I love to travel, try new foods (both simple and "exotic"), ingest caffeine, and watch political news coverage. Im a big pop culture junkie who isnt afraid to say she loves "In Touch" Magazine! A social marketing expert and psychologist by training who works in the public health field trying to bring a little common sense to it all.
All the world is my television and I like to provide commentary on it.
Cheers
There are weeks when the world feels like it’s unraveling at the seams and then, like a fuzzy, lumbering gift from the universe, bigfoot re-enters the group chat. Not since the Minerva Monster sightings have Ohio residents been quite this collectively side-eyeing the woods. And now, just as […]
There are days when the world feels like it’s gently wobbling off its axis and then there are days when a 6-foot, 17,000-pound meteor casually tears across the sky at 44,000 mph over Ohio like it’s late for a meeting. And no one told me. Apparently, according to […]
This week my spam folder has taken on the tone of a very disappointed guidance counselor. Every morning, nestled between offers for miracle collagen powder and a prince from somewhere needing my urgent banking assistance, I find an email with the subject line: “Failure Notice.” Just that. No […]
People talk a lot about networking. Expand your circle.Grow your circle.Build your circle. The assumption seems to be that the larger the circle, the better. But I have a small suspicion about circles. They are not all created equal. Some circles are power sources. And some circles are […]
I saw a post on LinkedIn the other day that stopped me mid-scroll. It began with a toungue-in-cheek dramatic declaration “I spilled my coffee this morning.” Naturally, I leaned in. Because if the internet has taught us anything, it is that no minor inconvenience goes unanalyzed or made […]
Which animal would you compare yourself to and why? Someone recently asked me a question that sounded simple but turned out to be quietly existential. “What animal would you compare yourself to and why?” Now, this is the kind of question people answer very confidently. Someone immediately says […]
Apparently sharks had a bit of a moment in 2025. According to the annual International Shark Attack File from the Florida Museum of Natural History, deaths from unprovoked shark attacks rose 125% worldwide. Which is the kind of statistic that makes you pause mid–beach vacation and reconsider the […]
I realized something important about myself the other night while loading the dishwasher. I have a rare and possibly underappreciated life skill. I am extremely good at dishwasher spatial engineering. Not just good. Elite. While others in the household appear to load the dishwasher using what I can […]
I have noticed something deeply suspicious about adult calendars. They are extremely full. There are meetings, deadlines, calls, errands and the mysterious category known as “follow-up.” From 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., the calendar looks like a highly organized game of Tetris where responsibility always wins. But if […]
Every once in a while the news produces a story so magnificently strange that you have to pause and admire the human psyche in its natural habitat. This week’s specimen: Tommy Thompson. A 73-year-old deep-sea treasure hunter who discovered the wreck of the legendary SS Central America a […]
