  • 🩋The Year of the Quiet Pause

    For me, this year is not about becoming someone new. It’s about becoming more myself. After a year of growth, expansion, learning, building, and beautiful momentum, I felt a very different pull as the New Year arrived. Not toward more, towards enough. Not toward urgency, towards alignment. Not toward noise, towards a quiet, grounded clarity…

  • 🌿Peace as the Baseline: Coming Home to Yourself

    This week, a line from one of my recent speeches kept echoing in my mind: “Peace stopped being a vacation

    Honoring 16 Years of Survivorship — and the Evolution of Why I Keep Going This month marks 16 years since I heard the words “You have ovarian cancer.” At the time, my children were just 7 and 12.

  • The Power of Choice

    Doing What’s Right vs. What’s Allowed Sometimes in life, just because you have the right to do something doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the right thing to do. We live in a world where we are granted personal freedoms and autonomy over our choices. Yet, with great freedom comes great responsibility. The question isn’t always “Can…

  • Don’t Make Assumptions: Embracing Intentionality

    The third principle of The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz—Don’t Make Assumptions—aligns powerfully with my core value of intentionality.

Living intentionally means fostering clarity, curiosity, and thoughtful communication instead of operating on unspoken or inaccurate beliefs. The Cost of…
