I am so glad you are here.

Follow me on Instagram for everyday resiliency and everything else in between.

Sometimes, changing your day starts with changing the question. Not every hard moment needs a big solution. Sometimes we just need a better question. One that interrupts the spiral, helps us find perspective, or reminds us that we still have choices. The questions we ask ourselves matter. They shape what we notice, what we believe…

In my latest @psych_today article, I’m sharing five practical ways we can bring more gratitude into our workplaces, especially when things feel busy, stressful or uncertain. We spend so much of our lives at work, and feeling seen, valued, and appreciated matters more than we might realize. The good news? Creating a workplace where people…

Thank you to @mdrt Edge in Boston for having me today! I wanted to share some of the pieces we chatted about.

Some of the things that throw us off during the day are actually pretty predictable. The hunger that sneaks up on his period the wet socks after stepping in a puddle. The overstimulating environment when all we need is a little quiet. Here is what I’ve learned: a little preparation can make a big difference.…

Laughter does not make the hard things disappear. It can serve as a reminder that there is still room for joy. Be intentional about finding the funny. Spend time with people who make you laugh. Let yourself be a little silly. Create moments of shared joy. We don’t have to choose between acknowledging life’s challenges…

Humour is how we make room to breathe when life gets heavy. It’s how we find a little lightness in situations that aren’t particularly light. It’s how we connect with people who understand that sometimes the only appropriate response is a very inappropriate joke. We can take our responsibilities seriously without taking ourselves so seriously…

You know the kind. The joke that makes everyone laugh, then immediately look around to see who heard it. The kind that would probably get flagged by HR if it made it into a meeting transcript. But here’s the thing: Humour can be a powerful way of navigating the hard seasons. Sometimes we need to…
