I’ll be honest—I’ve been dragging the last few days. Ideas aren’t flowing, motivation feels flat, and nothing I pick up seems to click. Maybe you’ve had weeks like that too.

I’ve noticed a pattern: it often happens when I finally have space to slow down. When I’m busy and when things are pushing me...

There are days when conversations feel heavier than they should. You’re smiling, nodding, answering questions, and doing your best to stay present. Meanwhile, your energy left the room an hour ago. That’s peopling: trying to keep up with human interaction when you feel like you’ve got nothing left i...

We have all felt the sting of being left out. Standing on the edge of a circle, pretending not to care. Scrolling through pictures of a gathering we weren’t invited to. Watching laughter from across the room and wondering why no one asked us to join. Smiling on the outside while aching inside, quest...

The other day, I needed to buy tickets for an event. Easy enough, right? Except the app wasn’t cooperating. After a couple of failed tries, I thought, I’ll just reach out to the person who sent me the link.

But then I stopped myself.

And I’m so glad I did.

I realized right in that moment that rea...

There’s this unspoken message out there that dreaming is for the young.
That there’s a window—and if you didn’t climb through it by a certain age, well, maybe you missed your chance.

I never bought into that.

I’m still dreaming.
And I don’t plan to stop.

Maybe the dreams look a little different n...

Picture this.

You’ve finally made it through your day. Dinner and dishes are done. Another load of laundry is started. The house is quiet. And now, it's your turn to relax. You settle in, grab a little snack, just a handful of something, and then almost without thinking, your phone's in your hand.

We don’t always notice when it happens.
One day, you’re asking yourself what you want… and before you realize it, you’re adjusting your choices based on what they might think.

Not because you’re unsure.
Not because you don’t care.
But because it’s just what we do. We keep the peace. We try to be ki...

I’ve been repeating a specific mantra to myself lately, especially on the days when I’m dragging or dreading the to-do list. It’s not a magic phrase, but it has been changing things for me in bigger ways than I ever expected.

“I get to.”

Three simple words that shift everything.

Not I have to.
No...

I’ve tried a lot of diets.
And the truth?
They all work.

Until they don’t.
Until I quit.
You know what I mean?

I’ve counted points, tracked macros, timed my meals, given up carbs, added more protein, tried fasting, swore off sugar, and even bought the matching containers. And each time, I start of...

I crawled into bed the other night, exhausted in that bone-deep way only a full day can bring.
Lights off. Sheets pulled up. Eyes closed.

And then…

Did I lock the back door?
Did I reply to that email?
I need to schedule the oil change.
What am I making for dinner tomorrow?

It’s like my brain wait...

I’ve wrapped up a lot of coaching calls in the last twenty years—but last week might go down as one of my most memorable.

We were winding down a great session. The conversation had been honest, deep, and encouraging. And just as I glanced at the blinking light of my next call ringing in… the words ...

I hadn’t planned to run into anyone that day.

I had just finished mowing for three hours. I was sweaty, flushed, and probably didn’t smell like fresh flowers. You know the kind of afternoon—where your hair’s doing its own thing and the last thing on your mind is running into someone you know.

But ...
