It turns out that I may be living a lie. I may have been doing this whole life thing backwards.  I was pointed towards a very cool resource this weekend from one of our amazing Inner Circle women at our retreat in Rancho Palos Verdes this week that has completely shifted (and quite frankly, slapped […]

Sports hate has always been something really tricky for me to navigate. I don’t know what it is, it’s just a little bit of a mental battle that I continually know I need to work on. I think it’s probably natural if you’re a sports fan. I’m certainly not the only one. And I’ve gotten […]

It’s something I hear on an unfortunately regular basis. I don’t know if it’s just the empathy I have that stems from years of customer service experience or just the fact that I’m apparently just an abnormally patient person. Maybe both. But it can’t just be a coincidence that I hear this from a variety […]

I get it. Starting a new year (and especially in this case, with the beginning of a new decade) can mean that we get to give ourselves a new introduction into who we get to choose to be for this upcoming year. It’s a chance for rebirth and reevaluation.  And I love starting the year […]

A word that has a tendency to bear with it all sorts of woo-woo biases. It’s an idea – or a way of life in some communities – that either carries a backing of extremely loyal followers or a vast crowd of skeptics.  I, for one, easily fall into the former. Since being introduced many […]

“Duh” would easily be an understatement of the year if I were to say something like, “We all see the world in different terms. Our trials, our successes, our experiences vary drastically from one to another.”  Duh.  Because of course we’re all going to be completely different because we’ve all grown up in different circumstances, […]

I was fortunate enough to be raised by parents that are incredibly kind, loving and generous. Needless to say, I’m pretty confident that a lot of that rubbed off on me growing up as well. But with that, the tendency to be willing to bend over backwards in order to please everyone around me also […]

Ok… this is really hard for me but it’s probably about time that I come out and confess something. If you know me well, you may have guessed it, though I’ve never actually said it out loud. I’m not proud of it but I can deny it no longer. I’m a hoarder. I like… stuff. […]

I’d say that on average, on about 95% of my mornings I wake up ready and amped to see what the world holds for me. Now, that’s not to say that I always leap right out of bed immediately when my alarm goes off. I’m not a morning person – I never have been. But […]

Those damn Avengers movies. I’ve never been much of a comic book fanatic, but I absolutely eat these movies up. They’re entertaining as hell, funny, rewatchable and…. inspiring? I was watching Avengers: Endgame on the airplane the other day for the first time since I’d seen it in theaters right after it came out. There’s […]
