Reframing Thoughts
I sat on the call, feeling the anxiety build. Confusion, worry and doubt began to fester. “What in the world am I going to do here? Why am I even a part of this”?

Using Bundled Offers to Increase Poshmark Sales
I joined Poshmark in 2013. Over time, the platform has evolved, and so has the seller's strategies in remaining successful. In the past, we listed, shared and followed easily.

I was so scared of being a bad mother - not knowing what to do, not caring enough for my son, even wondering if I was good enough to be anyone's mother. I was afraid that I would never … Continue reading Two Years Later
Not the Favorite
I look at the picture with both feelings of nostalgia and pain. At the time, I had only been a mother for all of two months. I had no idea what I was doing, and I was scared most of the time. And yet, there I was, in a simple photo with a small smile, … Continue reading Not the Favorite
Travel Diaries: Another First
I don't travel all too often to work. Last year, budgets were revised, and I was on maternity leave when some of them came up. Business trips just weren't a part of the plan that year.
