Some Misconceptions about Bisexuality
In honor of Pride Month, and as a proud bisexual myself, I thought I’d take this opportunity to demystify some common misconceptions about bisexuality.

How I Stayed on Track With My Fitness Goals While on Vacation
My family and I just got home from a beach vacation. It was a wonderful, rejuvenating, and much needed time for me and my loved ones. But it also came with some stress. For the last two months, I’ve been on what I call my sustainable fitness journey. I’ve been working on creating fitness habits…

Traditions
Every summer of my childhood, my parents took me to the beach. My parents are creatures of habit, so it was always the same beach. The same condo, even. I was an only child, and my parents understood how lonely a vacation could be for a kid without siblings. So, they always let me bring…

13 Boundaries You Need to Set With Your Little Kids
A lot of us struggle with setting boundaries with our kids. We internalized some of the shame-based instructions we got from society about our role as mothers, and now we believe we are supposed to be martyrs for our kids. We think we are not allowed to expect our kids to treat us like we’re…

The Progress Mindset
This weekend, I took a 75-minute Power Zone Endurance ride on my Peloton. It was tough, and I wasn’t in the right headspace. I had stepped on the scale moments before the ride, and to my disappointment, it registered a pound higher than it had the day before. What the fuck. I’d been eating right,…

Does #MomBrain Ever Go Away?
This morning, I gathered all the things I need for the day, rushed my kids out the door, and headed to the car for school drop-offs. As I unloaded my things one by one into the passenger seat, I discovered a little surprise: a tiny pretend cereal box from my daughter’s play kitchen. What the…

On Keeping Score
There is a nasty little thing I do in my marriage. I have to work hard to keep it in check. Otherwise, it’ll undo all the hard work we have both done since our separation. It’s called keeping score. Keeping score is a habit I need to unlearn I’ll tell you how I got into…

The Mother Wound
When my dad was a baby, he was abandoned by his mother. We don’t know the whole story. A lot of us suspect that there was an affair or scandal that led to his abandonment. But, none of that is provable. My dad’s mother, my biological grandmother, left him as a newborn baby in the…
