Introverts— we’re gonna take over the world.
•
I remember I used to hate calling myself an introvert. I didn’t think it was “cool” or how a girl in her 20s should be. I thought, “I have to be super social all the time, and outgoing, too. Super up for anything.” I figured if I told myself that I was an extrovert, one day I would be. Shocker— didn’t happen! So what DID? Excess, unnecessary anxiety over trying to change the way I am. Then, after some major self reflection + learning not to give any, I understood.

Society creates certain images of “perfect” and what you should or shouldn’t be like. It takes conscious effort to center yourself and appreciate who YOU are as a woman, the qualities you have that no one else does. Loving the things that make you, you! Once you get there, oh... it’s lovely. It creates POWER within. Builds a fire in your belly. Brings confidence. Excitement. Ability. Motivation. ALL THE THINGS.

So, all you fabulous women reading this, remember to love yourself just the way you are. Love yourself and go kick some 🍑

I don’t believe in coincidence, I believe in Jesus. • If you read my last post, you’ll know today was a big day for me. A start to a new journey + it couldn’t have been more incredible! • God is always in my corner. He NEVER fails. Even when the worry is fierce + anxieties are high, He NEVER lets me down! Isn’t that what He’s here for, after all? God wants us to lean on and TRUST in Him even when it’s the most difficult. His greatest blessings come through it. Have faith in HIM when you’re at your lowest points, in the hardest of situations, + watch his blessings unfold. • Let go and let GOD! Life is so much better when you do. 🙏🏼💕
Spending my night counting my blessings for new beginnings to come. • Have you ever wondered what’s on the other side of your comfort zone? Cause I sure do, on a daily • If there’s one thing I’ve learned so far this year, it’s that living in fear of the unknown, will cost you. Not taking the risk, costs you. I spent the last few weeks scared to go for opportunity because I didn’t think I “qualified.” I didn’t think I could. The girl who always went for it, suddenly stopped going for it— until she smacked herself in the 🍑 and DID. • Now, here I sit about to start a new journey, professionally. Thinking about how silly I’ve been to disregard myself and what I’m capable of. I’m glad that I woke up and remembered— I’m awesome + I can do ANYTHING. You can, too. • Here’s to a kick ass next adventure + positive blessings to come. ✨ God is always in my corner. 💕 📸 is @suddenlyschultz
Phew. What day is it? 🤪 • I’ve been working super hard on a few projects recently and I’m allllllmost there. I’m in the zone and just want to ✔️ them off the list! • I thought about calling it quits for the night, but then thought about how marvelous I’ll feel tomorrow morning knowing it’s done. So ima keep on pushing and get it done! • What’s your favorite way to knock out a project? Quiet + zen or blasting a playlist? Let me know! ⤵️ • Either way, brownies are totally in.
Today, I got the call I’ve been waiting for. • After weeks and weeks of being consistent, it’s finally paid off. • When your day turns out to be as magical as this sunset was, what else could you ask for? 🌅
Happy Friday, friends! Nothing like warm coffee + a new desktop wallpaper to help get some work done👩🏼💻 • Starting off my day by checking a few things off the to-do list in a calm space. There’s just something about getting it DONE in the am that keeps the firing burning all day long 🔥 • What’s your favorite way to get your morning started?
Today was a one of those days when it just seems like the world is against you. • Can anyone relate to that? • I was feeling super stressed. Emotional. Ready for all the bad to be over. Being totally honest, the last few months have been rough. It’s not always sunshine and rainbows. Social media only shows one side, so remember that eeeevrryone has bad times. That’s just life. There’s ALWAYS more to someone’s story. • So, how do I handle times like these? I picked myself up, dried my eyes, and got dressed. I put on a rosy lip + went out to conquer the day. Being a hustler means continuing to KEEP going even when it’s hard. So that’s what I did. And so I went off + ended up having a pretty damn good end to my day. • Keep going, babes. Keep fighting. Keep moving forward. One day you’ll look back + be happy you did. xo 📸 @suddenlyschultz 💕

