It’s not something I am really proud of admitting, but I’m a recovering perfectionist and people pleaser. When it comes to the creative process, those two qualities can kill my creative dreams. A dream can’t survive if you are constantly second guessing yourself, trying to edit your writing even before your story is complete, or … Continue reading
Confession: I’m a runner. Even when I’m not officially training for a race, somehow I find myself lacing up my shoes and going on runs. I enjoy running so much I’ll even travel out of town (even out of the country) for races. While other travelers probably just wanna chill, enjoy drinks on the beach and explore … Continue reading

It’s one thing to stand behind the achievements you created for a company or for other people, but to me, it’s a whole other thing to celebrate the victories in … Continue reading
I’ll be honest. One of the recurring challenges in my life has been appreciating my own worth, power, and beauty. I know that logically that it is rooted in my ability (or inability) to love myself completely and unapologetically. If I really sat down with this discomfort and asked myself, “Do you really love yourself?” On a … Continue reading
Some of my most favorite memories in Guatemala happened at Lago Atitlan. The lake is about 2.5 hours away by shuttle from Antigua and can be a very windy route if you’re not used to curvy highways.
