As a kid, my report cards were filled with notes like “Talks too much” and “Needs self-control.” Now? I call it Talkabetes.What used to get me sent to the principal’s office has become my superpower—fueling connection, storytelling, and even my career. In this post, I’m sharing how I turned a lifelong “flaw” into a calling, why our voices matter more than ever, and how humor, honesty, and heart can light the way forward.

Ever feel like you’re doing it all—and still falling short? Same. I used to believe that hustle meant success, whether I was hosting a holiday meal or building my business. But here’s what I’ve learned: sometimes the most productive thing you can do is let go. In this post, I’m sharing the freedom I found in ditching perfection, delegating like a pro, and saying yes to peace over pressure (and yes, takeout counts). If you need permission to release the overwhelm—this one’s for you.

If you’ve ever faced the unknown, this one’s for you.
