Some days I feel like I can conquer the world and others I can conquer the first two things off my to-do list and that’s only if I want to do said things. It’s okay to say, “I can’t because I don’t want to,” but on those days when you can’t and you kind of…

You’re Qualified for Your Dream Job but You Don’t Know It Yet
Your dream job is probably out there but you just don’t think you’re qualified for it and if our former question mark of a president taught us anything if you apply yourself enough the world is your oyster.
You Can Be Laid Off and Get Unemployment
That’s my worst-case scenario in my head whenever 30 something old me threatens to leap before I look in my career. It’s my worst-case scenario because I’ve been there. Fresh out of college, one year into my first job, after they gave us a raise and gassed us up, they told us they made a…
Rebel Without a Cause
“Talks excessively.” No matter the awesome grades I received on my report card, the comment section was always filled with that remark. I may have loved learning but I spent a decent amount of my time in elementary school outside in the hallway doing my work solo. Adult me is mature enough now to admit…
I Wrote My Way Out
“The problem was our parents told us we could be anything and they never told us we couldn’t be everything at once.” — @ justdae Growing up at one point, I wanted to be a singer, then I discovered that I don’t like singing in front of strangers. Then I wanted to be an actress….

Tomato Basil Pasta with Cajun Seared Scallops
Monday I played Chopped because I was too lazy to go to the grocery store. To my surprise, the age-old saying that “there’s food at home,” is actually true. A friend gave me fresh basil and I remembered that I had scallops from Costco in the freezer (I do not have a Costco Membership). A…
Why Should I Get Vaccinated if I Can Still Get Covid & Other FAQs?
“Why Should I Get Vaccinated if I Can Still Get Covid?” This is my most frequently asked questioned and OMG! I wanna curse but I’m not gonna. I am in no way an epidemiologist but I work in IT Healthcare and I follow a few scientists, I also like reading, and my college degree was…
Name Your Price and Stick to It
My biggest roadblock as an entrepreneur is myself. Read that line again. I pride myself on being unapologetically me and most of the time I overthink things and want to cater to everyone but the older I get the more I realize that everyone isn’t my customer. Watching my boyfriend graphic design and charge an…
It’s the Generational Misogyny for Me
“The man of the house does the yard work” and stuff like that. Someone very very close explained to me and I nodded in disappointment. You know that nod. The “I’m nodding because I respect you but, I’m a millennial and I’m shaking my head inside” nod speaks volumes. Growing up at times my mom…
OMG It's Just Daé
