Have you ever been sick of yourself?

Like, everything is shitty and if you could just clear the decks and start over, you’d get it right this time?

I’ve tried this. Done it with jobs. Food. Exercise.

Some people do it with social circles or friend groups....

This is ridiculous, but one of my favorite ways to waste time is to PLAN.

I love sticking my nose in my phone’s calendar to plan future outings, dates, experiences.

Often I don’t actually HAVE the dates, experiences, or outings I desire because I waste so...

I’m guilty of overstuffing my brain. I’m kind of addicted to it.

I lerrrrve online courses! And when I’m listening to podcasts or reading books, I don’t feel like I’m wasting time.

I feel like a student – and a good student this...

Back in the olden days of 1980-something, my dad complained the thousands of decisions he’d make each day at work.

I was doing something I’d never done before. We had 9,000 square feet of wide open space in our fitness studio, and I was dancing. 

It was the first time in two years that I felt free enough to do anything like this. I’d put down my work, cranked up...

When I was little, I had a massive girl-crush on my Auntie Sue. She told me she’d rather have a messy home & a happy family. Huh?

Our house was always spotless. Four kids. Two adults. One dog. One guinea pig. One bathroom.

You want something. I just know it. You’ve been…

• trying to lose weight for years now.
• saying you want to be a more present parent.
• fantasizing about a different career.

Then, suddenly, BAM! You find yourself...

My hubs was stressed out. Withdrawn & crabby isn’t his usual state, so I knew it was my job to fix it & bring him back to normal.

In my childhood, my mom was often in the same kind of mood. It looked different on her, but when she was angry, irritated,...

Nothing good happens at 4:30am, right?