Fear. • Sometimes we underestimate ourselves out of fear. We stop ourselves from being great because of it. Don’t know about you guys, but sometimes I get in my own damn way. The truth is, though, greatness doesn’t live in our comfort zones. It’s waiting for us on the outside. • Think about this for a sec— think about doing something you’d LOVE to do, but is maybe super intimidating. Something that really makes you wanna shit your pants. Got it? Now, think about the literal worst thing that could happen if you went for it. Chances are, you probably wouldn’t die. 🙃 Now think about the BEST thing that could happen if you took the risk. Huge reward? Comfort zone crushed? If you’re not smiling after thinking about the BEST, you’re doing it wrong. • Go for your DREAMS and think BIG in this world that tells us to think small. And freaking go for it. ✨💕
I used to hate Mondays. • But, really, Monday’s don’t have to suck. Who made that a thing anyway? • Monday is a F R E S H start, a N E W beginning to start a kick ass week. It’s the platform for seven days of new possibilities, opportunities, and successes to occur. • Viewing Monday as a positive takes a mental shift for sure, actively changing how you think. Here are 10 ways to make your Monday NOT suck 👇🏼 1️⃣ Rock a bold lip 2️⃣ Pay for someone’s coffee 3️⃣ Pack an awesome lunch 4️⃣ Meet a friend for dinner 5️⃣ Wine 6️⃣ Have a dance party 7️⃣ Drive with the windows down 8️⃣ Strut a new outfit 9️⃣ Compliment a stranger 🔟 SMILE What’s your favorite way to Monday?
Life just got batter. 🍪 • ...and it totally did after this soft serve COOKIE DOUGH. Pure magic. • Anyway, I wanna talk about celebrating the small victories in life. Cause after all, the big ones normally don’t come without em. • So today, I want you to think about your week. Pick 3️⃣ positives and celebrate them BIG. Do a little jiggle dance and celebrate you. When you’re done, comment + share your 3 positives from this week! ✨💕 • What were mine? I conquered 4 exams this week, started a special social project + paired all my socks together. Doin my dance now ✌🏼 📷 @suddenlyschultz
To all my hustler babes out there— sometimes we just can’t do it all. • That’s a hard pill to swallow. Sure, some days we just wanna sit back, grab a cocktail + let the work take care of itself. But really, we like the grind. It’s who we are. • My words to you on this late Saturday night? Don’t burn your own fire out. Sometimes, you just CAN’T do it all + that’s okay. Sometimes we gotta learn to say NO. Say no to that “one last” project to take on, say no to dinner with a friend when you just need some personal time, say no to feeling guilty about it. • Give it a shot. Every badass #bossbabe has to do it to keep her 🔥 strong. xo
Work so hard that you sit in the back of the car and the front of the plane. • It’s hard work to get to that point— I’m surely not there yet. But I’m working on it. The journey to success isn’t perfect, and let me tell you there will ALWAYS be backs, big + small. But, really, it’s what you do with those setbacks + how you handle them that makes the difference going forward. Ok, example— the cake I was making totally overflowed (🤷🏼♀️) all over the oven. I had to start over from square one. But you know what? When that cake is finally finished + I take that first bite it’s gonna be oh so rewarding. • Same principle applies to life + working toward something. You can’t expect every journey to be a smooth ride, but appreciate the setbacks even when it’s the hardest not to. • Work so hard that when you ARE in the back of the car + the front of the plane, you look back + remember all the moments you overcame to get there.
Okay, guys— could this shirt not be more accurate to my entire life? I think not. Pretty sure boss babes live off ALL the coffee, messy buns, and eats 💕 It’s in our nature 🤷🏼♀️
Live your best life, always 💕 📷 Photo cred goes to the A M A Z I N G @suddenlyschultz 😍

“Side by side or miles apart, best friends are always close to the heart.” 👭 Completely disconnected from social media to spend 5 days of quality BFF time with this girl. My soul NEEDED it, and I’m so grateful for our time together this week. ✨ We’ve been at it since 1st grade, and every time we get together it’s like we were never apart. Our friendship is like a fiiiiine wine, it gets better with age✌🏼 Thanks for coming to visit meeeeee! I miss you already Cayle-Phil. Have a safe flight home, and I FREAKING love you! Until next time...💖
*puts brave pants on* This is a step outside the comfort zone... like so many steps. 😳 This photo represents so many things. I don’t even know WHERE to possibly begin. Funny though, that’s what the girl on the left said too. She didn’t know where to begin. I fell OFF the wagon. For a while. I couldn’t even find a wagon to chase, THAT’S how far off I went. But, I found my wagon, and hopped back on. I told myself I could do this, and so I did. I’m so thankful. Thankful for those silly little 🥛shakes I have every day. Thankful for nutritional cleansing. Thankful for the support I’ve been shown. 💕 I’m also damn PROUD. Can I say that? I am proud of ME! So many times I’ve tried this and that, and I’ve always failed back to square one. I guess those times are over, huh. What’s that saying... Proof is in the... shakes? Yes. Proof is in the shakes. So, here’s to being vulnerable and scared and posting this tonight. Here’s to being brave. I have to say, this kinda feels AWESOME. If you’re like I was, let’s talk. Reach out to me. There IS a way. 😘
