Flawlessly Work From Home
This Coronavius crisis is sweeping the globe...still. Please stay home, wash your hands, and thank a healthcare professional for keeping the virus as contained as possible. During this time, a lot of us are working from home and it's CRAZY. Dogs bark all the time, video calls are awkward and fuzzy, and I find myself working for 10 hours every day. I've streamlined this process. Cried many times. Wanted to run away. The whole works. Here are my tips and tricks to flawlessly work from the comfort of your home.

What is your "Why?" with Paola Ochoa
Join me in this incredibly inspiring conversation with teenage entrepreneur Paola Ochoa. She's a California native, a fashion enthusiast, and most importantly, a serious rockstar. At the age of 16, she began Socials by Paola where she helps other online entrepreneurs with branding, specializing in YouTube. She calls herself a "wannabe influencer," but I think she'll influence you all to step out and follow your dream. She wants other teenagers to know that you're never too young to chase your dreams.

Time Management: Is it really worth saying "yes" to all of those things?
I'm so glad to be back this week!! I've brought my two trusty companions: my whiny dog, Nelly, and my fabulous fiance, Arren. Arren and I talk about balancing relationships, school, and getting jobs. Sometimes time management isn't saying yes to a bunch of things and hoping you can prioritize them. It's OKAY to tell people "no"; it's OKAY to let them down if it makes your stress level lower.

Q&A with my sister, Annika
Managing Change Effectively
It's okay to take a mental health day!
Sometimes canceling meetings and plans is just what the doctor ordered. Listen as I debrief the idea of mental health days and what they look like. You wouldn't skip going to the doctor if you had the flu, would you? Then, don't skip seeing a licensed professional if life is sometimes just too much.
