Week 8: What is a mentor? Do you have a mentor? Should I have a mentor? Should we ALL have a mentor?

Hello You!

I hope you are well!

This week I wanted us to explore the idea of a mentor.

What is a mentor really? Is a mentor always an older wiser human who has all the answers to all of the questions? Maybe. Sometimes.

The more I think about it though, the more I believe that the concept of a mentor is changing or to be more accurate it has already changed.

Week 7: 'Jim Carrey: I needed color'

Hello You!

I hope you are where you want to be!

This week was one of those weeks where you have a million ideas of what you want to say, do or write, but at the same time nothing makes sense and everything seems to be uninteresting and boring.

But then, a few days ago, the account’s name changed, and you guessed correctly, I have a few thoughts on this and I would like to share them with you.

Week 2: How to stop comparing yourself to Others!

Hello You! 

I hope this finds you well!

So… I have been thinking a lot about the ‘comparison trap’ lately… and I decided to share my thoughts with You! Lucky You!;)

I was thinking about the kind of comparison where we compare our whole lives with other people's highlight moments, the comparison where we compare our whole lives, thoughts, efforts, dreams, struggles, our work with the carefully curated social media versions of other people's lives, the comparison where we compare our whole lives with that of people we have never met, people for whom the struggles they face we will never know, the one that leaves us with the inevitable feeling of 'not being enough'. That kind of comparison!
