Olivia's third studio album releases tomorrow and I'm hyped. With pink theming, a thought provoking title (You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl so in Love), and a cover inspired by Jean-Honoré Fragonard's The Swing , it creates an intriguing image. Why IS she so sad for a girl so in love? I loved the first single, Drop Dead, with references to the Palace of Versailles (also where she shot the music video), expressing her instant giddiness and attraction to someone she just met. It'

As someone who has worked in and around social media, organic and paid, since 2012, I wanted to share a personal reminder for those both in the industry and also regular users of these platforms. Image by M M on Unsplash If someone doesn't like your post, it doesn't mean they didn't enjoy it. And just because they liked it, doesn't mean they approved of it. If someone is at the top of your Instagram Story views, they are likely one of your biggest fans (or haters), even if th

Practical tips to let go of ADHD shame, lower stress, and finally love the way your brain works.

Hello Kind Friends, today I'm sharing a reframe that has helped me focus on what I can control vs not, as well as a peanut butter protein microwave pancake recipe. Image created with Midjourney, see Instagram video for what the recipe actually looks like. Let's start with the recipe and then we'll move on to the advice. This recipe is inspired by _emilysworld and her video below: My version of the recipe: Mix one serving of vanilla protein powder with half a serving of powder

Many people love the idea of reinventing themselves. There is a reason that New Year, New Me is popular during New Year's Resolutions season! It's a chance to start fresh, feeling the hope that you can become a new and improved version of yourself. But what often goes unexplored are the reasons behind why you want to reinvent yourself in the first place. Media from Wix Healing and expanding is where the magic happens. If it is ignored, you end up just as unhappy, but wearing

The goal of this series was to appreciate the little things that made life special. Whether these items make you happy or not, I hope it helps you think of what your happy list could be.

Have you ever felt like the only person that believes in you, is you? Part of my 2024 blogging goals included re-sharing posts from my previous (now-dead) blogs, to keep those memories and update the content for further value now. One post that has always stood out in my mind is this one, I'm Still Here, about choosing myself when a YouTube network I used to work with decided to drop me. I believe the first portion of the blog was written around 2013ish, over ten years ago, b

I have a reputation for being positive, inspiring, solving problems, and getting the things I want. While that's a nice rep to have, it's not how I felt for the first half of my life. My brain did not naturally find the positivity or opportunity in most things when I was a child and up through college. I had a series of life events that made me think it was me against the world, where I had to fight through everything with force. It was very Taylor Swift's "you're on your own

Growing your trust in yourself and growing how strong your intuition is comes hand in hand. This post will show you what practices I have been following to grow this part of me that you can then try yourself. If you try these tips, let me know how it goes! What is intuition? First, what is the definition of intuition? Why do we care? If you found this post, you know the answer, but I define intuition as an inner knowing that feels natural to you and shows up without prompting

Hi 💞 missed you. I haven’t updated my blog and newsletter to talk to you in a while. There were a few reasons for that. If you have a few spare minutes, I would like to tell you about it. There have been many times in the past few years, where I have backed out of what I wanted to do out of fear. Can you relate to that? Self-sabotage sucks 😢 It is like there is so much potential at the tip of my tongue, excited and ready to come out, but then my mind starts to create questi

There is something empowering about saying screw it all and starting over. If you are reading this post, know that you are an iterator. You are the kind of person willing to seek answers when the shit hits the fan too many times. You are not someone who settles. You have standards that your life should meet and you are putting in the energy to bring it into your reality. When something doesn't work anymore, you know it and you don't tolerate it. That already puts you in a pos

Today's mood is starting over. Decluttering isn't wasting money. It's a mindset shift. This post covers why "does it spark joy" doesn't work for everyone, especially with ADHD, plus three practical hacks: a gut check test, a Swedish death cleaning approach, and how to break the buy-declutter-rebuy cycle with aspirational purchases. Includes a simple gratitude ritual to say goodbye to items without guilt, so decluttering feels peaceful instead of frantic.

Welcome to mood, our new series of personal essays on rebeccaksampson.com. These posts will be about empowering you to take on a new perspective to problems and scenarios you encounter at work, in your family, the past, and in general life. First up, we're going to talk about the bitch you hate from work, that friend of a friend that you don't want invited, and/or the random cousin you see at family get togethers that people keep forcing you towards because you have one thing

Hello to my fellow badass manifestors.

Life threw a big freaking surprise my way 13 days ago. If you haven't heard, I'll fill you in, but first, let me give you some background. I've been diligently working on the sequel to my fiction book, Ember Dragon Daughter, these past few months. I had an idea for another book at the back of my head that kept getting louder, but I ignored it. Then, I had the cover of this new book pop straight into my head. I knew I couldn't ignore it anymore. Early May I contacted a design

As I now work from home full-time, I have made some updates to my routines to help me better symbolize when my work starts and ends. Setting up routines and habit stacks that are tied only to work helps keep my energy clear, which also improves how I manifest my goals in this new period of my life. This is especially important to me because my home office is in my bedroom, in the walk-in closet that I've converted. I need to create feelings of abundance both for work and for
