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.
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 […]
There are two types of hoarding in today’s world: the stuff that clutters your living room, and the kind that clogs up your phone with 32,000 emails and 10,000 photos you’ll never actually print. And here I am, guilty as charged, digitally hoarding to a level that would […]
Sometimes, I just need to tune out the usual chaos and dive into the bizarre corners of the news. Forget politics—this week’s headlines were a treasure trove of pure weirdness, and honestly, I couldn’t have asked for better distractions. Let’s start with the family in Australia who woke […]
What part of your routine do you always try to skip if you can? Let’s talk about routines. You know, those pesky little things we all roll our eyes at, but deep down, we know we need. My dogs are experts at routines—they expect their walks at the […]
What podcasts are you listening to? Let me just put this out there: I don’t listen to podcasts. Nope. Nada. Not even when the universe nudges me with “Oh, you have to hear this one!” Do I? Really? Look, I’m in meetings all day long—work, Zoom, the “let’s […]
What is good about having a pet? Sometimes I sit back and think, “Why do I have three dogs?” It’s a fair question when you consider the endless walks, the constant demand for belly rubs, and their uncanny ability to destroy a brand-new pillow in 30 seconds flat. […]
Lately, the term “doom spending” has been making the rounds, and I have to admit, I’ve been feeling a little called out. People are out there splurging on random things, all while worrying about the state of the world. Me? I haven’t been doing the doom scroll on […]
They say laughter is the best medicine, but I’m not sure they meant it as a remedy for the kind of exhaustion that makes you fall asleep on the couch at 6 p.m., stumble to bed at 2 a.m., and then rise at 5 a.m. as if you […]
There’s a certain charm in living through weird times, isn’t there? I mean, when the headlines scream doom and gloom at every turn, and you’re stuck trying to remember if you locked the door before the apocalypse hit, who wouldn’t want a little distraction? Luckily, in the same […]
Invent a holiday! Explain how and why everyone should celebrate. Holidays. They’ve pretty much all been taken, right? National Dog Day, Mojito Day… you name it, there’s an “observance” for it. Even Chrismukkah is already a thing (and yes, I proudly celebrate it). But the other day, I […]
