What are you choosing to cultivate in this season of your life? As a new school year begins, I’ve been thinking about growth—not just for my students, but in every part of my own life. I want to grow as an educator, continue building my pet-sitting business, nurture Tea with a Taurus, become...

#215 | ADHD, Perimenopause & Learning Myself All Over Again
Perimenopause entered the chat… and apparently, she brought mood swings, brain fog, thinning hair, fatigue, and a whole new set of rules with her. In this episode of Tea with a Taurus, I’m talking about the moment my doctor casually told me, “It looks like you’ve entered perimenopause”—and how...

#213 | Parenting Is a Lifetime of Little Goodbyes
How do you hold on while also learning to let go? As parents, we spend years teaching our children to become independent, confident, and capable.

#207 | I Can Only Do Three Things Well in a Day
This week I had to tell my son to wait. He’s starting college prep and, like most big life transitions, it comes with forms, deadlines, and decisions. The catch?

#203 | Setting Boundaries in Small, Steady Ways

Knowing Better, Doing Better: What Parenting Has Taught Me
This week’s episode is a deeply personal reflection on growth, parenting, and the moments that show us how far we’ve really come. Inspired by a conversation with my son—a conversation no sixteen-year-old should ever have to navigate—I found myself revisiting an old phrase from my days working in...

-
Daily Reflection • Quiet Growth Counts Too
In today’s reflection, I’m thinking about the quiet parts of growth — the moments no one sees except you. The softer reactions, the deeper breathing, the small pauses before responding. These tiny shifts matter more than we give them credit for. Let’s take a moment to honor the progress that…
