Thanksgiving shoutout to the planners and those who brine, you are unsung heroes. Stories that got me through this week:

Shaboozy : Good News

We have all made mistakes. I am grateful for three things: your ability to face hard stuff, the joy you will have when you do, and the positive impact it will have on the world. I share thoughts on how ghosting is like not checking your bank balance and how to find your band of misfits by disrupting patterns of avoidance.

The life raft that got me through the grim, and the experience that sparked me finding my voice that a “ghosting” muted. Meet my friend Josh and hear about the road to our sweaty experience in Helsinki and why all cool things come from Finland.

In this musing, I share the power of mindset as it relates to two solo trips I took to Thailand.

Big L's and little l's, in this musing I reflect on how much better I feel a year later, as we come up on the day that changed everything. I share the people that helped and things I did to cope differently. I truly hope it inspires your healing or coping. Please be patient as I learn how to edit better and face my fear of just rolling with imperfection.

My first musing of many, because my guests are busy and I don't want to stop sharing stories.
