Dopamine detox: Why and how you should cut down on your social media use

I have a confession to make: I may have a slight addiction to TikTok. I won’t even tell you how many hours I’ve spent scrolling through my feed…mostly because I couldn’t even count the hours if I tried. And the amount of hours is slightly embarrassing to admit. Please, don’t judge me.

Over it: What to do about burn-out

Hey everyone! Apologies for my hiatus – but I’m back. How has 2023 been treating you so far?

For me, 2023 has come with a whole host of challenges, which led to my break from blogging. And it seems like so many people I speak to are wrestling with problems, primarily at work.

Leave a paper trail: Why journaling is one of the best forms of self-care

Self-care is one of those concepts that has become incredibly trendy in the past few years, and thank goodness for it! We all know that common phrase, “you can’t pour from an empty cup.” Taking time to take care of yourself physically, mentally, and/or spiritually can help you develop into the best version of yourself. When you feel whole, you can extend yourself to other people in a way that’s meaningful and doesn’t feel exhausting. And it seems like everyone is prioritizing some version of sel

Feeling SAD? 3 tips to battle seasonal depression this year

But with the winter season comes shorter days, lower temperatures, and chapped lips. And, for some, with the darker days comes an all-too-familiar darkness of the soul.
