I woke up this morning feeling really good about the happenings of the day. Thursdays are my day. My husband works remotely and "gives me the day off" to spend time doing whatever I so please. I usually end up at the beach for a couple of hours and then a coffee shop t...

I recently turned 35, and it felt like a really significant milestone in my life, although age is just a number to be true. 35 just feels like an internal alarm to wake up and be more intentional. Wake up and really carpe freakin diem, you know? I'm not sure what age y...

It’s been three months since I packed what seemed like a million boxes and paid movers to load up a trailer, so I could move my life fifteen hundred miles away from my home of 33 years.  When it’s put that way, three months seems like no time at all. Feels like just ye...

Over the past several months, I have tried and failed and then tried again and failed again

I understand.

Let’s go for it together.

Here are some key things to consider as you write your vision and dreams for 2018:

1. What do you really want?

In general, how do you see your life...

“What are you so anxious about?” Dr. Rad often asks me. And “What are you striving so hard for?” my Houston based therapist, Dr. Daryl Bailey, likes to challenge. 

“I don’t know…” is my honest answer.  I think the unknowns in life just sometimes get the best of me. I am...

This past spring/early summer, I received an email from a producer on The Voice.

Yes, for real. 

She invited me to their private auditions in a nearby city.  I was in total disbelief at first, and so were all the people I called screaming through the phone, “GUESS WHAT...

Self-love is beautiful to find. I discovered it only after heartbreak on heartbreak, but that’s okay. Eventually, I recognized the need for it, and I dedicated time to growing love within and for myself.  I learned that I am the whole. I am not the half. I am not made...
