There’s a certain giddiness that comes with making it to Friday. The light at the end of the workweek tunnel, right? You’ve survived the chaos, outmaneuvered the email avalanche, and maybe even remembered to eat lunch once or twice. But just when I’m ready to claim victory over […]
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 […]
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 snack would you eat right now? There are days when your snack of choice is chips, cookies, or whatever you can grab without breaking a sweat. Then there are days when your snack of choice is… soup. Yeah, you read that right. Today’s menu is all about […]

I’m not just talking about a little raspy whisper—I mean full-on, out-of-commission, barely-able-to-mutter-a-word laryngitis. As someone who tends to speak her mind (okay, maybe a little too much), being […]
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 […]
Ah, Valentine’s Day—coming at us in full force right after we barely recover from the holiday madness. Today, as I trudged through a dreary Monday morning, still grappling with the fog of a full work week ahead, I walked past a vivid display of chocolates, teddy bears, and […]
Sitting in a vat of trauma, I soak in memories etched deep, The echoes of a thousand cries, Breaking through the walls of sleep. Walking in the footsteps of pain, Each step heavier than the last, The path is worn, the ground is hard, By the burdens of […]
2025. Doesn’t it just look pretty? I can’t help but appreciate its visual charm—there’s something about those curves and symmetry that feels… promising. It’s a year that flows, unlike 2024, which was stark, all straight lines and sharp angles. No, 2025 feels softer, more refined, like a script […]
