23 Things I'm Saying "Hell Yes" to this Year

After graduating from USC amid a global pandemic, starting my career remotely and beginning my book-writing journey (which I'm nearing the end of), turning 23 felt different.

At 22, I took a few giant steps:

• Started writing a book about values-aligned job searching
• Assumed a Director-level role at a fast-growing tech startup
• Began my inner work with a mindset coach

These things didn't just happen, they are the outcome of me realizing my power, leading with my intuition and taking action. In the spirit of turning 23, leveling up in my personal growth, and realizing that life is too dang short, I took to my journal to write a few goals.

But upon doing so, I realized that there was an opportunity to take my writing beyond the pages of my journal - and put my action-oriented goals out for the world to see in my first LinkedIn article - with the idea that seeing this might somehow help you realize your power, and mayyyybe inspire you to write your very own "Hell yes" list.

Fat chance, I know. But here it is anyway!
