    Old Friends? Good Friends? Or Both?

    Friends were easier to come by when we were younger. We spent a lot of time together, doing the same things, so it was easier to bond and stay connected. While those friendships are beautiful, they can honor a version of you that doesn't exist anymore. In this conversation, I'm defining old friends as those who have known previous versions of you and good friends as those who know who you are now. If you're lucky, the same person can be both. And ultimately, a solid community gives you a balance of old and good.

    Let's Book Those Doctor Appointments

    For many health-related things, a solid self care regime can keep you in good shape, but sometimes we need the help of a professional. White coat syndrome - the fear of doctors and medical facilities - can keep us from booking the regular wellness appointments we need to stay ahead of major health problems. Let me talk you through ways to manage anxiety so you can reap the benefits of medical baselines and preventative care.

    Confessions of a Reformed Non-Budgeter

    Financial stability is one of the most powerful tools for resilience. Knowing where your money is and what it's doing for you is has a powerful calming effect in times of distress.

    4 Tips for Gracefully Releasing Old Versions of Yourself

    This is one of those topics that I wish was taught in school. As we grow, we become a million different versions of ourselves - influenced by location, community, age, and so many other things. It's easy to cling to older versions of ourselves, but that keeps us from being present and squeezing all the goodness out of today. So here are 4 things I'm trying to do to release old Rachel with grace.

    The Power of an Annual Reading Goal

    I've been setting annual reading goals since the mid-20-teens and I have found it incredibly rewarding. It's such a satisfying feeling to achieve a goal that helps me grow personally while exposing me to new themes, styles, and genres. I don't try to overwhelm myself, and I keep trying for a goal until I hit it. Join me on Goodreads (https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/50683215-rachel-williams) or LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/rachel-williams-pro/) to see what I'm reading.

    Finding your tribe is more than mentally relaxing or emotionally fulfilling - it actually enables your biology to work more efficiently because your ability to trust the people in your tribe lowers cortisol and allows the feel good hormones to take over. I have been lucky in finding my people more than once and I hope you can too.
