  • Knowing When to Say When
    Jun 27 2025

    There comes a time in every great journey when it is important to ask, "Is this still a calling… or is it a clinging?" For me, I have decided to stop screaming into a void (at least in this capacity!). This is the final episode of the 4-Minute-Mark. For those who took the time to listen, I am so grateful. Thank you for giving me your time and attention.

  • Don't Give Up On Yourself!
    Jun 26 2025

    Don’t give up on yourself.
    You’re not behind. You’re just in the middle of the plot twist.
    And spoiler: your best chapter hasn’t even aired yet.
    (Also, someone out there is still quoting that one thing you said. You’re iconic. Keep going.)

  • Critical Thinking is a Survival Skill
    Jun 25 2025

    Critical thinking: the lost art of not getting played by a pathological liar in a red tie.
    Facts aren’t feelings, and confidence isn’t truth. Ask better questions—or get ruled by people who count on you not asking any.

  • Being Kind Isn’t That Hard
    Jun 24 2025

    Kindness isn’t complicated. It’s not weakness. It’s not woo-woo.
    It’s just choosing not to be a jerk when the opportunity is right there in front of you.
    In a world full of chaos and caffeine-fueled meltdowns, kindness still matters—more than ever.
    Be decent. Be kind. Be the plot twist in someone’s dumpster fire day.

  • None of Us Are Walking on Water… and That’s OK
    Jun 23 2025

    None of us are walking on water—we’re just doing our best not to drown in doubt.
    If you’ve been forgetting your worth lately, here’s your reminder (and mine):
    You are valuable. Even when you’re not “crushing it.” Even when you feel like a tangled slinky in a world of green smoothie influencers.
    We teach best what we need to learn. And today, I’m learning this right alongside you.

  • MAGA Thinks Liberal Is an Insult? Let’s Unpack That.
    Jun 20 2025

    You call me liberal like that’s supposed to be an insult?
    Let me help you out with a dictionary, a mirror, and maybe a clue.
    Believing in equality, education, and human rights isn’t radical—it’s called being decent.
    If that offends you… well, that says more about you than it does about me.

  • What Is Kindness? (Because Some of Y’all Clearly Forgot)
    Jun 19 2025

    Apparently, we need a refresher on what kindness actually is.
    Spoiler: it’s not “bless your heart” with a side of judgment or posting Gandhi quotes while throwing shade in the comments.
    Real kindness is active. It’s bold. And yes—it still exists. Let’s bring it back.

  • It’s OK to Not Be OK. No, Really
    Jun 18 2025

    You don’t have to be glowing with gratitude, thriving in every area, or radiating good vibes 24/7.
    Some days, just getting through is more than enough.
    So if you’re feeling a little off, a little tired, a little messy—welcome.
    You’re not alone. You’re just human.
