The amount of relationships that end in infidelity is quite high and the rehabilitation is the worst part. This is a post I struggled to write. It felt almost too personal, like I am airing my dirty laundry, however, I have done nothing wrong, so why should I feel ashamed to share what I went through… The Way I See It I realized that this is a post that will not only resonate with so many others but it will also be a helpful resource.

Breakup Bootcamp: Forgiveness
I have been open about my breakup journey and journey is really the best way to put it because it has not been a linear path.

Defining Your Core Values: A Guide to Living a Meaningful Life
The response I received from my blog post on surviving a break up was overwhelming! I was taken aback by the number of girls that identified with what I am going through and found my advice helpful and insightful. It has basically thrown me into a Break-up Bootcamp series, outlining my process.

How to Get Unstuck
As a person who thrives when they have a routine, I tend to have trouble taking a step back to fully acknowledge when I am stuck in a rut or not challenging myself or not making time to do the things that bring me joy.

The advice I gave may still be relevant today, but becoming unstuck has become a more evolved process for me; over the years, I think we all have a tendency to get overwhelmed with the idea of adulting and we go into survival mode and start to distance ourselves from creating…
