I Tried Grounding Every Day for a Week and Here’s What Happened
featured image via @makersandmuse Growing up, I was always running around barefoot in my sunny East Texas backyard. Every day brought a new opportunity for dirty feet: a day at the lake with my family, at the pool following my after-school tennis lesson, and just wandering around on outdoor explorations. When I left to study […]

By the time you read this, I’ll have been completely unplugged from all devices for 36 hours, with another 12 to go. For our next Wellness Report, I’m taking one for the team and trying out a full-blown digital detox, and […]
An Insider’s Guide to the Perfect Day in Paris
image from gal meets glam The last time I was in Paris was by far the most magical. It wasn’t the weather, or the fact that it was the week before my wedding… I think the best thing about our visit was the time we spent on Canal Saint Martin. The canal is by far […]
What Really Happens to Your Brain When You’re Hungover
The Sunday Scaries. Hangxiety. No matter what you call it, we’ve all been there. Your head is throbbing, you can’t even figure out how to navigate your Favor app (which is further complicated by the fact your eyes are welling up with tears from that stupid Hallmark movie on tv.) All this begs the question: […]
The 5 Rules of Being a Feminist At Work
In sitting down to research this piece, it wasn’t lost on me that the Career Contessa office is unlike any other when it comes to advocating for women. At the moment, we’re a 100% woman team, run by a woman CEO, and writing articles and throwing events specifically to help other women. And we’re doing […]
Do You Have to Get Your Period Every Month?

The Best (and Worst) Decisions I’ve Made Running My Business
It’s hard to believe I’ve been running a business for 10 years. Some days I still feel like a total rookie (what’s a form 1099 again?), and then I have a coffee chat with a recent college grad or speak on a panel at Create & Cultivate, and realize that I’ve learned quite a bit […]
These are the Cutest Animal Accounts on Instagram
If looking at Instagram gives you the blues, I can tell you right now that you’re not following enough puppy accounts. Scrolling through my feed always gives me good vibes (and a lot of that is because I’m getting a daily dose of love via @interspeciesfriendship.) Scroll down to discover our ten favorite animal accounts, […]
The Top Money Mistakes Women Make
featured image via block print social What woman doesn’t strive for organization in her life? The truth is, we just feel better when our beds are made, our homes are tidy, our errands are run, and our relationships are happy. But we only have so much bandwidth to accomplish our goals, and it’s easy to […]
Healthy Breakfast Ideas, The Instagram Algorithm, & Weekend Notes
featured photo via sf girl By the time y’all read this, I’ll be on a ranch in West Texas with friends (and lots of kids under the age of 5) not doing much besides watching the river go by and wondering if it’s too early to bust out the chocolate chip cookie bars. After this week, […]
Could you be experiencing a Quarter-Life Crisis?
Forget teenage angst, goodbye dreaded 30 — the quarter-life crisis is here and it’s so, so real. Although I remember having this exact thought when I was 25, I also remember feeling alone in thinking that this feeling was just affecting me while the majority of the population had it together. But then I was […]
How a Pro Athlete Really Eats to Stay in Shape
photo from sassy kitchen As a cyclist who used to ride 50-100 miles every weekend, I know first-hand that how you fuel on and off the bike is key to performance and recovery. However, in the past year, I’ve swapped those weekend rides for lots of travel, filled with important meetings, speaking opportunities, and shorter […]
Goat Yoga Is a Thing and We Tried It
Most yoga classes start with a call to center your focus within the four corners of your mat. To let go of anything off the mat that isn’t serving you, and to turn your attention inwards. It turns out, that proves to be difficult when there’s a baby goat nibbling on your hair, and another […]
These are the 12 Most Instagrammable Spots in Austin
image by Kristen Kilpatrick Austin is without-a-doubt Instagram worthy! Wandering the city, phone in hand, snapping everything you see . . . it’s normal in these parts. No apologies necessary for shameless selfies and silly group photos, it’s expected. Austin establishments work hard to perfectly curate and style spaces and then add music and food […]
