'Tis the season for getting those graduate school applications in...! And as my colleagues and I continue to review personal statements at the UMBC Career Center, I wanted to share my recent episode with the UMBC Careers Unleashed podcast on graduate school.

If you're wondering if and how to get into the best graduate program for you, I encourage you to listen. Podcast host Stephanie and I go deep into the many ways you can strategize and prepare for graduate school — and all that goes into it!

Consider it this year's holiday gift from me, to you. 🎁 Link in the comments.

On International Women’s Day 5 years ago, I gave birth to my daughter Kerrigan Leigh and my life has not been the same ever since. Being your mom is one of the greatest joys of my life, and watching you grow into such a smart, kind, and thoughtful little lady has been wonderful to witness. Happy Birthday sweetheart!! I love you! 😘

Me to my therapist today: “I had a content idea tying the Full Moon to the job market! That hasn’t happened in a while.”

Everything has its season, amirite?

Well now’s the season to be authentic and unapologetic.
To use your voice proudly and boldly.
And go after that job you want.

If you need a little help with harnessing this Leo energy, send me a DM. 😉

A truck or treat, two trunk or treats, and trick or treating in the action of Baltimore made for a very festive and lively spooky season. 🎃

I’ve been getting a lot of messages about the need to rest lately.

This is in the midst of getting things done for my full time job, teaching a graduate course, and taking care of my two small children, causing my business to take a bit of a back seat.

It makes me feel a bit of guilt and a lot of anxiety, but I only have so much energy and bandwidth for everything.

I talk about this often in therapy, and I have to keep reminding myself that this is the season I’m in right now and that’s totally ok.

It’s ok to take a pause. Take a break. Rest.

And I can’t do everything. I’m not perfect.

I chatted with about perfectionism and astrology in her latest podcast episode. I had a lot of fun sharing my story and reading her chart.

Take a listen by checking out the link in my bio and LMK what you think!

Oh, and find some time to rest today! 💜

Last week I attended the annual conference for the first time, and it did NOT disappoint. Plus it was in Philly, right outside where I grew up, so I felt very comfortable and at home. 💙

The sessions were informative, the people were friendly, and the drinks were delicious.🍹I look forward to reviewing my notes and seeing what I can implement into my work and coaching practice.

Happy Father’s Day to an incredible man who frequently goes above and beyond for his children. I feel very fortunate that I get to co-parent with such a caring, thoughtful, and empathetic individual. You inspire me to be a better mother, and our children are so so lucky to have you as their dad. We love you ! 💙

More than 75% of women who suffer from
maternal mental health disorders go undiagnosed and untreated.

That’s why I’ve been so open in sharing my story of postpartum psychosis — to help end the shame and stigma that goes along with any mental illness.

This is even more important as today is World Maternal Mental Health Day. If you are struggling, remember that you are not alone and we are .
