I wanted to say hi & tell you a bit about me! I love to write about life… but not the Instagrammable version. The truer, messier kind of life. The kind where joy and regret sit side by side at the same table, passing the salt back and forth.

I write... because it’s my way of making sense of life… to put things into words... to make them sharp enough to see clearly... but soft enough to hold.

My past bestselling books have been a combo of profound and funny... because let’s face it, life can be both, often at the same time.

Which brings me to my newest book….

❤️Your To Die For Life: How to Maximize Joy and Minimize Regret Before Your Time Runs Out.

🎉It’s a #1 new release - in all categories- paper, Kindle & Audible!

Yes, the word “die” is in the title... but don’t let that scare you.

My book isn’t about death…. it’s about life. YOUR LIFE! And how to make sure it’s something meaningful.

I wrote this book because after my dad died… his passing made me realize just how finite life is. And how much time we waste in autopilot mode…or telling ourselves, “Someday I’ll get to it.”

Meanwhile time is ticking by… and “someday” isn’t guaranteed.

That’s not meant to depress you. It’s meant to wake you up…so you don’t waste your precious time here on this planet.

My book “Your To Die For Life” has lots of wake up tools - like writing your eulogy - with a MadLibs template - and creating To Die Lists - which are more like “to do what matters most” lists! Plus lots more!

As mentioned, it’s #1 new release! 🥳

You can order via the link in my bio. Or drop the word BOOK below & I’ll DM you info!

If you’re thinking, “Wow, this book sounds like something my friend would love” …tag them!

Rooting for you to live a life you’re excited by!

Drop some 💗💗💗 if this resonates! 😘MY NOTE TO YOU: Think about the person who changed your life most. I’ll bet they weren’t perfect. They probably had coffee breath and said “um” too much.

But they did this crazy thing where they actually paid attention to you.

Like, put their phone face down and looked at you like you were the only person in the room.

We’ve convinced ourselves that to matter, we need to be impressive. But nope.

The people who actually changed us?

They just showed up. Flawed. Messy. Loving. Listening. Caring. Present.

Drop some 🙏🙏🙏 for protecting your inner peace! 😘MY NOTE TO YOU: We collect these tiny grievances like they’re Pokémon cards, walking around furious about people we’ll never see again. ✨The guy who didn’t use his blinker. ✨The person chewing too loud. ✨The cashier who’s moving at the speed of continental drift. 👇

👉Here’s what finally changed for me as I got older:

🤔I realized life is freaking short!

😉And I don’t want to waste my limited time on this planet holding a grudge against a stranger who I will never see again!

🧠So I intentionally refocus my energy on the people I love - and remind myself there are plenty of super good people in the world.

🥰Then I text or call one of my favorite super good people!

👇Share your thoughts on this below!

And….
