“Mental health” has become a buzz term in recent years (especially during the pandemic). The phrase is nearly synonymous with how freely we throw around words like love and friends. Is there a way to determine if all this talk about mental health is addressing real concerns? Or are we riding the latest trendy wave […]
How many of us create a separate workplace persona from our personal persona? Don’t all raise your hands at once. I’ve been there before too. However, I’ve learned that pattern only left me exhausted, bitter and out of touch with the person that matters most: me. Check out the the first episode of season two […]
Today is special not only because it’s just two days before my 37th birthday. February 2nd marks the release of my latest novel, Trigger Pointe. This book is unlike any other novel I’ve ever written (and I promise that’s not slick author persuasive lingo). When you read it for yourself and compare it to my […]
Some of you may remember I launched my own podcast in September of last year. I had an amazing, eye-opening time speaking with various friends about love, relationships, mental health, finances and other ‘triggers’. Your triggers may not be mine and vice versa.

Here we are at the beginning of another new year. I hope you all have had a wonderful holiday season and feel energized to conquer the path ahead! First of all, I apologize for going so long without providing any content on the site. Life and several projects happened, one of which I am excited […]

Why do people insist on pushing people with chill attitudes? If there was ever a walking billboard for “Don’t let the smile fool you”, I would be the advertisement. Even as I’m writing this blog today, I had to professionally (as best as I could) let someone know they were stepping way out of bounds […]
Alright, so it’s not what you think. I’m sure some of you reading this may have a few instances where you wished you pulled out, but we’ll save that for another day. When I mention pulling out figuratively, there are more than a handful of situations where I did the opposite. The older I get, […]
Why are some people uncomfortable with being alone? I’m probably not the best person to answer that question, since I grew up as an only child. I’m used to my oneness and at times, I often prefer it. However, when the pandemic was a few months in full swing, there were moments when I did […]
I admire people who don’t care what people think about them. At times, I am that person. At times, I am the furthest from that mentality.
