We've all been there. There's that one Barbie on Instagram you just can't seem to unfollow even though you're secretly super annoyed by how Pinterest-worthy their life looks. Or there's that friend of a friend who's husband actually might be Mr.Perfect and you find yourself somewhere between barfing and bawling every time you leave their dinner party *cue self-pity, Rom-Coms and a pint of ice cream for dessert* And what about that girl from high school who's parents always paid for everything...

Hey Reader Have you ever felt like you were stuck in a sort of limbo or personal purgatory in your life? Like you can see the gold at the end of the rainbow, but you can't quite reach it yet? This could be anything from an overdue vacation you're eagerly awaiting to a big life change like a career shift or a new baby. Or maybe it's a version of yourself that you're working towards, but the lifestyle changes aren't sticking and you're exhausted from fighting against ingrained beliefs....

Hey Reader Are you super over this whole self-care movement? Maybe you're a mom like me and you simply don't have the luxury to book a monthly massage or bi-weekly facial. (Or like, sleep.) Or perhaps you're scrambling just to fill the fridge on a regular basis so the budget just doesn't allow for bougie hair care or a cabinet of holistic remedies. But, does self-care only include those things? I saw a post recently that really sparked my curiosity around this whole idea: Where mothers...

Hey, Reader I wanna share a story with you about a bar fight. I know, I know. Doesn't sound very on brand, right? But, you know me & my love for finding the gold in everything! ;-P Before I was ever a mother myself, I felt for the first time what it feels like to harness big mama bear energy. It was at a live music bar in a blue collar neighborhood where I found myself on a scattered dance floor with my hand clenched around the jowls of some random Eminem look-alike. Needless to say, we had...

Hey friend! I’ve been thinking a lot lately about what it means to be authentic. It seems like everywhere I look someone is riffing on the importance of being true to you. Your highest self, most authentic self, magnetic self… I even heard the term full-spectrum self on a fave podcast this weekend (which, naturally, I love as a hemp wellness advocate!) But what does it really mean to embrace & embody this elusive, pure essence of self? Better yet, how do you even know who that really is?! I...

Let's be honest, Reader, Life would be easier if things were just black & white, am I right? Like, can we PLEASE just get a handbook for this adulting thing?! Alas, no such luck. This journey is a bit...nuanced. I dont know about you, but I really struggle with the grey areas. Things would be so much simpler if there were only two options: wrong or right. (Anyone else just have flashbacks to filling in bubbles with a no.2 pencil? LOL) I wish it wasn't so, but life is not a multiple choice...
