As a follow up to the exciting life update announced two weeks ago, we're going to explore how we got here. In this week's post, we're discussing why I picked where I'm going. Enjoy!

Been wondering what I've been up to lately? God's been working on my heart these past couple of months and has finally prompted me to share a few exciting updates with y'all. Check it out!

Ten years, twenty personal finance lessons. I'm running down the list of twenty things I learned across saving, spending, debt, giving, and earning. Whether you're in your 20's now and want to avoid my pitfalls or are past your 20's and want to compare notes, this post is for you!

How long the days feel and how quickly the years go by! Y'all, I am 30!! And in preparation for this day, I decide to write a letter to my 20-something self to prep myself for how to thrive in my 20's. Enjoy!

There is tremendous power in our voices, in sharing our stories, and in owning our truth. Today, I decided to encapsulate that strength in the form of a rarely-shared moment from when I traveled to Paris as a study-abroad student in college...

Regardless of the topic, the journey from believing lies to learning the truth as well as choosing to follow and find freedom in it is challenging and not for the faint of heart. Lately, I have felt a change in myself around how I feel about my singleness. This morning, it all came to a head when I felt a sense that God was putting that revelation into words...

Ever wonder if you're spending enough or too much? Do you know what you're even using as a benchmark for comparison or if you should even be comparing yourself in the first place? This week we're wrapping up the Financial Principles series by discussing what the bible has to say about spending...

Rounding out the Year-End Reflections series is the Career edition. We're looking back, dreaming about the future, and talking action steps. I share some specific questions I ask myself along with examples of how I process those questions. Let's dive into this final reflection of 2016 together!

Wondering how best to prepare your relationships with your friends, family, self, and God for 2017? This post walks through my reflections and thoughts as well as poses questions to get you started!

What does the bible have to say about debt? Quite a lot it turns out and some of it might not be what you expected. According to the Good $ense Ministry, the best kind of debtor is “one who avoids entering into debt, is careful and strategic when incurring debt, and always repays debt”.

This Thanksgiving I am especially grateful for the life I live. In honor of the tough political climate and family dynamic many of us are navigating this holiday season, I am taking time to remember for what I am thankful, to whom I belong, and who I love.

Continuing the Financial Principles series, we are diving into the next topic: saving. What does the bible have to say about this important topic? 

Are you at the point where you don't think you can do it anymore? That you spend more time thinking about quitting your job than actually doing your job? This week's post is for you. 

What do goals, failure, and dreams have to do with each other? This week we're diving into how enacting a plan that doesn't take into consideration fear of failure will best align us towards living the life of our dreams!

The Financial Principles series continues with a post about giving. What does giving say about who you think God is, the state of your heart, your spiritual maturity, and your understanding of the other? Read this week's post for more details!

God prompted me to write a love letter to my single sisters in Christ about how I view them and their relationships. Check it out!

Last month I discussed the FIVE FRIENDS EVERY CITY GIRL NEEDS in order to survive living in this crazy city.

Lately, I feel like I’m the go-to resource for new hires at the Firm. Every project I’ve been on for the past year has had a new person on the team and at every level. While a new campus hire is different than a new direct-admit partner, there are a few universal rules...

When I think back to the life I imagined living in the city, before I actually moved here, it looked like a scene out of Sex and the City. In my dreams, my best friends and I would meet at cute brunch spots around the city...
