Creation Greater Than Consumption

Grateful for All the Fathers

Today I'm sharing why I feel fortunate for the men in my life and how appreciation can help us notice the life we're living.

The People Holding Everything Together

After more than five weeks away from the podcast, I’m returning with a deeply personal reflection on caregiving, appreciation, survival, and what it means to truly feel seen. In this episode, I share the emotional impact of being celebrated as a mother during Mother’s Day, recognized during Nurses Week, thanking my son’s teachers during Teacher Appreciation Week, and how all of it intersected with a recent emergency room visit as a SCAD survivor and cardiac nurse. This conversation is for the mothers, nurses, teachers, caregivers, healthcare workers, heart patients, and quietly exhausted people continuing to show up for others every day. A gentle reminder that your presence matters too.

I Was About to Record This Podcast…

I was about to record a podcast… and almost didn’t. This episode is a real-time reflection on running from one thing to the next, feeling run down, and not having much space to pause. Nothing polished or perfect... just honest. If you’ve been feeling like you’re constantly running, this might resonate.

A Birthday, Remembered

Today (March 18th) would have been my dad’s birthday. I originally thought I would record something deeper—something that captured everything about his life, his loss, and what he went through. But I realized that some things are too big to fit into one moment. So instead, this episode is short and simple. It’s about remembering the people we love—the laughter, the ordinary moments, the pieces of them that still stay with us. I also share a question I’ve been sitting with: How do we celebrate and remember someone after they’ve passed?

Creation Greater Than Consumption

After surviving SCAD (spontaneous coronary artery dissection), I began rethinking what I allow into my life — and what I create from it. In this episode, I explore “creation greater than consumption” and how ceramics became part of my healing, grounding me in growth, surrender, and balance in a body that has endured trauma.
