At some point, many of us stop trying new things—not because we don't want to, but because we've become uncomfortable with being beginners.

We talk about how pride, comparison, and the pressure to have everything figured out can quietly keep us from growing....

We came across something interesting this week - the concept of a “Zillennial.” That is, a person or people who are in between millennials and Gen Z. The interesting thing about this “micro” generation is that they were there for “go play outside with your friends” and the iPad. Too young to remember the implications of 9/11, but lived through 3 major market crashes. As members of this group, we k...

Social media - we love it, we hate it. It has its positives and negatives, and overall, it’s supposed to be a tool to “connect” people. But is there a way to connect?
