This Side Up: When Life’s Instructions Get Fuzzy

When You Feel Invisible

In this episode, I talk about those moments when you feel completely unseen, in airports, in conversations, in everyday life, and how easily that feeling can settle into your bones. But I also explore the unexpected strength that comes from standing just outside the spotlight, and why being overlooked doesn’t diminish your worth. If you’ve ever wondered whether you matter, this one’s for you. If you enjoy gentle, real-life stories about connection, meaning, and the small moments that stay with us, you’re in the right place.

The White Van: A Story About Helping From the Sidelines

What began as an ordinary Saturday with kids laughing in the back seat, errands to run, nothing unusual shifted in an instant when a white van pulled in behind us. Two masked faces. A glimpse of a gun. And a choice I had to make with three girls in my car. This is a story about the moments we’re pulled into someone else’s chaos, and the quiet courage it takes to help from a safer distance. Sometimes we step forward. Sometimes we step aside. And sometimes, we never learn the ending, but we hope we made a difference.
