I used to avoid saying, “I don’t know,” because I thought it made me feel dumb.
Must be rooted in what I learned about what not to say in job interviews. But more often than not, even if I say “I don’t know”, the answer I provide reveals how much I don’t know!

I used to think prepping was enough to control outcomes—until I saw two car accidents on my way to work.
When the roads are covered with ice, the chances of crashing go UP.
It goes up HIGHER when you don't have winter tires.
And it goes up EVEN HIGHER if you...

The way we present ourselves sets the tone for how others perceive and interact with us.
This was the realization that came up when I caught my nipples poking through my shirt. It made me wonder, "Are people going to stare?".
That's because my eyes are wired to..

I used to fill every awkward silence—no matter what.
Reminds me of my old boss who had the same problem. It was when he interrupted my 30-second moment of silence when he peed in the stall next to me 🙄
Boss: So…uhh...are you done with this project yet?

I used to think confidence came from looking perfect.
As I approached the bathroom mirror to wash my hands, I caught a glimpse of my hair—looking like I just rolled out of bed. My first thought? "This is why I don't wear beanies!"
