Since I can remember, I’ve been incapable of being anyone other than myself.

That honesty? It hasn’t always served me. Especially in a world where “playing it cool” is a badge of honor.

I almost wrote this blog from the high horse of having it all figured out — but then realized I’ve been doing the same thing I’m warning you about. Pretending to care less. Holding back. Acting chill.

The truth is: You can’t teach what you don’t live.

And if we’re honest, this whole cool act? It’s costing us connection — the very thing we crave most.

This is your invitation to drop the act and lean into the messier, more meaningful parts of being human.

Self-awareness isn't just about spotting your flaws. What if the real courage lies in owning your greatness, too?

In a world that often prioritizes logic over emotion, have we lost touch with the very thing that makes us human? In this reflective piece, Momentum Consultant Caitlynrose Clark explores the weight of empathy, the challenge of staying open-hearted in leadership, and the courage it takes to truly feel.

One of the greatest gifts you can give yourself is the freedom to be okay with someone not liking you—or even being mad at you. For years, I struggled with the fear of what others thought and how I made them feel. It was an all-consuming and, ultimately, pointless endeavor.

There’s nothing wrong with big emotions—they’re a vital part of the human experience. It’s important to feel them, though it’s not always in your or others' best interest to express them immediately.

We've all heard the term “keep your options open,” but what if keeping our options open actually narrows our ability to get what we want? Being specific – I mean really specific, – increases our chances of getting what we want.

Every time I find myself in an obsessive pattern of bettering myself, I am quite literally the most miserable version of myself.

Ask yourself, what are you practicing? Does it make the going tougher than it needs to be? Good news, you make the rules.

Last Monday, I found myself facing an excruciating decision, one that no dog owner ever wants to make. It was the day we had to say goodbye to our sweet boy, Blaze. At just one and a half years old, he was the epitome of the goodest boy, bringing boundless joy and love into our lives.

As humans, we often fall prey to what I like to call "someday syndrome." It's this idea that right now isn't good enough, and that someday, things will magically fall into place.

There are times when I was feeling guilty for hitting the pause. However, I've come to realize that this is the part I don't want to miss. This is when the real magic happens.

I can say with conviction that Momentum Consulting co-founder Craig Clark also happens to be the best dad in the world. 5 years ago I gave him a journal with 20 reasons why that’s the case. I recently found the journal and wanted to…

I’ve been stuck in this mindset that I need to make grand changes to my life, and then it will be fixed. If I just move to a new city, get a new house, a new car, a new therapist…

It was the best haircut, all for the price of $37. I was reminded of a powerful life lesson: Letting go of expectations often leads to a much happier existence.
