When Our Kids Grow Up and Leave the Nest
My oldest daughter turned eighteen this past weekend. Adult(ish). To say that I’m a jumble of emotions would be the understatement of the year.
How I Managed Major Anxiety on My Roadtrip
Armed with face masks, gloves, plastic face shields and tons of hand sanitizer, I’ve spent the past nine days road tripping from Florida to Washington DC with my oldest daughter.
Building Resilience as a Family
“Don’t you feel completely out of place here?” my husband asked me last night, referring to our prolonged stay in an Airbnb in Southwestern Florida.
What I Do When I’m Triggered
It’s so easy to get triggered these days, no matter how much healing work you’ve done.
I’m Uncomfortable with My Privilege
I’ve been feeling a nagging sensation in the pit of my stomach lately, which I recognize as shame.

Sometimes the most courageous act is to let everything fall apart so you can decide which pieces you want to pick up again and which you want to leave behind or even sweep up and throw in the garbage.
How to Transform the Seeds of Anger Inside Us

I often feel humbled lately as I see clearly all the ways in which I still need to heal and grow.
