IN THE MOMENT

109 posts

If something cool happened during the week or I find an interesting story to write about, I’ll write it here. This is pretty much an “anything and everything” type blog :). For each blog post, I try to share something related to self improvement and growth mindset.

Hope you enjoy!

Jiu-jitsu is definitely on the list of things to pick up in the near future :) #linkinbio

Thank you for letting me share this absolutely crazy life with you!  Thank you to those who reached out to wish me a Happy Birthday.  I'm absolutely terrified of what's to come in this next decade.
