Self-care for the long haul: how to build a life and legacy that are your own, pass on material AND emotional assets, and break cycles that have been going on for generations.

Hi! I fucking love Christmas. It's been my favorite holiday since I was little. Cooking for big groups, days-long baking marathons, lights and glitter and the smell of real Balsam firs. Last year, I couldn't celebrate in any of the ways I usually did. Gifts were super spare because I was in the ...

Single Moms Won't Tell You.

If you're alive in the world today, you've got single moms in your life. We're in your family, we're in your friend groups, we're in PTA and Junior League and Team in Training with you, we're everywhere. I'm talking about single moms who are the only adult in their household, who are solely res...

Let the Mystery Be.

The other night, I made steaks and baked potatoes. I made a wry, off-the-cuff joke on Threads, and it took off, with lots of men affirming me, my steaks, and my worthiness of praise and love.

Sunday Scaries, Get Fucked.

I do 15 things every Sunday to start my week off right. When I do the fifteen things, the week goes smoothly. When I do not do the fifteen things, my week goes off the rails. I've done enough A/B testing on this to know that the weeks that start with this knockout punch of a list are more present...

You could use a cookie.

Hurricane Helene might not have wrecked you like it wrecked us here in Atlanta, but the energy of the storm undoubtedly has reached your energetic body, and if you're feeling a bit hijacked--like many of us are!--a warm, gooey, oven-warm chocolate chip cookie. Baking is one of my favorite things...

Begin at the Beginning

I've been thinking a lot lately about time. The concept of it, the measure of it, its devices and seasons and elusive intentions. In some quantum theory and in Buddhist teachings we see a parallel: there is nothing but Now, as Past and Future are illusory and residual. The elasticity of time cre...
