I walked away from a career in television to find my way back to myself.


It taught me that the most important work isn't the image of success you construct on the outside. It's learning to trust yourself enough to create a life that feels true to you, a life that feels like home.

That's what I write about. Every Friday, in your inbox.

Girl in the Spotlight: A Memoir 

By age 25, I had everything I was supposed to want — a career in television, a college sweetheart, a life that looked exactly right from the outside.

Then I started to question all of it.

Girl in the Spotlight is the story of arriving at a crossroads, getting lost in the darkness, and finding your way back home. It's about breaking cycles you didn't choose, letting go of the life you performed, and learning to trust yourself — maybe for the first time.

Now available in print and audio, read by the author.


my story

Leaving my career
in TV news
changed my life.

Not just what I did for a living — but how I live.

It freed me from the false belief that I had to perform to get the love and belonging I craved. And it started a lifelong practice of learning to trust myself, break cycles of the past, and build a life that feels true—not just good on paper.

I've been writing about that ever since. Through raising a family, redefining my career, and navigating my own crossroads in real time. This space is the  ongoing conversation.
