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.
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 […]
It’s funny how a simple scroll through Facebook can take you down a rabbit hole, tugging at your heartstrings and bringing back bittersweet memories. Today, I stumbled upon an old friend’s page—she’s been gone for five years, but her profile is still there, quietly holding on to fragments […]
First off—I made it! I finally got away on a trip this year, and let me tell you, it was glorious. Barbados greeted me with all the heat my warmth-craving soul could ask for. Bonus: no hurricanes in sight! Typically, I’m the queen of travel snafus, but this […]
Twice this week, I heard Frank Sinatra’s “My Way.” And each time, without fail, I had to stop, sing, and half tear up. This song doesn’t just hit me—it cuts deep into my core. As a New Yorker, especially as a girl who grew up poor in the […]
Today is World Mental Health Awareness Day, and let me just say, it couldn’t come at a better time. Honestly, who else feels like we’re all playing an endless game of “Don’t Drop the Ball”—juggling work, family, and the 12,000 tabs we have open in our minds at […]
What was the hardest personal goal you’ve set for yourself? This past weekend, I had one simple, glorious, all-encompassing goal: to do absolutely nothing. I even made a solemn vow to myself. The plan? Become a blissful couch potato, soak in the rare luxury of boredom, and maybe, […]
Every so often, I come across a news story that makes me pause, scratch my head, and think: “This is why I need another cup of coffee.” This week, it’s all about the curious case of a stolen park bench. Yes, you read that right. A park bench—a […]
What is your favorite hobby or pastime? Little by little, I’ve been leaving my hobbies to the side. I used to write everyday, now I have pockets of time in which I don’t write. I can’t motivate. What I have been doing us watching old television shows and […]
What’s your #1 priority tomorrow? Some people schedule their days to the nanosecond. The calendar app screams with reminders, while to-do lists multiply like bunnies, each item sprouting sub-items that somehow create an endless flow of “must-dos” that all seem to want to be done right now. If […]
