December 2023

To end the year 2023, I wanted to write about the biggest movie of the year – ‘Barbie’. Moreover, I wanted to analyze how the movie represented the real life of a woman, and how the #WomenSupportingWomen social media movement holds true, in business and in life.

My previous post about Matthew Perry’s death was a tough one to write, but it made me think of Brooke Shields’ recent revaluation – she suffered a seizure in September. Her opening up about that day and how those she was with handled the situation made me think of two other people who recently opened p about their loved ones struggling with the seizure disorder. THEIR words proved one thing: the struggles of the loved ones of those suffering seizures aren’t talked about enough. This blog post is a start!

You can call me the ultimate ‘Friends’ fan. I used to watch the show religiously when it initially aired. It was a show that taught me English, and it was a show that taught me about friendships and I didn’t have any. To no surprise, it was very shocking when Matthew Perry passed away on October 28th, and his death got me thinking of what his character, Chandler Bing, means to me.

And in just a blink of an eye, my son just turned a year old, and I now officially have a toddler! I love my son with my entire being, but that’s not to say that this past year wasn’t filled with ups and downs. Most people talk about the ups of having a child, so I wanted to tell you about the downs, specifically the first year of a child’s life.

The reunion show of ‘Selling Sunset’ had Nicole in hot water for her recent social media activity. Luckily for her, it didn’t affect her professionally; only that her co-workers hate her even more and the company culture at the real estate agency is… not the best. But this entire ordeal got me thinking a lot about how OUR social media activity can affect our professional lives. So I ask the question, is social media the real make-it-or-break-it?
