About Me: Kate

Hey girl! I'm 21 years young and live in NYC. I'm a History and English major, who is looking to go to Law school. You can say that I want to be the next Elle Woods, except less blonde. I'm a major foodie and always looking for a good pie. My go to shows are Parks and Rec and The Office because they make me laugh and cry. I'm an avid reader and love ReeseWitherspoon's book club.

My goal in life is to help those around me and hopefully with this platform I will get to do so!

Lessons for a Break Up

About two or three months ago, a friend of mine was going through a break-up. They were a cute couple, and she was my close friend, he, my ex's best friend. She was devastated but, she no longer wanted to be in a relationship in which she felt limited. I gave her the best advice I could one night, sighting lessons from my own relationship, one that had not yet ended. I sent a list of ways to cope, move on, forgive herself. It has been an entire month since I parted ways with my ex. A MONTH. Where has the time gone. I feel a little stronger everyday.

I did not know how refreshing it was to know that there was truth within, however limited it may feel now. Today, I'm sharing that list with you. I hope it helps you through any trial you may be facing. Please share your opinions...

My Mom always had random mood swings that would throw me off also, sometimes when I was just casually trying talk to her she would get so upset with me and then ask me to go get her a beer.

However, I remember in high school attending a psychology informational forum about bi-polar and knew immediately my Mom fit that. I tried to talk to her about that but she ignored me and was in denial. Later I remember reading a book about multiple personality disorder, which my Mom fit into and I tried to discuss with her, onc...

Let’s talk about identity. The journey to finding your identity is ever evolving both professionally and personally. As a former student athlete, athlete was always my identity. I was never just a student, I was a student athlete… that is even how I was introduced to others even after my career. “This is Abby, she was a Division One student athlete…” was frequently the phrase used when friends, family and bosses introduced me to others, and I had a sense of pride with it too. Though, as my athlete title began to slip away, my “Corporate” identity began to resonate stronger. At work I was incredibly hungry to grow in my career, so I did things I thought would get my farther...such as biting my tongue in meetings where I had an opinion but I was just the “young, pretty employee” in the room, so I should listen. Slowly, I realized, I began to leave pieces of my personality at the door when I entered the office as a way to earn respect from my male counter parts. If I was more masculine t...
