Embracing the Mystery
In this episode it is August 6th, 2023 and I am out for a walk trying to make sense of my pain. I literally talk to you as a way to calm my inner storm and I think it helps. Quick spoiler alert- there is no quick fix to my distress and I have no answers- but there is grace. Thanks for being here...

The Most Beautiful Toilets in Rome…
I don’t really know how to describe this one 😂 If you can relate to some of this, God bless you. I cover a range of topics from how I regularly terrify my husband to grief and loss and the Beatles. I also ignore my better judgement and disclose one of my most embarrassing stories. Enjoy!

Love is a verb.
bell hooks said it best “love is a verb” and I am on a journey to take her advice and follow her lead. I like to think that I have come a long way from how I loved when I 21 (dating two guys at once wasn’t a shining moment for me) marriage, true love, loss and birthing 3 babies sure rubbed the...

Building Capacity
Last year I felt drawn to the word “capacity” as a focus point for how I wanted to approach hard things. I was tired of being swept away by even the smallest emotion and felt that growing my capacity for distress was the best next step. I didn’t realize that 2022 would hold so many capacity…

I’m so glad I stayed: the story of survival, a tattoo and a double chin.
So I got my first tattoo! Boom! It was going to be perfect and then suddenly it wasn’t because… the tattoo artist wasn’t there. It was a scheduling miscommunication and what unfolded next was all meant to be. January 22, 2006 could’ve been my last day. But a miracle stepped in (I not…

Are you someone who is willing to look for goodness?
I feel like I get all of my best ideas/realizations when I am driving, cleaning or in the shower. Notice how I didn’t say “sitting”. Maybe that is because I don’t do it often out of some very western inability to be still. Life seems to be throwing me endless curveballs. I don’t know if that will...

October: a retreat, a birthday, a wedding and a drive by shooting… its been intense.
“Quick discloser: I don’t like underwear” and also- October was so intense!!! It basically started with me accidentally (basically) mooning my kids’ karate class, followed by things like a grief retreat, a drive by shooting that ended with a bullet hole in my van. And then there was the wedding…

The Birth of a Mother
In this episode I don’t filter, because motherhood doesn’t come with one. It is raw! I always wanted to be a mom. Had anyone told me what pregnancy and labor are ACTUALLY like I would’ve been too terrified to even try! But I was blissfully unaware of what was waiting for me. It was so worth it!…

The Ice Cream Social
When I said that they could “stop by” I didn’t expect them to actually come. I was 19 and it was a “Minnesota nice” thing to say… I often reflect on what happened over that course of time. One little comment turned into a week that was part Wes Anderson part SNL when it comes to measurement of...

I will never let him go…
Missing my brother is a regular part of my day. It’s like brushing my teeth or going to bed at night. Missing him is part of breathing in and out. Just the way loving him was. Just the way loving him is… I am preparing for the 10th anniversary of his death- August 6th is tomorrow. I am preparing...

“Priest used poor judgement”: reflections on BULL$@#%, flashbacks and victory.
Trigger Warning! About 2 weeks ago I found out that a harmful and dangerous priest has recently had his facilitation of abuse labeled as “poor judgement”. He has been given a parish to be in charge of in Minneapolis, MN. It is absolutely unacceptable and If ANYONE describes the coverup of clergy...

Can me and my depression come over for a play date?
Regardless of how progressive we have gotten as a society, mental health is still very taboo. I have PTSD and that diagnoses seems to be the umbrella that covers all of the mental health struggles I have faced over the years. I don’t want to scare people away, but I also don’t want to hide the…

Shadow and Light
The day I was flicked off by a driver near my house threw me into an identity crisis. I wanted to be understanding, maybe they were stressed, maybe they had an emergency, maybe, maybe, maybe... next thing I knew I wanted to roll down my window and cream out a litany of really, um.... not nice...

It has been almost ten years since I’ve heard my brother’s voice.
This year, as always, I step into the holidays with a deep sense of gratitude and a heartbreaking sense of loss. My brother died almost 10 years ago and I don’t know if I will ever totally heal from that. I don’t know if I want to. What I do know, is that I don’t want to miss out on the blessing…
