Committing to Confidence - a Guest Blog Series by Katelyn Andrist

This is a guest blog from Katelyn Andrist, embracing her SII: Commit to Confidence: Envisioning A More Confident You! I hope you enjoy it.


Here are 10 things I wish I knew growing up :

  1. It is okay to be upset. No one can tell you how you feel. You are allowed to feel your emotions the way YOU want. 

  2. It is okay to NOT always be good at everything you try in life. You will find your gifts, talents, and passions one day. Good things take time. 

  3. It is okay to cry. Feel your emotions. Allow yourself to let go and just feel what is going on in your heart and mind. 

  4. It is okay to want more for yourself. Do not stay in a little box. Allow yourself to grow, heal, and try new things. You can let go and step into a new chapter. 

  5. It is okay to fight for yourself. You only have your voice at the end of the day. Sometimes you will have to fight for what is right for you. 

  6. Do not let others determine your future. Only YOU can decide what you want and deserve.  

  7. It is okay to think differently than others do. Minds of imagination and creation make this world a better place. Having multiple ideas allows us to create the best one. 

  8. It is okay to make mistakes. Make BIG mistakes because this is the only way you will grow. You need to learn and create guidance for others.

  9. It is okay to be YOURSELF. This world needs your voice, heart, and mind. You deserve to be yourself and to be loved for who you are. Do not beg for anyone to love you. 

  10.  Love. Always choose love. Every human being is hurting inside, having pain, doubts, and insecurities. Be that person who loves them and brings love to their life. 


This is your friendly reminder to start each day with pure intentions with guided reflection, mindfulness, and self-care. You have a purpose to create the life you deserve no matter what age. Take back your peace and power.


Today is for you. Capture Today. Imagine Tomorrow.


I intend to live with an open and joyful heart... will you?
