Life in your 20’s is different for everyone. Some of us go to college, some go straight into the workforce, and some of us live in our parents’ basements until they take us to court to kick us out. (Anyone know what I’m referring to? lol).  

If there is one thing I could thank my mother for, it would be for her genes…

Because there is no one else to blame other than her for the fact that I have managed to not exercise in 4+ years and not weigh 500 lbs.

But I know that just because you’re a size 0, it does not mean you’re healthy or, “fit.”

Joining the Military right out of high school was…an interesting experience.

A lonely experience.

I went from being surrounded by my best friends that I had known since being a toddler, my family, and the familiar town that I grew up in, to being thrust into this small room with about 30 women from all different states, communities, and cultural backgrounds.

Are you a, “someday” person? Yea me too…

I have noticed lately there are a lot of things in my life that I have been wanting to do or change but I keep telling myself I am, “waiting for the perfect time.” Like going back to school, taking a vacation, getting my pilot’s license, or even something small like thinking I can’t publish a blog post until having the perfect pictures to go along with it…

1. Realize; You Can Do It All…But A “Perfect” Balance Will Never Exist.

These days, not only do we women want to have it all but 9 times out of 10, we have to do it all. It takes a lot and costs a lot to raise a family. But no matter if a career is your focus or your family, one will always suffer over the other. A perfect work-life balance just isn’t possible. This “balance” is defined by you and only you. It’s internal, it’s personal, and it’s up to you to create that based on what you value most inside.
