6 Takeaways From Productivity and Planning Week

March 23, 2022 by Kenna Griffin

If you know me, you know how much I love learning. And one of the things I love learning about most is self-improvement. I read a ton about productivity, partially because I'm interested in so many things that I want to be as efficient as possible so I can do more of what interests me. So imagine my surprise when I found out that one of my writers … [Read more...]

What a Tik Tok Star Reminds Me About Self Care

December 16, 2020 by Kenna Griffin

I'm obsessed with a Tik Tok star.  It happened embarrassingly quickly. I found myself going to the app every day to see what "Gregism" posted. Greg Kata, an acting and voice teacher in NOLA, is incredibly funny, but he also has a key message I relate to on a deeper level. At the end of each daily video, Greg encourages his audience to "Find … [Read more...]

The Kids Are (Still) Not Alright: How COVID Impacts College Students

November 18, 2020 by Kenna Griffin

The kids are still not alright. I wrote "the kids are not alright" in April to explain how COVID-19 would impact college students. At the time, I wrote: COVID-19 is different than any other type of traumatic event we’ve experienced because of its longevity... We’re ready to adjust, be resilient and return to normal, but the pandemic is still … [Read more...]

June 11, 2020 by Kenna Griffin

I don't like getting ready for work. You know the process. You shower, fix your hair, put on make-up, get dressed (after finally deciding what to wear), grab your things, then commute. For me, the entire fiasco takes about two hours. Then, once you arrive at work, you have to transition into actually working. Almost three hours later, you're … [Read more...]

The Kids Are Not Alright

April 2, 2020 by Kenna Griffin

My favorite morning routine is to relax in the quiet with a mug of coffee and a non-fiction book. Two cups of coffee and two chapters later, I'm ready to take on the world. Today I poured my coffee, sat down in the family room chair and texted my friend, Erin. "I'm at about 20% this morning," the text read. I went on to tell her how I can't … [Read more...]

7 ways to battle the winter blahs

November 14, 2019 by Kenna Griffin

I don't know about you, but when the weather gets cold, it gets dark earlier and the sky is gray more days than not, I find myself getting a little bit down. Seasonal Affective Disorder, known as "seasonal depression" or "seasonal blues" is a health condition that occurs during seasonal transitions, typically starting in the fall and getting … [Read more...]

5 Important Reasons to Take Time Off

June 20, 2019 by Kenna Griffin

I was sitting in my hotel room in the Dominican Republic, looking out at the beautiful view of the resort's swimming pools and the ocean in the distance, and I was working. I was at the resort for my daughter's senior trip. Granted, she was off with dozens of her friends, so I wasn't really planning to spend the day with her, but that didn't … [Read more...]
