it a fun part of your day rather that just another thing on your to-do list!)

What is a “fixed” mindset versus a “growth” mindset? A “fixed” mindset cares more about what success looks like from the outside & therefore, tends to avoid challenges, get defensive, and feels threatened by others’ success. This defensive “fixed” mindset inevitably leads to a plateau in success. On the contrary, a “growth” mindset allows you to continue growth to master your area of expertise. In today’s blog & podcast, I’m going to dive deeper into these 2 opposing concepts of mindset & how to harness the power of a growth mindset to achieve your goals in life.

The human condition isn’t a competition… it’s an experience. One thing that I’ve always connected to & believed is that life is about the experience. It’s the small, seemingly simple moments that we can find joy in and we have the power to intentionally chose to live this joy-filled life every day.  We have the power to set our lives up intentionally to find these simple moments & create more of them by taking purposeful action every day the brings deeper awareness to our Inner Guide. This allows us to live from a place of self-awareness & ultimately love. In today’s blog & podcast, I’m going to share the perspective shifts you need to make to be a force for change in a divisive world through living from a place of joy & love.
