One small step to recognizing that I am more than my job title

Updated: Aug 16, 2023

Finding joy by identifying the little things I love 💛


My whole identity used to be my Job Title.


But for the past 12 months, my only purpose was to play with the world.

And along the way, I learned things about myself.


I have a page in the back of my journal titled, "things that make me happy," and throughout the year, I just add to it!

I use journaling as a tool to: learn more about myself, who I am and what makes me tick, what makes me smile, what I need to integrate more of in my life, what "self care" uniquely means for me. I also use it as a way to discover my deepest dreams, identify my inner and outer obstacles, and to identify my patterns over extended periods of time. It's also an integral part of my coaching process for those who are also interested in understanding their inner workings on a deeper level.
