Why You Need An Updated Professional Headshot

03/30/2023 by Deanna +

Today, my company took some new headshots to update our website and social channels. Much needed, as we needed something cohesive and refreshed. This got me thinking...everyone needs an updated professional headshot and needs one fairly often. Headshots are a great way to stay current and maximize your social media. Plus it was a fun excuse to go get a blowout and head downtown for a few hours

On checking out and lack of motivation

08/29/2022 by Deanna +

It's been a doozy of a summer. I've been living that pandemic summer for three summers now! 2020: COVID was still new. 2021: I had a newborn premie. 2022: I became immunocompromised. Ugh. I won't go into too much detail but I was diagnosed with a blood disorder in May called ITP where your platelets go way down to dangerous levels. Two hospital stays, three rounds of steroids and many

02/23/2022 by Deanna +

I'm not really clear how this happened, but I have an 8-month old. What? It's been a while since I've posted about my workout routine, so I thought I'd share how I am fitting it in at this point. I think the last time I posted, I was about 20 weeks pregnant. Shortly after that, I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes (a surprise) and preeclampsia (something I was a bit more predestined to get).

Why Every PR Pro Needs to Engage With Journalists on Twitter

01/21/2022 by Deanna +

I joined Twitter in September 2008 (!!) according to my bio. Twitter has always been the non-loved social media channel. People jumped on Instagram. Fell in love with TikTok. Remember Vine? They were all over it. But Twitter? People who were non-believers always said they didn't "get" it or never found the value. But I have always been here to say it's my favorite. Which may be another post for
