Struggling with seasonal depression or just feeling off? You’re not alone. In this episode, we’re talking about simple, no-pressure ways to get through tough days—starting with easy, low-energy wins (like opening a window or playing one song) and building up to mindset shifts that help change your focus. No toxic positivity, no guilt—just real, doable steps to help you feel even a little better. If you’ve been stuck in a slump, this one’s for you. 💛

Have you ever been caught in the middle of a situation where there are "two sides" to the story? 

It sucks to pick a side. And sometimes that side might not even be what actually happened, right? 

Here is a quick take on situations like that. Remember there can be as many versions of the story or situation as there were people involved....and then there is also what actually happened. 

This is a quickie, but I hope you enjoy! 

I feel like we get so caught up in the monotonous routines of life. I know I do sometimes. This past week I realized that these two things are so important to me every day and I didn't notice until they were missed. So cliche - You don't know what you have until its gone - type of thing. 

Let me know what your favorite part of the day or week is. And if it is bedtime, I won't judge.

Did you know most people abandon their New Year’s resolutions by January 13th? That’s right, two weeks in, and the treadmill is already gathering dust! Welcome to National Quitters Day—the day when motivation packs its bags and self-discipline is MIA.

In this episode, I’m sharing some psychology behind why we quit, times when quitting might actually be the BEST thing for you, and a few heartwarming tips to stay on track. Whether you're crushing your goals or wondering where your gym key fob went, we’re in this messy, magical process together.

Tune in for a mix of statistics, encouragement, and my own perfectly imperfect approach to making resolutions. Let’s turn this “quitting” thing on its head, shall we?

You know that meme you see on socials where it shows the expectation of reaching a goal being a straight, beautiful diagonal line from point a to point b? But in reality, it looks like a toddlers depiction of a cotton candy stick and a spider web combined? Yeah. I get it. My story looks like that in a lot of ways, too. 

Let's talk about it.

Welcome to Life's Just Perfect... With A Crooked "T". 
I'm glad you are here. 
We are off on a brand new year of adventure, and this year I have chosen this phrase as my "word" or "mantra" if you will, for the year.

Being "Perfect" is all about perception. Life can be messy, unpredictable, and downright hard at times, but that doesn’t make it any less beautiful. What’s perfect for one person might not look like perfection to another, and that’s the magic of it. It’s about embracing the chaos, the quirks, and the moments that make your life uniquely yours. When you shift your perspective and look at your life through a lens of gratitude and excitement, you’ll find it’s not just good—it’s perfect… for you.
