Listen: Stop should-ing your life away
When faced with a difficult decision, we go straight to asking ourselves and others, "What should I do?" Well, I'm here to say, who cares what you should do, what do you want to do? What would make you the happiest? Let's do that. We can get so caught up in the shoulds – I…
Listen: Perception is reality
How many of you have ever had a entire conversation with someone without realizing you were talking about two different things?

What the 2020?
I definitely think 2020’s reputation precedes it at this point in the year. If bad things are supposed to come in threes, someone must explain to me how we’ve accumulated 798 of them since just mid-March. And yet, somehow we’ve miraculously made it what, in my humble opinion, is the best part of the year…the…
What Elsa and Anna taught me about life
