the problem with "imposter syndrome"

i recently witnessed ocean vuong, the iconic poet, accept an award at a gala i recently attended, in which he completely upended the way i have understood this phenomenon of "imposter syndrome." his words have been at the forefront of my mind the last week, and have felt like a catalyst to a major breakthrough i'm facing about how i understand self-worth and practice self-affection.

i think i'm ageist...

i recently sat on a panel with ashton applewhite, the first "ageism activist" i've ever met. hearing her talk about how we're all conditioned to be ageist, and how ageism and ableism go hand in hand, was super eye-opening and thought provoking -- and i'm just going to be blunt about *all* the reflections i've been having about aging, age, and ageism. would love to know what you think!!

another school shooting!?

i've been on auto pilot trying to stay focused on the busy month of work i have...while also keeping up to date with some of the heartbreaking news that has been hitting headlines over the last couple days. ignorance is bliss -- but still ignorance: so how do we balance being socially aware and up-to-date about what's happening in our world, while also maintaining peace-of-mind? ruminating on this question in this episode.
