Screw your work ethic. Can you sit in one spot for eight hours?

June 28, 2019.Reading time 9 minutes.

I am learning, slowly but surely, that being a “great” employee has little to do with your talent, emotional intelligence or leadership skills. It has more to do with how often and how long you’re in the office. What I’ve been told is that the number of hours you’re present in the office equates to […]

I saw a psychologist for the first time.

June 21, 2019.Reading time 10 minutes.

Speaking with a psychologist hasn’t been on my mind for very long. It was only the middle of last year that I really started considering some sort of therapy. I didn’t grow up being taught about therapy, and I never thought that it was an option for me financially. In May of this year, at […]

Millennials: The anxious generation

April 11, 2019.Reading time 1 minute.

Millennials have been called a lot of things, but I gotta say, the “anxious generation” is a new one for me. How crazy is it that we are more likely to suffer from mental health disorders than our predecessors? Or maybe…we’re just more likely to talk about it. A 2015 study by American University said […]
