Adulting 101

Lifestyle creep.. Have you heard the term? I was so conscious about falling into the 'trap' of lifestyle creep but also finding a balance of the easing the financial restrictions I had placed on myself in my pursuit to save. I recently upgraded my car and phone and you could say they were luxury purchases

I RAGE QUIT INSTAGRAM FOR A BIT CAUSE GOLLY!! Don't mind me guys, today I'm talking about a whole bunch of random stuff including getting my finances right in a very simple manner, the beauty of social media detoxing and whether communication is grounds for being called selfish. Let's discuss..

Have you felt like there's a lot of level up content cropping up on your feed? How to be the IT Girl? 'How to level up in your 20s' content and all that? Listen to today's episode where I talk about how that content sometimes makes me feel inadequate... It doesn't help that my small business is kinda failing...

Today we're discussing the topic of the insecure overachiever. Just discussion, no tips unfortunately! I came across this term once when I realised work was taking over my life and I felt like I was doing. too. much!!! I felt like I would put my all into things and if I didn't get the right praise or if I felt I could do better, I wasn't happy. Have you ever felt that way? Let me know!!
