A Work in Progress: My Personal and Professional Development Diary

A Work in Progress: My Personal and Professional Development Diary

Navigating adulthood and adversity with transparency and vulnerability, here we highlight progress over perfection through my personal and professional development diary. Each episode I document and discuss my coming of age trials and tribulations as I trust the process on my journey to becoming. Join me as I peel back the curtain of perfection, and share my personal stories, with the hopes of helping you grow through, what you go through. I’ll be discussing everything from education and careers, overcoming failure, love, friendships and relationships, religion and spirituality, beauty, health and wellness, mastering your mindset, and becoming your best self along the way. Sharing the highs and lows and the real and raw parts of the story that no one talks about, I am Brelynn Hunt, A Work in Progress.
