What could you do differently? There’s a song that has been on repeat in my mind lately—“Wish I Knew You” by The Revivalists. The melody wraps around me like a warm blanket on a cold January day, but it’s the lyrics that hit me in that sweet spot […]
Think back on your most memorable road trip. Some people collect stamps. Others collect sneakers. Me? I collect cross-country road trips. I’ve done it six times. Six times, driving from one coast to the other, crisscrossing this wild and wonderful country. I’ve even ventured across Canada, which, by […]
F. Scott Fitzgerald once said, “The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposing ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function.” As a psychologist, let me tell you, that quote is the ultimate mic drop for […]
Everyone lives for the weekend. You know, those glorious two days where we’re supposed to kick back, let loose, and forget about the grind. Except… when your body decides to betray you. That’s right, I’m talking about the cruel irony of getting sick on the weekend. This weekend? […]
