This page is a compilation of just about everything that can help you on your way to building your career. These are all the resources I love to use for upskilling, building a business, a blog, or anything else you might want to do with it!
Learn new skills from industry experts in design, writing, marketing, entrepreneurship, and so much more.
LinkedIn Learning (formerly Lynda) comes with a LinkedIn premium membership. It has courses on just about anything, and like Skillshare there are some big names among the teachers.
Udemy is a course marketplace with a TON of great courses. It has a lot of similarities to other course platforms, with one major difference: you pay by the course. Courses on Udemy can be anywhere from free to $200.
Coursera is the online learning platform that looks the most like traditional college, and you can actually take college degrees on it. Add a course from Duke or Stanford to your resume!
DataCamp is the online learning site that’s dedicated to learning all things Data Science. Make the jump into coding and programming.

I discovered this app on the day of my comprehensive exams, and it’s been the single greatest thing of my life. Meditation saved me, and Headspace showed me how.
I built Roostervane on Bluehost, and I love them. Their customer support is fantastic and they’ve always been great to work with. I totally recommend them for starting a blog or website! (See my newest Bluehost project here)
Roostervane is currently hosted on Kinsta. It’s fantastic and fast, but also a little more pricey.

I’ve tried different email software over time. I really believe this is the best and it’s really easy to use.
Roostervane is built on Elementor. It’s a fantastic drag and drop page builder that works with WordPress and makes it really easy to create beautiful pages.
