We all have a desire to make connections, have meaningful conversations, and feel inspired.

Despite all the curation of perfection we see on social media, staying inspired and feeling good about ourselves is challenging for many of us, myself included.

I won't lie, the struggle to stay inspired hit me this month. With the still-cold temps, the pace of work quickening, and the tug at my heart of missing my friends back home, I've been feeling a bit drained of inspiration.

I imagine you might need that inspirational nudge too, right?

LIFE
YELLOW BLOG
I found this blog/conference/website about a year ago and signed up for their email list immediately. What I love about this site is that it's geared towards women who want to change the world in the smallest to biggest ways. Its message is all about positivity. Whether you need to inspiration to overcome fear of the unknown or you've moved to a new place and need tips on how to connect/network with people, this site is all about bringing goodness into the everyday.
CLEMENTINE DAILY
Clementine Daily is one of those inspirational websites that quietly sneaks up on you with powerful stuff. Clementine's inspirational page is replete with beautiful daily quotes that will have your spirits lifted in no time. One of my favorite topics on the site is wellness. They cover articles about everything from identifiers of depression and mental health to developing healthy sleep patterns. The reads are easy, educational, and very, very inspirational. Bottom line, I love this site.
BLOG/BUSINESS
THIS RENEGADE LOVE
Lauren and I met via Instagram in the fall. Her clean, crisp, and minimal feed is beautiful and brutally honest, which is what makes her unique. This Torontonian is a super powerhouse hustler blogger with a can-do attitude. She tells it like it is on her blog and provides an open honest dialogue about life and business. If you need a good kick in the pants with some great business and life advice, this is a go-to blog!
MELYSSA GRIFFIN (formerly, The Nectar Collective)
Melyssa is meant to be an entrepreneur. She is great at what she does and is uplifting in her advice-giving. Her blog offers freebies & blog checklists after almost every post and I've more often than not printed and posted her checklists on my wall. Her uplifting methods & tips on entrepreneurship will have you rockin' your biz in no time!
CAREER/LIFESTYLE
THE EVERYGIRL
From finance to travel, The Everygirl has it all. Their city weekend guides are some of my favorites reads before I'm headed to a new city. I had the honor of writing an article on staying positive as an entrepreneur and it was one of my highlights as a blogger. Their articles are written by a community of women, mothers, entrepreneurs, people like you and me, who are searching for their dream job, saving up for their next trip, or simply wanting to inspire you.
MOTHERHOOD/STYLE
THOUGHTS BY NATALIE
Far and away, my favorite place to turn to/recommend for my mommy friends who love down-to-earth motherhood and style advice. Natalie, a mother and blogger, is such a fresh voice for young first-time mothers out there who want to not only feel good inside but look comfortably stylish on the outside.
RELATIONSHIPS/LIFE
VERILY
Both in life and relationships, there is a delicate balance to manage. I've found that Verily offers heartfelt, hit-home articles like making sure you value your limits by using the right terminology to change your frame of mind or understanding your worth and value you have to offer the world. This reader-friendly site also provides sensitive advice for relationships of all kinds.
