I knew I needed to trust myself more, and I wanted a simple place to begin. I wrote this book as my first step toward becoming a wiser, more grounded version of myself. With the tools I had, I created an 8-week guidebook to help others take that same first step—because the first step is often the hardest.

Growth doesn’t come from having all the answers, but from being willing to pause, reflect, and begin again.

Outside of writing, I find grounding in movement and nature—skiing in Colorado, learning how to play tennis, and spending time outdoors whenever I can. Some of my favorite moments are the simplest ones: being with my partner, our two black labs, and the friends who remind me to laugh, slow down, and stay present. These everyday experiences keep me connected to what matters most and continue to shape how I show up in my life and work.
