I love to travel, try new foods, ingest caffeine, and watch political news coverage. A psychologist by training trying to bring a little common sense to it all.
Name your top three pet peeves. Over the years, I’ve shared many tales of woe, laughter, and eye-roll-worthy moments on my blog. And with a decade of reflecting on life’s quirks, certain pet peeves have managed to stay front and center. So without further ado, let’s dive into […]
Ever had one of those days where something just feels… off? Like maybe, just maybe, there’s a glitch in the matrix? I’m not talking about seeing black cats cross your path twice (although that would be pretty nerve-wracking). I’m talking about those tiny, weird moments where life seems […]
What’s your favorite month of the year? Why? January used to be one of my favored months. It held the promise of new beginnings, fresh starts, and the excitement of a year brimming with possibility. There was something about the crisp, cold air and the blank slate of […]
