How to Find People Who Support You

This post is sponsored by Wente Vineyards but the content and opinions expressed here are my own. This post is intended for those 21 & up.

The past month has been a crazy one, which is why I am looking forward to celebrating National Chardonnay Day on May 25th! (let’s be honest, do I really need an excuse to drink good wine? Nope.)

When it comes to making major decisions, like leaving a 15 year career, I am so thankful for my husband & close friends who always support me. I met my husband, Donnie, in college and we have been together ever since. From big milestones to important choices, I know I can count on him to have my back. His advice and encouragement makes me feel like I am going in the right direction.

I also want to give a shout out to my besties, who patiently listened to me ramble off the pros and cons of leaving my job. I am very lucky to have a small group of girlfriends I can be COMPLETELY honest with, no matter what the topic. I know they won’t judge me (at least, they don’t admit it, at first… ha!) and they genuinely have my best interests at heart when giving me advice.

Take a look at the people close to you. Do they support you and lift you up? Do they encourage your dreams and ideas, or mock you for them? If you are not getting the confidence you need, then maybe it is time to tighten up your support circle! My small but mighty support system helped me make the leap from TV to public relations. Now I am one week in, and while it is early, I can already see that I made the right choice. 🙂

All that is left to do now is celebrate! With National Chardonnay Day this month, I am highlighting one of my favorites by Wente Vineyards. Wente has been around since the late 1800’s and has been dubbed the “First Family of Chardonnay.” In fact, many of the chardonnays you drink today originated from grape vines cut from the Wente family that were labeled and shared among other wineries decades ago. The Riva Ranch single vineyard chardonnay is sourced exclusively from Wente’s Riva Ranch Vineyards.

Grab and glass & cheers to the people in your life in support YOU! Be sure to check out the selection of Wente wines and look for them the next time you need a good wine!

    Nothing breaks a good and kind soul more than being around people who don’t support them. – NmDiaries

    This post just reminded me of a poem I wrote not too long ago. I am currently at a stage where I am not getting much support. But at the same time thats okay because I know that people won’t support you during the process but when the magic happens everyone suddenly appears.

    You are fortunate that you have people who support you! The people around me don’t mock me, but sometimes they don’t say anything at all, which can be just as bad.

    Having someone who supports you in an adventure is really hard to find! It is really nice that you have supportive people in your life. I have a few but others love to talk about their jobs when I start talking about what I do they just look down or nod. That is there way of saying its uncomfortable talking about it because they don’t understand it.

    Greetings! Great post as always – really enjoy reading up on your parenting advice and tips. I totally agree that having a strong support system can make your parenting life 10 times easier! I’m glad that you are surrounded by loved ones all around!

    It can be challenging being a busy mom and sometimes a vacation is much needed. To upkeep your house while you’re gone I suggest hiring a house sitter! They can pick up your mail, water your plants and even look after your pets. I recommend visiting a website like Housesitter.com to view opportunities for you!
