For the last month, I’ve been hinting around about how I need to make some drastic changes in my life so that I can truly pursue writing and on-air hosting. Although all my plans are not 100% settled, I feel ready to share my plans with my nation of crazy girls. First, I’ll tell you [...]

Spiritual tsunamis occur when two elements in your life are at odds with one another and are causing friction in your consciousness. This friction can be ignored for awhile (just as a tsunami is not a threat when it is out at sea) but it will eventually make it to the surface of your life itself–and by the time it gets there, it will have gained enough momentum and magnitude to do some serious damage.

Many of us deprive ourselves of the very things that could bring us the most happiness in our lives.

if you are feeling dissatisfied and confused in your love life, wondering where all the men are, why other people get their happy endings and yours keeps eluding you, it would be a worthwhile activity to sit down and retell your love story.

My transformation into a bougie traveler helps me realize that no matter how much I shop at the store, I am not forever 21. The things that used to matter to me while traveling (spend as little money as possible and see as much as I can) are no longer as important.
