Let’s Brag: Nicole Seligman

I am seriously determined to make #letsbrag a thing. Why? Because I think it is important for us girls to share our accomplishments, and truly be proud of the things we have achieved.

Workin’ Girl Wardrobe: Nicole Seligman

Be Proud of Your Accomplishments.

Yesterday, I read this article on New York Magazine, and it was like the writer was in my brain. (Cliff notes version: Today, our social media platforms act as our resumes, references, etc. Thus, we need to share our successes, and not surprisingly, men do it a whole lot better than women).

She eloquently and cohesively described everything I always feel. As a business owner, I need people to know I am good at what I do. Sometimes, I have a hard time sharing it publicly because I don’t want people to think I am obsessed with myself

When I Realized I Could Turn My Passion Into a Career…

I found yoga 3 years ago, and my life changed in a way I never knew it could. I decided that while I was still young (and unemployed), I would become an yoga instruction. I mean, why not, right? Ever since I started the training, I have fallen more and more in love with my practice. I have never felt so passionate about anything in my life.

After going to school for four years with a minimal interest in what I was studying, I often wondered what I was going to do. What was I passionate about? What was I

Five Ways Job Hunting is like Shoe Shopping

Confession: I’m not a Gen Y girl. I’m knocking on the door of 40. I remember the day MTV went live in our house and walking to my television to change the channel. Gen X all the way.

Not to worry. I’m not a Gen X hater of the so-called entitled younger generation. In fact, I know some fabulous Gen Y women and I have a lot of admiration for you ladies. I may even be a wee bit jealous.

You have the opportunity to learn from those who came before you in a way like we never did. All

The Fear of Becoming a Spinster

Let me just start off by apologizing because I don’t really know where this post is going. Normally, when I sit down to write something, I have an outline of what I am going to say. However, this time I am just going to ramble because I need to get something off my chest.

The question I have is: Why are we (as in gen-y girls) all so obsessed with dating (or our lack there of)?

Myself included, I feel like there is this big, scary cloud hanging over my head because I am probably going to end up a
