Recently, I had the honor of writing an article for the website As Told By Women. Their mission is to inspire and empower women everywhere by sharing stories of resiliency. When they reached out and asked if I’d be willing to share my story of living with chronic illness, I said yes immediately. If you […]
I feel like I’m in the weird, middle-of-the-road section of the dating pool. I’m not some stunning woman with an enviable body. I don’t have a million Instagram followers or strangers sliding into my DMs. I don’t go to bars and have men clamoring to buy me drinks. But, I also feel like I’m pretty […]
Type 1 Diabetes is exhausting. It’s tiring enough being a human in general, but having to take on the role of an organ tends to complicate things. As I type this, my eyes are puffy from a night of barely any sleep thanks to a blood sugar rollercoaster. I’ve always been very open about my […]
I love yoga. I also love wine. So when I learned I could combine the two, I was sold. Drunk Yoga is a company that hosts—you guessed it—drunk yoga classes. So what does that mean exactly? Each class starts with a happy hour where you can enjoy a glass or two of wine while you […]
From the time we’re little kids joining our first sports teams, we’re taught that “quitting” is a bad word. This is reiterated throughout our lives. If you stop playing soccer, you’re a quitter.

Heartbreak sucks, obviously. The name alone describes an injury to our most important organ. And it doesn’t just describe pain from the end of a romantic relationship. It can mean the dissolution of a friendship, an estrangement from a relative, the loss of a job, the diagnosis of an illness…the list could go on forever. […]
Much to the surprise of my loved ones, and myself, I think I kind of like exercise. I can’t believe I just said that. Note that I didn’t say “love,” because I still prefer my marathons to take place via Netflix on my couch. But I have to admit that regular exercise has made me feel […]
We’ve all been there. You desperately want to text your ex or your crush or whoever it is that you really shouldn’t be texting. It may sound petty, but you want to stand your ground for whatever reason. Maybe you’re the one that always initiates things and you want him or her to step it up. Maybe […]
Really hope you guys got that Mean Girls reference. Anyway… It’s pretty obvious that I love to write. That’s why I started this blog, after all, and it’s what I do for a living, too! While I spend most of my day in front of a computer screen, I love getting my hands on a […]
