I don’t have all the answers, but I’m here to start a conversation...and to share the experiences and resources that have helped me.
I am…
--a military officer
--former congressional staffer
--a writer
--a lover of art
--an intermittent athlete
--someone who is not afraid to break it down on the sidewalk if ‘Yoncé drops a beat
--an empath who sometimes loses herself in other people’s problems
--and…a person who burned herself out spending years trying to be “all the things” she thought she needed to be, personally and professionally, in two high-speed careers
I am all of that…rumbling with my own vulnerability, understanding what makes me tick, uncovering things that are messy and discovering things in that mess that are truly amazing….embracing all that I am. Working to show up authentically in all I do
I started chronicling my life experiences a few years ago, sharing my stories with my small community. I recently realized that my stories, my lessons learned, may help others
So I am sharing them with you
