Hi, I published a new blog post today, and I’m going to be honest: I didn’t write it from a calm place. I wrote it from the WTF energy that’s been coursing through my body as I watch what’s happening in our country right now. I’m tired of the lies. I’m tired of the dehumanizing language. I’m tired of watching people die and then having their humanity erased in real time, as if control of the narrative matters more than truth. Human dignity is not partisan. Truth is not optional. If you’ve...

Hi! So much of life is lived in the realm of obligation; the shoulds, the have-tos, the roles we carry with care and integrity. This week’s Weekly Spark invites a different question: What would your life be like if you allowed passion, not obligation, to guide your next steps? I wrote a short reflection and included gentle journaling prompts to help you notice where obligation may be draining your energy and where passion might be asking for more room. You can read this week’s blog post...

Hi! This week, we begin. I’ve created a six-step framework called the HUMBLE Pathway, a framework I use with students and clients who are navigating major life transitions and seeking more love, purpose, joy, and meaningful impact in their lives. The HUMBLE Pathway includes a series of reflective questions that guide this journey. Over the next six weeks, I’ll be sharing one question each week, along with a brief overview of the corresponding step of the Pathway. If you’d like to go a little...

Hi, As the new year settles in, I’ve been thinking about how much pressure there is to have answers or a plan right away. I wrote a short reflection that offers a different starting place; one rooted in curiosity rather than resolution. It’s called An Invitation: Begin the Year With Better Questions, and it also opens a gentle Weekly Spark series I’ll be sharing over the coming weeks. If you’re sensing a shift but don’t yet know what comes next, this is a quiet place to begin. You can read it...

Hi! As this year comes to a close, I’ve been sitting with one simple reality. Life can be chaotic ... but right alongside the chaos are small miracles that can ground us in the present moment and guide us along the way. It’s been a year of noise for many of us, with busy days, heavy headlines, personal challenges, and the constant pull to do more, be more, and figure it all out. In the midst of all that motion, it’s easy to miss the quiet miracles that happen right alongside the chaos. I...

Hi, I’m sharing something different today. Recent events stirred a story in me that I’ve carried quietly for a long time—one I didn’t plan to share, but one that asked to be told. This post includes reflections on addiction, violence, and personal experience. I’m offering it with care, and with the hope that naming hard truths can open space for compassion, understanding, choice, and healing. If now isn’t the right time for you to read it, please trust that.If it is, I hope it meets you...
