Why Measuring Your Success Against Someone Else’s Highlight Reel Is the Fastest Way to Go Broke I want to talk about something that nobody in the business world really wants to admit out loud. We compare ourselves constantly, and it is quietly draining our bank accounts, sabotaging our careers, and keeping us stuck in financial […]
Perspectives for the Modern Woman
Real talk on love, life, career, wellness & becoming who you're meant to be
The Relationship Comparison Trap Nobody Talks About You know that feeling. You’re scrolling through Instagram and suddenly your perfectly good Tuesday evening with your partner feels… lacking. There’s your college roommate posting anniversary photos from Santorini. Your coworker just got a proposal that looks like it was choreographed by a film director. Your cousin’s boyfriend […]
The Comparison Trap Nobody Talks About We talk a lot about comparison when it comes to careers, bodies, and social media feeds. But there is a quieter, more painful version of the comparison game that plays out behind closed doors, in our most intimate moments, and it is stealing something precious from us: our ability […]
The Goal You Never Set: Surviving Under the Same Roof There is a version of your life where you are laser focused on what matters to you. You are waking up with intention, building something meaningful, chasing the goals that keep you up at night in the best possible way. You are clear, driven, and […]
The reality nobody talks about at family dinner Here’s a situation that’s becoming more common than most people realize: you and your partner have called it quits, but for financial or logistical reasons, you’re still sharing the same roof. And while that’s hard enough on its own, there’s a whole other layer to it that […]
The intimacy hangover nobody talks about Let’s talk about something that doesn’t get nearly enough airtime: what happens to your body, your desire, and your sense of sexual self when you’re still living with someone you used to be intimate with. Not just sharing a lease, but sharing the space where you once shared everything. […]
The Financial Rock Bottom Nobody Talks About Being flat broke, with lint in my pockets and a negative bank balance, while staring down the reality of raising two boys alone was never my actual financial downfall, love. I know that sounds counterintuitive. How could being penniless not be the crisis? But hear me out. The […]
The Collapse Was Never Just Emotional I want to get real with you for a moment. When people talk about hitting rock bottom, they usually describe the external stuff: the empty bank account, the failed relationship, the moment everything falls apart in ways other people can see. But what I have learned, through years of […]
The People Around Me Saw What I Couldn’t When my life fell apart, I thought the hardest part would be the empty bank account or the terrifying reality of raising two boys on my own. But honestly? The real collapse had nothing to do with money. It had everything to do with the relationships I […]
The Breakup Wasn’t What Broke Me Let me tell you something that took me years to understand, lovely. When my marriage fell apart and I found myself staring down the reality of starting over as a single mother of two boys, everyone assumed that was my lowest point. The paperwork, the division of assets (or […]
The Collapse Nobody Talks About When my marriage was falling apart, people assumed the intimacy died in the bedroom first. They pictured cold shoulders under shared sheets, two bodies turning away from each other in the dark. And yes, that happened. But honestly? That was just the visible symptom of something much deeper. The real […]
The Trip That Changed How I Think About Money (And Why Transformative Travel Is a Business Strategy)
I was standing in the ruins of an ancient abbey on the Irish coast, completely disconnected from my inbox for the first time in years, when it hit me: I had been building a career, not a life. And the distinction between those two things was costing me more than I realized. Back in 2011, […]
