Learning to assert oneself isn’t always an easy
process. Whether it’s taking a leap of faith by leaving one career
behind for another or learning to pursue a personal goal, going
after what you want is a skill many of us develop only over time.
In today’s podcast, I’m chatting with prolific writer and
journalist Elana Lyn Gross, whose accomplishments are extensive and
varied. Speaking with her provided me with great insight into the
importance of looking forward and not stopping until a goal is
accomplished.

Healthy living means focusing
on your physical and emotional health however works best for you.
Whether it’s working out regularly, going to bed early, meditating,
or even taking a break from your to-do list to get dinner with a
friend or watch a movie, it’s important to make time for both your
emotional and physical well-being.
Elana
is full of wonderful advice and suggestions, and I hope you enjoy
listening to her story and learning from her experience. Of the
many astute observations she made during out chat, this one stands
out: “You’re one workout away from a better mood!” How true is
that? No matter what you choose to do to relieve stress, there’s
something incredibly cathartic about sweating it out for a
bit.
Elana
is a freelance journalist, Forbes contributor, and student at
Columbia Journalism School. Her writing has been published in
Forbes, Fortune, Fast Company, TIME, Entrepreneur, Business
Insider, USA Today, Mashable, The Huffington Post, Delish, Glamour,
