I’ve always had a vivid memory. For me, it’s more than remembering—it’s reliving.
I don’t just recall an old scene or story from my life… I step back into it. I feel it. It's like walking into a movie theater in my mind, where every memory has its own screen, looping on repeat. Some are light and playful, some bring tears, and some still catch me by surprise.
This week on The Free Advantage, I’m honoring the sacred space of memory—t...
You know those things about yourself that you wish you could change?
For me, it’s always been anxiety—ever-present right beneath the surface.

Ever had that moment when life feels too good? Everything is going right, you feel happy, things are flowing… but then that familiar sense of doom creeps in.
Something bad must be coming. Right?
I’ve felt this so many times in my life. For years, I lived in a constant state of low-key dread, waiting for something to pull the rug out from under me. It wasn’t until I read about foreboding joy in Brene Brown's Atlas of the Heart that...
The Breaking Point: Why We Snap
We like to think of ourselves as patient people. We try to let things go, extend grace, and maintain our cool. But when we’ve been poked one too many times? That’s when things shift.
In this episode, I dive into what happens when our tolerance runs out, why we get blamed when we finally snap, and how we can set better boundaries to prevent frustration from boiling over.
