Let’s quit this bitch
I started thinking about what I would need to do/have to feel comfortable quitting my 9-5 in March. For those new to the blog, I’m returning to school for my MBA in Fall 2024 (manifesting this even though I haven’t applied yet). But I’ve been thinking about having a summer vacation. A long summer vacation.…

Reasons to not live in the middle of nowhere
I’ve mentioned before that I live in a random part of Northern California. It’s 1.5-2 hours from anywhere that is considerably exciting. My first big beef with living here is the lack of Ubers and Lyfts. That’s a red flag y’all. Anytime my parents or out of town friends visit, it’s always a struggle to…

Are you a selective workaholic?
Today, I wanted to quit but I didn’t. I was forced to come in on a Sunday after already working Monday to Saturday. For context, I earn a salary and work Monday to Friday. This means I worked Saturday and Sunday for $Free.99. I consider free labor as slavery & I am not about it. Story…

My favorite podcasts
You are the summary of the 5 people you spend the most time with. I heard that from a podcast. But it is 1000% true. Think about the 5 people you spend the most time with. How much of opinions and ideas do you have in common? How much are your lifestyles similar? After my…

The Power of Joy :)
I hate small talk. Like, it is despicable to me. I spent a week training on creating & facilitating presentations in Utah for work. But I tried something new… One of the icebreakers that I absolutely despise is “say 1 interesting fact about you”. I spend the whole mothafucking time trying to think of what…

Romance (& Money)
This one is a more vulnerable one. I’ve learned a lot about myself in the romance department.This post is more romance with a sprinkle of cash. I’ve never been in a long relationship but I definitely lived my most player era so far in my 23rd revolution around the sun. The key lessons I’ve learned: Now lets talk cash,…
