I had been talking about starting my own podcast for a while, and I finally did it! It took several friends and colleagues asking, “what do you have to lose?” to inspire me to get my act together and go for it. They were right; the worst that could happen would be that my podcast…
Over my adult life, and in particular the last two-plus years, I have been working to “green “my lifestyle. I have begun transitioning to more clean beauty brands, I’ve used more sustainable cleaning products at home, and I’ve worked to reduce my consumption of energy while increasing my recycling and composting efforts. Many of my…

Week 2 of social distancing has had its challenges, but I learned a lot from Week 1 and set goals to manage my sanity moving forward. Week 1 was hard y’all, and learning that I would have to telework for at least another month sent a chill down my spine. I knew I had to…
Earlier this month, I completed my first 7-day armpit detox. Believe it or not, I learned a lot after doing this detox! Overall, I really enjoyed it.

:: In my Ice Cube voice :: Today was a good day. While I didn’t do most of the things I planned to do today (my sincerest apologies, yesterday), I did manage to get some serious cycling in – I biked just over 18 miles today! As I lay here, struggling to keep my eyes open,…
It’s Day 2 of our statewide quarantine, and I’m doing a little better with combating monotony. I got in a bit of exercise today, got some fresh air, and took a few work phone calls. Was my day exciting? Absolutely not. Was it more interesting than yesterday? Totally! I started out the day with some…
Today was the first day that I was required to telework and break from my regular routine. I’m such an extrovert, and I’m always on the go, so staying put in my apartment was not ideal. Nonetheless, I completely understand why! Most of my day was filled with me sitting at my laptop and working….
