Good morning,
Welcome to my biweekly newsletter! This is the 10th that I am creating — and I am SO GRATEFUL for your time reading! THANK YOU!
I want to make this as strategic, insightful, and useful for you as possible, so you can live your best life and take steps everyday to turn your dreams into your reality. We're all in this together, so let's give it our best shot.
I'm constantly consuming and creating content across all channels; below is my latest list of recommended links to help you build your best life:
WHERE I'M TRAVELING
- I was in Amsterdam last weekend with a couple friends and had a blast. I love going back to cities that I explored when I was 19 and studying abroad — lots to remember and reflect on.
- Today I am flying to New York City. I'll be working from Taboola's NYC office for a few days this week, and then spending the weekend with family — my Sister, Brother, and Mom all have birthdays within five days of each other! I wouldn't be the person I am today without them in my life and I am so grateful to be able to celebrate with them in person.
WHAT I'M WRITING
- The theme for me this past weekend was self care. I was dealing with some kind of allergic reaction after Amsterdam, and had to take two days to truly CTFO and heal. I wrote this post recently about needing to check out sometimes, and I stand by my words that meditation and solid rest will allow you to come back stronger and more creative than ever before.
BOOKS I'M LISTENING TO
- With lots of work travel coming up, I'm stocking up on my audiobook downloads so I'm prepared for all the flights. Listening to books is my favorite way to multi-task during long travel days, it makes me feel productive even when I'm waiting in lines for hours. Check out my latest list of audiobooks here.
YOUTUBE VIDEOS I'M WATCHING
TRIPS I'M PLANNING
- I'm planning a two week solo backpacking trip through Central America after the holidays and through New Years. One of my big scary goals is to become fluent in Spanish, which I studied in high school and college, so I figured planning a trip in Spanish speaking countries would help me greatly with this goal!
- Right now I'm in the dreaming phase (have to wait to finalize dates for work in NYC in December before I can book flights right now) — staring at maps, looking up pics on Instagram, and watching heaps of helpful videos. I haven't even started a google doc for the trip yet (OK you know me by now so this is a big deal — that's how serious I take the dreaming phase)! Just soaking in information, daydreaming, and letting it all fall into place.
NYC EVENT TO ATTEND
- If you are in the NYC area — I'll be at the United Women in Business Foundation's Ladies Who Hustle panel event TOMORROW — Wednesday, October 17th! It's my favorite event of the year, and I'd love to see you there.
QUOTE I LOVE
- “Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.” — Audre Lorde
Now go forth, get shit done, and crush your personal and professional goals!
