Here’s a round-up of everything I wrote and shared with you in 2024—from navigating hard times to embracing creative play; from big dreams to rage journaling. I’m proud of it, and it’s the perfect amount.

The miraculous thing that happened when I was 20 minutes late to my massage. (And that time I ditched my five-year plan).

Repressed emotions can weigh us down, fester into resentment, and cause chronic pain and anxiety. In this post, I teach one of my favorite and most life-changing tools: rage journaling.

When you’re having a hard time, life doesn’t stop to wait for you. This is very unfair. BUT…here’s a practical technique for juggling life when you’re stressed and exhausted.

It’s appropriate to be tired right now. We’re all dealing with compound stressors (collective, personal, and daily stress), and it’s zapping our capacity. I’m offering a class to help.

For months and years to come, Asheville will need massive support to recover from Hurricane Helene. This post includes my curated suggestions for where to donate, as well as my list of Asheville businesses, makers, artists, and healers to consider supporting with your holiday shopping.

Asheville is my soul-home and favorite place in the world. Two weeks ago, it was utterly devastated by Hurricane Helene. I am devastated. This is my Asheville love story.

If deadlines and plans are becoming a source of shame, punishment, failure, there's a better way to take action. I share strategies for people who have trouble slowing down and people who have trouble getting going.

Why do we keep setting deadlines for ourselves? They make us feel inadequate, stressed out, and rushed in a world that already moves way too fast. Let's top micro-managing our lives.

My mom and aunt join me to answer a reader question about getting out of your head and into the joy of creative play! Suze Corte and Nancy Waldman are sisters, lifelong artists, and my personal creativity partners and mentors. Audio conversation.

A few things to consider if you’re unhappy in your job and contemplating quitting.

I share my story of quitting a new job after six months. I used to think it was a weakness when my body fell apart in stressful situations, but it often means I’m in the wrong place.

Are you having trouble recovering from something intense? It’s not realistic to bounce back immediately—especially for those of us with big hearts and sensitive systems. No matter what we need or how long it takes to heal, compassion is key.

Each of us has a toolkit of supportive things we turn to during hard times. As you navigate the highs and lows of life, try new tools and ask these questions before you add them to your kit.

Ten things every dream needs to come true + reflection prompts for taking the first step. How is your dream asking you to show up?

If we don’t dream big, and if we don’t act on our dreams, we’ll never create a new world. And we'll miss out on who we become as we walk towards a braver, bolder vision for our lives.

Life is much too short to always feel rushed. Wasting time can be a beautiful practice that helps us unhook from hustle and reconnect with the joy of our humanity.

A fun list of things to enhance coziness. From body oil to books to my signature oatmeal recipe, I’m excited to share some of my favorite creature comforts with you.

Learn why coziness activates our ventral vagal state to help us feel warm, connected, regulated, content, and safe. Coziness isn’t just for fun—it helps alieviate stress and anxiety.

When we choose one path, we snuff out other possibilities. But we can’t be paralyzed by all the enticing options. There’s great freedom in choosing a singular focus.
