In our ever increasingly competitive job market how can we confound our unquenchable drive for success with humble gratitude and labor not in vain? How can we live an ethical life amid a “hustle culture” that demands we monetize our every living breath and action and compare ourselves against others who do? How can we…
Merely riding an undetectable pale speck on a universe spanning 93 billion light-years, our existence falls victim daily to our insignificant human conceits. Our psyches attempt to confront this vast, cosmic glory by assigning inordinate, life-or-death value to every inconvenience. We convince ourselves we are special, inherently cursed snowflakes, instead of humbling ourselves before the…
No one is born knowing how to solve differential equations. A baby isn’t stupid for not knowing how to walk. Skill, it turns out, is just cultivated practice. Yet much our generation’s collective psyche – which heralds apathy and laziness – would have you believe if you’re not born with it, you should give up…
Behind every self-made story of success was not an individual with grandiose, insurmountable confidence, but rather a need greater than their fears. It is not the absence of qualms which led Joan of Arc to a French victory, or Malala Yousafzai to face off death for women’s education, but rather the belief that something was…
“Out of vulnerability comes progress.” If don’t do things out of your comfort zone you’ll always stay where you are. If you want something you’ve never had you’ve got to do something you’ve never done. If you have no goals you’re actively working towards you’ve become complacent. Complacency should be your biggest fear. Yes you’re…
Thank yourself for pulling yourself through the past year. The act of marching on during such emotionally, economically, politically turbulent times, in what seems like the second dark age, is the greatest feat of bravery. If you find yourself drifting into the new year, aimless, betrothed to the passing of time but unsure how to…
“We have two lives, and the second begins when we realize we only have one.” Yet we spend the now — all we ever have — wishing, escaping, envying, and complaining it away — ad infinitum. A mind controlled by ephemeral external circumstances and validation is a mind of no peace at all — it’s…
No amount of self-care or escapism will ever change what only exposure therapy and stepping outside of your comfort zone by walking by faith does. Escapism will not yield growth, and withdrawing won’t cast out anxiety — it only deepens it. Anxiety is a fear-based unreliable narrator that rejects you before people and opportunities do….
Millenials and Gen Z are more anxious and depressed than previous generations according to various studies. One Harvard Business Review study found that half of millennials reported leaving a job for mental health reasons, while that percentage rose to 75% among Gen-Z. Countless headlines constantly decry this generation’s delayed adulthood and the corresponding rate of…

Your early 20s — the mental limbo of feeling like a teenager yet being treated like an adult while thrown into the unpredictable, proverbial abyss. Now imagine the added confusion and pressure of being apart Generation Z and ignoring worldly ways. Forget the “quarter-life-crisis,” 20 is the new age to ruminate over every career, life,…

Everywhere, female professionals, leaders, and those at the top of their fields are described as “cold” and uncharismatic, degraded with slurs for the same neutral behavior men exhibit. Treading a careful line between our words and actions not carrying weight for being a woman, and being a ‘female dog’ for practicing a cultivated sternness as protection…
