Notes From the New World

43: Serena Wolf is a healthy(ish) chef, blogger, author of The Dude Diet, and beauty & wellness junkie who lives for good food, great people, and bad tv (according to her). But when I sat down with her, she can also add a free-spirited badass, with a whole ton of moxie to that list. She went to Paris to train at Le Cordon Bleu for culinary school, and... then put in some SERIOUS time doing shi...

42: 401k. Roth IRA. Pre-tax, post-tax. Is this another language? Might as well be...at least to Chelsea.

Let's break the...

41: Today we are back with Part 2 of Alex Gilleo's interview ( @alexgill ) from last week!

36: Have an idea for a business or new product? Ever wondered how startups put together their business plans, launch, optimize, and grow? How do they stay focused and not burnout?

Or maybe "don't worry, sweetie, your Knight in shining armor is coming soon!" People feel bad for you, question your past relationships, wonder when you're going to find "The One"... it can be tough...

She shares past struggles, like: - Being obsessed with tracking things and seeing the numbers on the scal...

27: Dating in your twenties is rough. How can you decipher if he just wants to hook up? How do you go from hookup to relationship?

23: Manifesting something so specific can seem overwhelming, and often times we think we don't deserve the best. This mindset, combined with co-dependency issues, limiting beliefs, and negative self-talk means we never truly get what we want or deserve. Why is that? Why don't we think we can have the cutest, best, brightest apartment in our fave part of the city? Why can't we attrac...
