Hello June

blog

Happy June!!! It’s the first of the month, we just had a Blue Moon yesterday, and things just feel like they’re shifting into a positive timeline!

I had such a great May, and this has me super excited for this month!! It’s amazing how different my mood is when we have constant warm weather and sunshine! I’ve been feeling more motivated to hang out with friends and just get outside!

My husband and I just signed up for a new gym as well which has both indoor and outdoor pools which is super exciting! We’re hoping to go this evening when it’s a little quieter and we can get comfortable with the layout!

This summer is all about fun, friendships and nature for me! I am excited to focus on all the good and just enjoy the summer!

Here’s to wishing everyone a happy, abundant summer!!

Thursday Thoughts

blog

It’s been a while since I posted, so why not just post now? Sometimes I get down on myself when I skip out on my blog, and I had a few moments of that, but I’ve also been learning to give myself grace.

It’s finally summer!!! Well, at least the weather feels like it! This weekend I saw so many friends, got to be outside in the sun, and just overall had a great time being present with everyone.

I also had a random reel of mine go viral on IG this week, which I have never had happen before! It was a video I took of a cute little bee mistaking my friend’s tattoo for an actual flower! I am glad it was a simple, happy video that got over 1.5M views! I’ll post it here for you all to see!

Wednesday AM

blog

Today will be a good day! Although I am currently running late for work as I sit in the Dunkin’ drive thru, I am determined to make it a great day!

I see me staying in my own lane, focusing on my job and just being productive. I’m not going to let lying insurance reps or frustrated patients get me out of my good mood!

I woke up in a warm bed next to the love of my life, I was able to shower with warm, clean water, and I am blessed to be able to afford this iced coffee! My life has so much beauty in it, and I am present and open to it all.

May everyone have a wonderful Wednesday!

Monday Off

blog

My husband and I took today off since we had a weekend out of town! I was a bridesmaid in my friend’s destination wedding in Florida on Saturday! It was absolutely gorgeous, and I love the Pompano Beach area!

I had a lot of anxiety the week leading up to this trip, as well as on this trip. I was upset that I let myself get sunburned and then felt bad that I didn’t stay out as late as the rest of the bridal party, but I needed to sleep and hydrate to be ready for the wedding. The night of the wedding we also didn’t stay out as late as everyone else, but that’s because we had to be at the airport at 5am the next morning.

When I look back, I was really letting my anxiety get the best of me. I was overthinking and ruining the present, joyous moments, when in reality, none of that mattered. I was there to support the bride and help where I could. The rehearsal and wedding went smoothly, and we all had a great time on the yacht! Although I had some anxiety and got hella sunburned, overall we had great trip!

I had a session today with my new therapist, and we are gonna work on baby steps of making me become more flexible with my life. I tend to get very rigid with things and I am very “all or nothing” sometimes, and I want to be able to let go of that and focus on what really matters. I have a beautiful life, and although times get tough and anxiety gets high, I know it’s always temporary.

Friday Feels

blog

Despite the gloomy weather, I woke up feeling good! It’s largely because my husband and I both took the day off together, but I also just dropped the second episode of my podcast! I’ve kept it on the down low at work, mainly because word travels fast and people loooveee to make assumptions and be nosey as shit, but my friends and family know about it! I’m just feeling so excited and joyful around the fact that I finally launched the podcast after years of talking about it.

Monday Mood

blog

Riding the high of releasing my podcast and just feeling proud for ripping off the bandaid! My friends have been so nice and supportive which I am so grateful for! I ended up making a subreddit community for people to submit their own stories and experiences- so if you have any stories you’d like me to share on the podcast, head over to that Adventuresofthe9to5 community!

Saturday 4/4: I did a thing

blog

Soooo I finally did a thing….

I finally published my podcast!!! Adventures of the 9 to 5 is now available on Apple Podcasts and Spotify! Although it’s really only one episode and a couple blurbs right now, I am excited to record more and hopefully build a community where we can all share our stories and also share what we have all learned from our jobs and experiences.

I honestly recorded the episode that is out now back in December. I was letting my perfectionism get in the way by not letting myself post unless I had a backlog of content, but I then got myself stuck in a freeze state and never recorded anything else. I felt like the only way to break the cycle was to just f*cking send it LOL!

I’m feeling excited and grateful for my friends who are so supportive! I’m also thinking about starting another blog / site that is for my podcast specifically! For now I am working on more content for my Instagram page and I am hoping to record a couple more episodes this month!

If you’re interested, you can search “Adventures of the 9 to 5” on Apple podcasts and/or Spotify! Also, you can search me on Instagram @Adventuresofthe9to5!
