feeling lost? try this to get clarity.

Remember the old days of waking up the company of a sweet, little… flip phone? There were no startling emails to read from your boss, no Instagram or Facebook feeds to scroll through, and nothing to pull you into the rabbit hole of “compare and despair” before you even lifted your head off the pillow.

1 big lesson from NYT bestselling author, Anita Moorjani.

In late 2016, I was virtually introduced to New York Times bestselling author and international speaker, Anita Moorjani; a strong, sweet, magical woman with an incredible story.

3 essential rules for epic productivity.

Since the beginning of the year, I’ve been on a mission to become a productivity ninja. Instead of reaching for my phone the moment I slide up against some writer’s block, I get up from my desk and have a solo dance party (and it works wonders, not kidding).

I have a really vivid memory as a teenager walking around my backyard with an old manual Canon. I took pictures of the trees, zoomed in on the flowers, and felt so confident capturing tiny little moments I found beautiful. It was just fun.

Before you get all, “wait, I could be doing nothing to get clients?,” I’ll explain. I am in no way suggesting that you stop all efforts to find your amazing customers; action is... Read More

allow me to reintroduce myself

Back in June, I was casually scrolling through Instagram like I always do (100x per day). Since I prefer to follow people that inspire me, I see a million different inspirational quotes in one swipe.

the snazzy, new blairbadenhop.com has arrived!

I feel like I should be popping bottles of pink champagne right now with all of my homies. Instead, I’m having a solo dance party in my apartment (sans booze) to celebrate my brand new website.
