Stand Up + Speak Your Mind
This week, our country experienced something it hasn’t experienced in two centuries. Our nation’s capital was stormed. It happened during a traditionally routine and peaceful part of the transition of power process, no less. For many of those watching the attack unfold, it was a terrifying sight to see, and I can’t even begin to […]
I Am So Proud of You
I am so proud of you. For fighting through the pain. For continuing to move forward, despite all of the days you wanted to give up. For choosing you, even when other choices seemed more desirable.

Reflect. Recharge. Reset.
It’s a new year. Again. 2020 is in the past, hopefully taking its negative energy with it. As we enter into a new year, tradition tells us we have to make a list of resolutions. This year, though, instead of coming up with a list of ways to change myself, I’d rather focus on ways […]

Give Yourself the Gift of Self-Love
Always remember that who you are is a gift. You are a gift to this world just by being you. We don’t give ourselves enough credit. We can be so mean to ourselves for our mistakes, and be so compassionate to a friend for that very same mistake. It’s great you can see the good […]
Feel Your Feelings
I don’t know what normal feels like anymore. Lately, it seems like everyone is competing over who’s coping best or who’s struggling most. Either you’re thriving or you’re barely making it through.
