Hey there, I’m Pam.

Writing has always been something I thoroughly enjoy. As I think back on my childhood, I can recall writing books of 100+ pages at a young age in elementary and middle school. It’s something that has always come naturally to me, which is why I started this blog.

I had always been taught to go to college and get a degree - and I did achieve this goal, receiving one in Business Administration.

Truthfully, I didn’t exactly know what I wanted to do when I “grew up”. I just knew I wanted that 9-5 job I had been taught to get one day. 

My schedule was so full in college - I waitressed 3-4 days a week, I was on the executive board of my sorority, I was a full time student, and a very social person. 

I specifically remember telling my mother on the phone senior year of college that I just wanted a 9-5 job - one thing to focus on rather than running around constantly - as I was at the time.

Upon graduation, I packed my bags and moved to Florida - I couldn’t take the winter anymore. Three weeks following, I had landed my first “big girl job” as a marketing coordinator.

I did enjoy the steady schedule and having weekends off, but because I wasn’t used to all the free time outside of work I began brainstorming ways I could still have an outlet of creativity. This is when the idea of my blog originally came about. 

I started my blog around 2020, but I struggled with consistency as I followed other bloggers on social media platforms that told me the “should’s” of blogging. I tried to follow the “rules” - the constant posting, promoting, and putting myself out there.

This felt icky and not genuine. It led to me feeling rushed in my content, feeling salesy and not the soft, gentle person I believe I am.

As time went on, I eventually went back into serving around the summer of 2021. I craved a less stressful environment and although serving can be considered “fast-paced”, I enjoyed being able to leave work without the worry of emails and other work problems outside of the office.

I continued to work on my blog and tried to give social media promoting another chance. Yet, it still didn’t feel right putting my face and life all over the Internet. I craved privacy and the expectations of social media with my business crossed my boundaries and internal values.

I knew I had to put my foot down and begin paving new paths for my writings and courses to be available without devaluing my natural, gentle nature. I began focusing on Pinterest and SEO, which was a softer approach that felt right for me.

As my writings grew, I began connecting with and supporting more and more women. I began to see how many women who discovered my blog organically are attracted to my work and writing because of the similar feelings they have revolving around this fast-paced world. 

Some of these women were beginning to find new ways to live slowly and gently, yet were struggling with breaking old patterns and identities that no longer served them. Others had been taught to ignore their boundaries and to continue following what was outwardly expected of them. Others had been taught to disregard their intuition and sensitivities. Many women were encountering all these challenges at varying degrees.

What I have observed is this outward, pushing and result-driven model has been implemented into our society in all different aspects of our lives. Yet for the woman who thrives through a softer and gentler lifestyle - this focus may be counterintuitive to her natural being and values. 

Which is why soft living and setting boundaries is a central focus of Positively Pam. A gentle, feminine space where we discover the world of wellness together. To learn different ways to find positivity, balance and wellness in this fast-paced world we are living in. An invitation to remember and restore values of your inner soul. Not to push yourself in a way that doesn’t feel true to you, or to strive to keep up with the world in a way that goes against your values.
