Do you have a lot on your plate? Does it ever feel like too much?

If so, you're not alone.

This month just so happens to be Stress Awareness Month, and it couldn't be more timely. I'm hearing that sentiment from so many people, from teens to senior citizens and everyone in between, both in...

I have a confession...and I hope you'll hear me out before you run screaming, appalled, and hit unsubscribe. 

I had an intense urge to kick a dog. 

Let me clear, I didn't do it, but I thought about it. 

I am, admittedly, not a dog person. But I'm not a monster, either. I...

Remember those early days of dating? When you’re fascinated by this new person, soaking up every morsel of new information as you untangle the mystery of who they are? When you excitedly anticipate the next time you’ll get to see them? And just when you thought you had them pegged,...

Whether you're someone who gets swept up in the New Year New Me mentality, sees the turning of the calendar as an opportunity to reflect and realign, or thinks the whole thing is overhyped, growth and change are a part of life.

Imagine that you've planned a beautiful outdoor wedding. You've thoughtfully curated your perfect day, surrounded by your favorite people. On your big day, though, unexpected rain shows up. Is it ruined? 

Or perhaps something a little more mundane. You go to the movies or a concert, and...

Think of it like algorithms that filter available content, distilling everything down to what's available in your news feed on whichever app you're into. Your feed and my...

You've probably heard of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Steven Covey. It's one of the most popular personal development books of all-time, and it has stood up well over the decades since its initial release. One of Covey's recommendations is to write and routinely review your Personal...

"I acquired my disability in 2012," he began. 

I was speaking with Wesley Hamilton, the Executive Director and Founder of the non-profit Disabled But Not Really. I found out about DBNR a couple weeks ago and reached out to explore possibilities for getting involved. Wes and I met by zoom on...
