Lately, the term “doom spending” has been making the rounds, and I have to admit, I’ve been feeling a little called out. People are out there splurging on random things, all while worrying about the state of the world. Me? I haven’t been doing the doom scroll on […]
They say laughter is the best medicine, but I’m not sure they meant it as a remedy for the kind of exhaustion that makes you fall asleep on the couch at 6 p.m., stumble to bed at 2 a.m., and then rise at 5 a.m. as if you […]
There’s a certain charm in living through weird times, isn’t there? I mean, when the headlines scream doom and gloom at every turn, and you’re stuck trying to remember if you locked the door before the apocalypse hit, who wouldn’t want a little distraction? Luckily, in the same […]
Friday night. Some people crave the scene, the neon lights, the excitement of city streets. Me? I’m perfectly content with a random playlist, a comfy couch, and zero grand plans. Because here’s the thing: there’s a thrill in the ordinary if you know where to look. Sure, I […]
Ah, Halloween—a holiday where quirkiness is currency, and you’re encouraged to be both bold and bizarre. So, naturally, I suited up for work today as a “good witch,” complete with a purple costume and a grin as wide as a jack-o’-lantern’s. If you haven’t done a Zoom call […]

This morning, as I watched the leaves fall in my backyard, I was hit with a familiar feeling—the quiet passing of time. It’s funny how the changing of the seasons always brings that reminder, as if nature is nudging us to pause and take stock. Just this week, […]
It’s been a few days since I last sat down to write. My grand intention was to craft something thoughtful and profound, but instead, I’ve been falling asleep way too early, face down on my couch, remote in hand. Honestly, I can’t tell if it’s from exhaustion or […]
It’s Friday night, and instead of hitting the town, I’m hitting the couch with Netflix and a snack that probably isn’t part of any wellness plan I endorse. As a psychologist, I can’t help but wonder—what does my viewing history say about me? Sure, I’ll start with a […]
What could you try for the first time? I recently stumbled upon this little gem called the “three-minute rule,” and I thought, “Why not give it a try?” With my chaotic work-life—hundreds of employees, endless emails, and let’s not forget the home front, featuring my three wonderfully nutty […]
