When all your hard work finally pays off

When all your hard work finally pays off

Hard work pays off! Ya, girl just found out she is a finalist for Best Personal Development Blog on Infinity Blog Awards. I am making a video to show my appreciation! All of the hard work paid off. The long hours, the self-doubt, and multiple meltdowns proved that I am making a difference. 

I never made a post about this but I think I finally should. I am not a gloater or a show-off and it feels kind of weird making a post like this… But I want to share what happens when your hard work starts to pay off.

As a blogger or even just a business owner… We all start out the same way. We are a one-woman/man show. Wearing all types of hats at different times in the day. Sometimes it's multiple hats all at the same time.

For me being a blogger and I’m sure others can relate… we post content, Instagram posts, stories, make YouTube videos. We do whatever we think will help our website. Our goal is to eventually have this be our full-time job.

I feel like a FRAUD rant and How to get over imposter syndrome

I feel like a FRAUD rant and How to get over imposter syndrome

I talked about having a wave of imposter syndrome come over me. I felt like I was a fraud and just needed to vent about it and give myself a pep talk. It is hard to boost your confidence when you put too much pressure on yourself. I am on a personal growth journey and need help figuring it out...Because sometimes I feel like I don't fit in and that I feel like a fraud.

Imposter syndrome is something I suffered from this week. So let's talk about what it is and how to get over imposter syndrome, the 5 types of imposter syndrome you can experience, and how not to feel like a fraud. So we can find joy, happiness, growth and definitely stop feeling like an imposter.

The truth about my mom's abusive boyfriends

My Mom's abusive boyfriends... Another Storytime...   

I want to talk today about the abuse I endured while growing up. My mom did not have the best taste in men. All the Boyfriends she had were drunks and abusive. She didn't believe me when I confronted her about a physical fight I got into with her adult boyfriend when I was a minor.

Shadow work: Behind the scenes

Shadow work: Behind the scenes

Shadow work is no joke. It takes a lot of guts to do it... takes a lot more to post it on the internet for all to see. We are going behind the scenes of me doing my shadow work around my dad's death. Shadow work is not something people openly share with others, but I want to inspire you to figure out who you are and go after the life you deserve!

Hello, Welcome to my channel. I am Michele, your tour guide. During the day I run the blog Our Redonkulous Life.

Welcome Back!

Welcome Back!

So here is the plan. I want to start using this blog as a diary. We are going to get real and raw by talking about my childhood, being a teenager, an adult, my experiences, my dreams, and what I am doing to become a better version of myself. Because I talked about doing shadow work, but never shared what I was working through.  

In the next week, I will be thinking of ideas to talk about, film for YouTube, Might even possibly restart my podcast up again… 

Then a week from now the new and improved Michele/Our Redonkulous Life is coming to spill all the tea. Because all I ever wanted for this blog was to inspire others. Maybe help people who might have or are in similar situations.  So mark your calendars. APRIL 30, 2021 is when the shit show goes live. But for PG’s sake, I am calling it figuring out who I am as an adult.

Hey, Our Redonkulous Friends! I want to document my self-improvement journey and what I have learned over the past year. We are going to get real here and talk about some ish.

Welcome to Our Redonkulous Life. The podcast that helps you figure out what you want in life and helps you grow to get it.  I am Michele from Ourredonkulouslife.com. I post every Tuesday if you are interested in sticking around to go on a self-improvement journey to get the life you want. 

As we discussed last week was getting a journal to start recording things, getting everything down on paper, working on finding your why... by being self-aware, finding out who you are, and building your identity so you can discover and develop your own talents. 

Did you find out somethings about yourself you didn't know? Let me know by giving me a like and subscribing. 

This week I wanted to talk about how to journal. How do you journal, especially if you have never done it before? I found it a little intimidating and still kind of do. But I still do it.
