The Problem is X. The Solution is Mindset.
I’ve been on an intentional personal development journey for quite some time now. I think I dabbled with it for career purposes awhile back, but it wasn’t until I got serious about losing weight that things started to click for me. Everyone has different aha! moments, right? I would’ve loved to have had some of those moments earlier in my life, but what’s the point of dwelling on that? My transformation program, Your Purpose-Built Life (YPBL) focuses on a variety of tools and techniques to help you shift your current way of thinking to a way that is positive and propels you toward what you want.

Networking Events and the Art of Small Talk
Fill the Page Like writing and many other skills, small talk can be learned. I’m learning! If you are still learning, you might be like me. It’s not your favorite thing. It may make you uncomfortable. It may even physically wear you out! I promise you, it does get easier the more you get in there and practice. I mentioned writing in comparison because it too was a struggle for me when I first started. When I wrote papers in high school and college, I did everything to expand my word count to fill the page, including writing larger when we were still turning in handwritten papers! My writing was…
