About Me

San Diego-based mom of 2 talkative kids, 2 cats and 1 energetic puppy. The mom hustle is real.

  • Lifelong student of goal-setting, time management, and happiness, with a nod towards I-am-enough-ness.
  • Fitness enthusiast. I run long distance, do HIIT classes, and lift heavy.
  • Foodie who loves checking out new restaurants and also loves eating simple & real food to hit my macros.
  • I love sharing our travels, in hopes that someone will enjoy living vicariously through them.
  • Married for 13 years to my hubby Menzies who brings the fun (and the dad jokes), and who encourages me in everything I do, always.
  • Trained as a scientist & bioengineer, I always appreciate a good data-driven book about how to live a good life.

About My Journal

I share about all of the topics above and about everyday life. Mostly, I use my journal to work through feelings of time scarcity, holding plans loosely, and embracing the “messy middle.” I look for mindset shifts and come to terms with uncertainty through my writing practice. In the past, this has taken place in a paper bullet journal, but I figured it’s time for this GenX-er to learn a thing or two about the internets.
