THE POSITIVELY STRONG JOURNAL

Ideas for living intentionally, thinking bigger, and creating a life that supports where you want to go.

WELCOME!

This is where I share the research, ideas, projects, and personal experiences that have shaped Positively Strong Living.

You'll find everything from vision boards and goal setting to healthy living, home design, routines, real estate, travel, and personal growth. The topics may be different, but they're all connected by one idea: being intentional about what you want and how you create it.

WHERE IT ALL BEGAN

In many ways, Positively Strong Living began with a vision board.

I didn't create one and wait for the universe to deliver what I'd pasted onto it. I used it as a way to explore what I wanted, uncover interests I hadn't pursued, and start taking action.

That process pushed me outside my comfort zone. I continued my education, explored real estate and investing, discovered a love of renovating and design, embraced creative projects, and became more intentional about the way I wanted to spend my time and build my life.

Over time, I realized the things I was exploring weren't as unrelated as they seemed. Health, wealth, time, and home all influence the life we're able to create.

That idea eventually became the foundation for my soon to be released book, and continues to shape what you'll find here.

Positively Strong Living began with a simple belief: home is where the life you want begins to take shape.

Dream big, get clear on what matters, and build the routines, habits, and surroundings that help turn your vision into everyday life.
