Oh, hey there! It's been a while and I keep thinking about how I really want to get back into the swing of blogging, but I keep getting hindered by this idea that I need a good topic, it needs to be perfect, blah blah blah. I decided I just need to get over it … Continue reading It’s Ok If You Don’t Know Where You’re Going

Navigating Uncomfortable Conversations
How do you navigate uncomfortable conversations? This is a topic that’s been weighing heavily on my mind recently. In the past couple of weeks, I’ve had some uncomfortable conversations involving disagreement that have gone really well and others that did not.
