The Way You Talk To Yourself Matters
with Kaitlyn Rightmyer
Introduce yourself! Who areย you?
Hey, Iโm Kaitlyn Rightmyer! Iโm a full time model and life guidance mentor currently based in LA.ย I grew up in the suburbs of New Jersey, studied Biology in college, and also received my graduate degree in nursing three years ago.ย I spend my days working on set, sharing all things holistic health, and mentoring people to be their healthiest and happiest selves.ย In my free time, you can find me either in my kitchen or doing just about anything outside. My ultimate dream in life is to run my own non profit!ย
Didย youย always know whatย youย wanted to do as a career?
I always knew that I wanted to help people. It took me awhile to figure out what that meant for me.ย Growing up, I thought I would be a doctor and deliver babies.ย I modeled all of high school and my early twenties and left the business in search of personal fulfillment.ย Then I went to nursing school thinking health care was the place I would be able to make the difference I yearned for. I quickly realized that I was much more passionate about prevention rather than treatment and acute care.ย It was at this point that my own holistic health journey began; which ultimately led me to my career today.ย ย ย ย ย
Looking back, what wouldย youย say to 16 year oldย you?
I would tell myself that the way you talk to yourself matters. That itโs okay to be sensitive. That just as much as you are kind to others, be kind to yourself. We each deserve the same love we give to everyone around us.ย ย
Whatโs the best adviceย youโve ever received?
The best advice Iโve ever been given is that, โYou are exactly where youโre supposed to be.โย Although sometimes we donโt want to accept certain situations that are happening in our lives, when we do, we allow ourselves to create space to see what that situation is trying to teach us.ย Itโs hard to see it at the time, but everything has a purpose; to show us the way, to allow something better to come along.ย Allow yourself to be open to that!ย
How doย youย manage your work-life balance?
This is something that I really prioritize in my life! To be the most productive and show up as my best self for work, I need to give myself time and space to live my life as well.ย I make it a point to do something for myself every day, even if itโs something small.ย Some of my favorite ways to decompress are cooking and baking, walking to the beach, listening to a podcast, or lighting a candle. It doesnโt have to be complicated. Iโve developed habits that I truly enjoy and am able to consistently maintain that keep me feeling my best; which makes packed days more manageable.ย One thing Iโve been working on is studying my calendar to not only be the most productive, but also hold myself accountable!ย
