I’m Hiking the PCT! 12 Things to Know About Me
1. I’m 25. I live in Arizona. I’ve been working as an editor but quit my job to do the PCT. 2. I did not grow up hiking. I went on a handful of hikes and camping trips as a kid. I found hiking arduous and not fun. I’ve been fishing once and managed to […]

How I cured* my anxiety
I’m pretty sure I’ve had a mild form of anxiety for a decade, but it was only in the last two years that I figured out what it was. For me, anxiety felt like I couldn’t breathe. Sometimes it felt like my chest was compressed. Other times it felt like there was pure adrenaline running […]

This is the only ‘cool’ yoga pose I can do
I’ve been practicing yoga regularly (3x and more a week) for six months, but this is the only cool yoga pose I can do*. I am grateful for that. I’ve tried yoga a million times. I’ve managed to go regularly for a couple of weeks at a time. Each time I went to yoga, I […]

So You’ve Been Publicly Shamed by Jon Ronson I like Ronson’s writing style and previously really enjoyed The Psychopath Test. Shame – how we process it, how we use it on each other – has been on my mind a lot, and it was interesting to see a handful of public shamings explored in-depth. There […]

“She is undeniably a funny lady, and her humor translates beautifully — even more powerfully, I’d argue — to the page. Her jokes have more time to build, her punchlines land harder. She’s created an entirely hilarious read that will delight her current fans by giving them a pitcher-sized serving of her normally shot-sized jokes […]

I had the pleasure of interviewing David Oyelowo for SheKnows. He spoke about his responsibility as a role model and representative: “I don’t have the luxury of willy-nilly doing whatever I feel I want to do in the heat of the moment. I know that what I do has ramifications… political, social, cultural, for my […]

A few years before I moved out of my mother’s house, hummingbirds started nesting in the roof. One, above the front door. Another in the backyard just above the kitchen window. I don’t have a single memory of what they looked like. I didn’t stop to really look. But my mother loved them, and she […]
