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 […]
What is your mission? I’ve written about my mission in life before—community-focused, integrity-driven, with the steady goal of doing right by those who need it most. Guess what? That mission remains unchanged. But, let’s just say the mission file is now a bit more battered, with coffee stains […]
What could you do less of? There are a few things I should do less of in life—like eating gummies when I’m supposed to be winding down or starting a new streaming show at midnight (who really needs sleep, right?). But another thing I’ve realized? I need to […]

I don’t know about you, but I love when life sends me little messages in unexpected places. Today, during my not-quite-winter cleaning (because, let’s be real, seasons are just guidelines), I found an old purse I hadn’t touched in ages. Buried within its forgotten pockets was a wrinkled […]
What’s the biggest risk you’d like to take — but haven’t been able to? For years, I’ve toyed with the idea of taking that big leap—starting my own business or writing a book (or two). I’ve got business names scribbled down, websites reserved, and rough business plans saved […]
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 […]
