It’s no secret that I LOVE strong and ambitious women. I can’t get enough of them. I’m so attracted to women who radiate an energy – who vibrate with potential to the point that it almost feels infectious and it makes you want to be a better, stronger more audacious woman in the world. That…

on embracing your inner kardashian

In middle school, I was bullied because of my weight. At age 12, I was told I needed to join Weight Watchers and that was a comment which actually still, unfortunately, haunts me to this day. I can still vividly remember the scene, even though it’s been something I’ve tried very hard to put behind…
