I Don't Get Paid Enough for This

Don't you love living in a capitalist society? Where, no matter what we're going through, we have to clock in the next day and act like nothing ever happened. Oh and work drama on top of it? Joy! This is my space to share stories of balancing work and life, pressing through hardships, and eventually living in our purpose.

  • Virgo Season

    Dear Kosi, happy birthday. You made it to see 28. To be honest, you wasn’t sure if you were going l to make it. You did. So what now? “I’ve been your therapist for some time and I’m just seeing a pattern. From my notes, it looks like you’re out of your major depressive episode…

  • I’m “Outside?”

    I took some time away from my blog to heal a bit more. I felt like it was becoming a very dark space because I was in a dark space. However, I’m stepping a bit more into the light each and every day. Once I realized in January that I was 100% sexual assaulted, it…

  • What’s on the Other Side?

    “He-he-oh” “He-he-oh” In my mind, “Am I about to give birth or something?” Lol As I lay down in my first breath work mediation and sound bath, I never thought just breathing was going to take my pain away. I never understood mediation and how it works. This was the first time I did. “He-he-oh”…

  • The aftermath of “Awkwardly Finding my Survivor Voice”

    “Awkwardly Finding my Survivor Voice” was written for shock value? I wanted to shift blame from being a “mistress” with someone in an open marriage? I wanted to ruin the perpetrator’s life?

  • It’s me, hi! I’m the problem. It’s me.

    “Did you hear my covert narcissism I disguise as altruism like some some kind of congressman?” Taylor Swift I changed my Instagram bio this week: “The depressed narcissistic writer. Addicted to tequila and working out” The English nerd in me is happily cheering for the oxymorons. I love a good literary device. But, let’s dive…

  • Your coworkers are NOT your friends

    I love having fun. I love going out and having a good time. I like to be the fun girl. The girl who gets everyone around them to take shots. The girl who is goofy af and can’t stop laughing. I have absolutely ZERO social anxiety. However, LA has been a tough place to make…

  • Awkwardly Finding My Survivor Voice

    When does the transition between sexual assault victim to survivor happen? When one stops victim blaming. When one makes an effort to heal. When one finds their voice. On August 27th 2022, I was raped on my birthday. But first, let’s talk about the build up. I didn’t really want to celebrate my birthday. I…
