Lately, I’ve been staring at the universe the way some people stare into the fridge at midnight. I’ve been hoping something magnificent will reveal itself and explain my life choices. And honestly? The universe has been delivering. Big time. The other day I was obsessed with tryptophan from […]
Share a lesson you wish you had learned earlier in life. I didn’t really watch the Emmys this year. To be fair, I had it on. The screen was glowing, the speeches were droning, and I was half-scrolling, half-snacking, and fully not invested. But for once in a […]
Some people consult vision boards. Others call mentors. Me? I pitch my ideas to the dogs. It’s a sacred ritual. I pace the room, rambling some grand scheme or mildly delusional plan, and there they are—my panel of furry consultants. Middle dog, the unbothered philosopher, barely lifts his […]
