Hi everyone!

I'm back this week with a Spotlight highlighting Laura McKinney, Founder & CEO of Stratabrand.

Stratabrand is a branding firm that uses a fusion of techniques from strategic planning, public relations, marketing, and self-introspection.

We had so much fun talking about Laura's upbringing, how she found her first clients with no connections and no work experience and why she recommend every person begins a habit of 'dreamstorming.'

Enjoy!

Hi everyone!

I'm back with a very special episode.

Satya Doyle Byock joins us this week to discuss her book, Quarterlife: The Search for Self in Early Adulthood.

Satya is a psychotherapist and author focused on early adulthood. I read Quarterlife last year and loved it so much that I had to have her on the podcast.

P.S. We're all super busy and do not always have time to read all the books on our lists. Zero worries -- I published a TL;DR episode on Quarterlife for the Book of the Month series! Check it out here.

Hi guys --

For this week's episode, I interviewed my therapist, Kerrie! I've been seeing Kerrie for five years and have grown so much from my therapy journey.

Therapy can be an intimidating topic for a lot of us. In this episode, Kerrie shares her tips for finding a therapist and how to think about your therapy journey.

This week's conversation is in honor of Mental Health Awareness Month.

Welcome to the second edition of theT&P series: Book Reports!

Every month, I share the TL;DR of some of my fave books to help guide you on your self-discovery journey.

This edition is all about Quarterlife: The Search for Self in Early Adulthood by Satya Doyle Byock.

Quarterlife is a beautifully written read that defines two archetypes for those of us in our "Quarterlife" era: the Meaning Type searching for Stability and the Stability Type searching for Meaning.

In this book, Byock takes the reader through the four pillars of Quarterlife development: Separate, Listen, Build and Integrate. She argues these pillars can bring more Meaning and Stability and help us become more whole.

You can download the FREE Theory & Practice reflection guide with journal prompts and quotes from the book HERE.
