What are your favorite 5 apps on your phone? Is there such a thing as a favorite app? I suppose there is a difference between favorite and frequently used. Gmail and X are probably my most frequently used apps. Which doesn’t necessarily mean I love them. It may […]
What’s the most annoying trope in books or movies? Gosh. I don’t know. There are so many contenders. But lately, after binge-watching an entirely unreasonable amount of BritBox, I’m noticing a pattern. The female detective who is slightly off. Odd. Socially uncomfortable. Probably lives alone. Sees patterns no […]
What’s something you do completely differently from how you were raised? I’ve been thinking about passion. What are we actually passionate about? A career? A person? A hobby? A cause? And then I started thinking about something else. What have I done that is completely different from how […]

What’s a thing you wish schools actually taught? I sometimes wish schools taught common sense the way they teach calculus. Not just facts, but strategy for living. The kind you usually learn the hard way, mid-conversation, mid-conflict, mid “I should have handled that differently.” One of the best […]
What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received? One of the best pieces of advice I’ve ever received is deceptively simple. Not everything is urgent. It sounds obvious, almost dismissible, until you realize how much of life is designed to feel urgent. Emails marked “ASAP.” Texts that […]
What’s one habit that has improved your life the most? About 20 years ago, I picked up a habit that turned out to be one of the best decisions I ever made. I started exercising every day. Not casually. Not aspirationally. Religiously. Sometimes once a day. Often twice. […]
