Aging Gracefully
I sit down with my older sister, Wendy, to talk about aging gracefully in this crazy, chaotic, and often perfection-focused world. In this episode, we talk about hacks for being active and healthy as we enter the second half of our lives (and some of the fads we used back in the 90's!) My book, Living in the Gray gathers 10 years of writing about living inside life’s paradoxes — the both/and moments that shape who we become. It’s a deeper look at the questions behind these conversations.

God's Plan
Last episode of Season 1 and I explore why I find so much peace leaning into God's plan. I discuss the power of rejection, my own worthiness and why life doesn't happen to us but for us.

Kindness
In this episode, I eat a ton of mini Cadbury eggs early in the morning, before drinking my first cup of coffee and I break down why kindness matters, why meditation helps me with the anxiety train, and why grace is important in remembering that we all struggle.

Do the thing
Failure is part of life and it's time we embrace it.

Who am I?
What happens when you near the end of life? What questions do you find yourself asking. This is what I'm leaning into today and it comes on the heels of James Van Der Beek's death who died of colorectal cancer in February 2026. In the last video before he died, he shares the question he has been asking himself, "Who am I? What am I?" In the video he said, "I am worthy of God's life simply because I exist and if I'm worthy of God's love, shouldn't I be worthy of my own? And the same is true is for you."
