    I Am Mom

    / 1 Comment

    Navigating the uncharted waters of new motherhood is like surviving one wave just as another more monstrous one crashes down. You discover a new soothing technique, and feel a tinge of pride like you were the first parent ever to figure out this clever trick, only to wake up the next day to find it’s no longer relevant. Suddenly you’re back to fighting to keep your head above water. Motherhood is exhausting, mentally and physically (and I’m only dealing with one baby and just getting started!), but it’s also rewarding in ways I didn’t know were possible. What I’ve learned in my first eight weeks of motherhood is that you…

    2020 Vision: A Pregnancy, Pandemic, Quarantine Wedding, and Cancer Diagnosis

    / No Comments

    2020 started better than most years. In a span of days, my job sent me to my first Sundance Film Festival and to The Grammys. But the morning I flew home for the awards, Kobe Bryant, along with his daughter and seven others, were also in the air. Looking back now, those few days foreshadowed what 2020 had in store – promise and pain – a year of growth. A few weeks later, I celebrated my thirty-third birthday. I assumed the double threes were auspicious. After all, my writing career was on the rise. I would be reporting at my first SXSW, and I had recently finished my first novel.…

    How To Start Your Meditation Practice

    / No Comments

    No matter who you are, where you live, or your financial status, meditation is an option for you. If you feel stress, discomfort, or anxiety in your daily life, then it’s an option you should strongly consider. If you don’t face any of those issues, then CONGRATULATIONS, please tell me your secret! Still, that doesn’t mean meditation isn’t for you. Meditation takes you on a spiritual journey, allowing you to know yourself on a deeper, more spiritual level. The point is, meditation can be for everyone.  Meditation is used in fortune 500 companies, branches of the military, and it’s taught in many schools as a method to educate children on…

    Life Lessons At Thirty-Two

    / No Comments

    Thirty-two was my favorite year yet. I was bolder, brighter, and more a citizen of the world. I moved from one metropolis to a sunnier one. The biggest difference about thirty-two was that I was more myself than I’d ever been before. Hopefully, that tradition carries on and I continue to learn and grow with each passing year. Perhaps my metamorphosis was because I was on the other side of the country from most of my friends and had more free time. Or maybe I was inspired by the California vibe. The way I see it, at thirty-two, aside from my zip code there were two major changes in my…

    How A Full-Body YES Led Me To My First Triathlon

    / No Comments

    Have you ever had a full-body YES? You know those moments when without giving your brain time to process, your entire body shrieks, YES! I’ve had a few and I’ve tried paying more attention when my body has that reaction. When every piece of our being says, YES! It seems like we should listen. In fact, we should lean into those moments purely in spite of the vulnerability that ‘YES’ may bring. It was one of those full-body yeses that led me to sign up for my first triathlon. A neighbor mentioned their upcoming triathlon and I shouted from my heart, I want to do that! A few weeks later,…
