Last week I wrote about putting myself on a pedestal to counteract my feelings of inadequacy. I shared that my magic trick, which isn't magic at all, is the willingness to be myself when I think I'm not going to fit in, be liked, or judged. You can read it here.

For years, I've been sharing my struggles and vulnerably walking you through the lessons and tools to help make our lives better.
Â
I've been shying away from telling you how great my life really is.
Â
That's because I'm only just understanding both the depth of my struggles and the possibil...
Two years ago TODAY I stumbled upon the sweetest little surprise.

Do you ever walk away from a conversation or meeting thinking, "What the hell is the matter with me? Why on earth did I say that?"
Â
The thought plagues you, churning away like it's ground hog day. You've got pressure in your chest and you start to sweat the moment you remember the words as the...
Â
We've all been there. Change is in the air and you're hoping it slides right on by and somehow forgets its plan for you so you don't have to deal with that big knot in your stomach.
Â
Gosh darn it change. Again, really?, you think to yourself.

Whether it's knowing you need to get out of you...

"I don't know what I think about the patriarchy. I want to discuss it with you," I said to my friend last week.
Â
While I agree that our system is broken and outdated in some areas - no standard, paid parental leave, expensive childcare, wage inequity - I also don't want to rail against a syste...

My kid isn't my life.
Â
My husband isn't my life.
Â
They can't be. They're not supposed to be.
Â
Let's be honest, when you're alone, and I'm not just talking about when you do a Target run and you're in heaven that nobody's bugging you, do you feel a bit anxious because you don't know what ...

Oh my god, do I feel mature!

I am a "let's g...
"The most loving person is the person that is self-centered." Neale Donald Walsch writes this in his book, Conversations with God, and I completely agree.
