Beginner Blogger: A Series

Welcome to the overview page of my Beginner Bloggers series! In this series, I want to address the concerns of beginner blogger. I’ve read through so many Pinterest posts on advice for beginners, but I feel like they’re all written by big-time successful bloggers. Not to say that those aren’t quality posts because they are, but when I was first starting out, I wanted someone to tell me how it really is. Yeah some of their tips will help you to gain success in the blogging world, but most beginners aren’t looking for that. Beginner bloggers are looking for reassurance, and that’s really what I hope to provide with this series!

(don’t worry, there’ll be a picture here soon!)

In honor of my one year blogiversary, I want to share what I’ve learned over the past year. I know what it’s like to be a beginner. I’ve learned so much over these past twelve months about running a business (I still call it a business even though I’m making $0 at the current moment) and creating a brand for myself. I wanted to give back to the blogging community and give my side of the story when it comes to being a beginner. These articles are what I wish I had had when I first started.

Below you’ll find the topics I am going to cover and the dates that those posts will be available!

Taking some time outside of CrossFit to drill down and focus on my weightlifting technique. Snatches and cleans have always been a little intimidating and I’ve been scared to push myself on them for fear of injury. Looking forward to seeing how my lifts progress over the next few months!

Oh, and mental health is doing fantastically, too!

@cattyelizabeth5 and I are back after 3 long months, and we’re so excited to share the first episode of season 5 of Girls Talk! It’s a good one and a pretty great way to spend an hour of your quarantine 💁‍♀️
These photos were taken THREE YEARS AGO... honestl These photos were taken THREE YEARS AGO... honestly it feels like yesterday. I was 9 months in to my fitness journey, tracked macros like it was my job, and religiously went to the gym 5-6 days a week. Seeing this pop up in my “Memories” was just what I needed today because being stuck at home because of my susceptibility to lung problems and #covid_19 has left me highly unmotivated to workout...
