#293 If I can be vulnerable for a minute or two—I love running a business. It might be small, but it’s small and mighty. Fun fact: I hated coffee for most of my life and was strictly a tea girl. I found my way to coffee through a lot of pain, disappointment, and growth. Before…
#290 Happy Summer
The tapes in my head. For the last few years, I have been activity working cutting the loops in my head by the endless tapes of my anxieties. Silencing it by telling myself to stop never worked. I would spend endless hours in my head going through different scenarios of different shitty situations. The loops…

Bla Bla Land: Chapter 49
My new producer was mean, and that's honestly how I felt. She made comments to me about my personality."Why do you have to be friends with everyone?" "Why are you so nice?" I didn't know how to answer the questions. I was just being me. She was from the east coast and felt strongly that…

#273 garbage
Describe the last difficult "goodbye" you said. Yesterday, I was driving to work, and a thought came into my mind. My mother commented the day before about some women in our extended family. She mentioned that they are very much "Afghani" women and are not trying to act American. I was confused by her comment…
