They just taught my kids what backhanded compliments mean… and now I can’t unsee them 😅 My daughter came home talking about how people sometimes say nice things that don’t really sound nice. The example she gave: “You speak so well, I’m so impressed. Oh, I see you were born in the U.S.” 😩 So, […]
For years, my default in friendships was silence. If I felt unseen, I would retreat without confrontation. But I’ve learned something powerful: silence can destroy what honesty might save. Recently, I spoke openly with a friend I love. Instead of cutting her off, I told her my heart. She shared her struggles, and suddenly, the […]
Many of us wrestle with execution paralysis, the space between dreaming and doing. Fear steps in with its questions: Am I ready? What if I fail?

This summer, I poured myself out for my girls, camps, swimming lessons, playdates, even a sleepover. I was happy to do it. I felt like a cup filled with joy, knowing I had made it all happen for them. But then one afternoon, less than 10 minutes after a playdate at the park, my daughter […]
There’s a version of me I want to rise into, the woman God created me to be. She’s disciplined, grounded, clear-eyed, faithful. I know she’s real. I know I can become her. But some nights, she feels so far away. I’m in bed scrolling endlessly, my kids are bickering in the background, and I don’t […]
I will never learn how to ride a bike, that was the word i heard my baby say and before i could respond my husband had told her not to speak that way. I will never make it as a content creator, I will never lose weight, i will never get a 6 figure job […]
