Life Defined Through Me

Hi, it's Riley!

Welcome to RiDEFINED: My Creative Outlet. A space where I share everything that inspires me, the questions I'm sitting with, the conversations that stick with me, my two cents, and my takes (or in this case, my ri-takes). Photos, recipes, advice, and so much more. Honestly? It's just another excuse for me to talk.... Here are all things RiDEFINED.

So what's RiDEFINED?

RiDEFINED is truly my space. It's a place where I can put myself out there in a way that feels like me.

Part of it is a showcase: my work, my experiences, the things I've done and the things I'm good at. But it's also more than my portfolio. It's where I share my perspective on life and the advice I wish someone had given me, the lessons I'm still learning, the conversations that are worth having.

The whole point is to be honest about where I am, share what I know, what I don't and maybe make someone else feel a little less like they're doing this all alone.

Ever felt like someone doesn't get where you're coming from? Unfortunally we face it every day. Not just in personal life itself, but within the workplace as well. When someone can truly get where were coming from, it makes every life just that much more enjoyable. Especially in the workplace.

Leaders I Look -"ed" Too

Growing up, we’re often asked the question: What do you want to be when you grow up? According to Today (2025) , children are often asked what they want to be when they grow up as early as preschool. I mean what??? I can't even decide what to make myself for dinner, let alone what I want to be when I grow up. The poor kids! But really, when you think about it, what does this question really even mean? And why are we asking it at such an incredibly young age? Of course, thi
