Moving to Sicily, it was impossible to ignore how much of my American life was shaped by an endless cycle of waiting. Waiting for the right opportunities, waiting to feel "enough". But f*ck all that. Life in Palermo taught me something: No one here was waiting. Read more at the link in my bio

Did I tell you about the time I ran into a famous K-drama actor who was on vacation here in Sicily? The entire interaction sparked such joy in me. I love when things like this happen to me. They are the small moments of joy in a crazy and chaotic world. Read more at the link in my bio.

There’s nothing that can prepare you for being solo in another country when you get sick. One of the reasons that you really want to prioritize rest is because eventually your body will force you to rest. And that’s exactly what happened to me. Read more at the link in my bio.

What I realized is that loneliness doesn’t disappear because you live abroad; it shifts when you start saying yes to connection. I have lonely moments but I can always find something to do with someone in the community here or I do it alone and meet new people. Read more at the link in my bio.

When I first dreamt about moving to Sicily, I envisioned a life of endless beaches, sunsets, and spritzes. And for the most part, the reality does live up to the dream. But there's also an unspoken fear on taking a leap of faith and relocating across the world alone Read more at the link in my bio

Here’s a personal confession: I haven’t taken a single day off of work since Christmas. And I am not saying that to brag, but to remind myself on this public platform that I need to take my own advice: We have to take care of our own wellbeing and ourselves first. Read more at the link in my bio.

My life coach, Lauren Handel Zander, would ask me, “What are you going to do today to make the day fun?” The first time she asked, I looked at her like she had 3 heads. Even yoga or running were things that I wasn't doing for fun. What do YOU do in life for fun? Read more at the link in my bio.

Once a month, I speak with my life coach Lauren Handel Zander about 1 of the 12 areas of life she has students focus on in The Handel Method. Areas like: career, money, love, etc. But the hardest one for me was FUN! Why? As an overachiever, it’s a tricky question. Read more at the link in my bio.

Going live on Substack with Brooke Baldwin in a few minutes to talk about our separate but similar journeys to come back to ourselves 🙏🏾 #unraveling open.substack.com/live-stream/...?

When you strip away everything that is familiar for you - your routines, your language, your cultural shorthand - you’re left with yourself. You have to look in the mirror. I had a lot more grieving to do than I thought. Not just grief but also sadness. Read more on Substack at the link in my bio.

When I first started thinking about moving abroad, I thought I was chasing beauty. I wanted my life to feel like the dream I pictured in my head.

What I do to make money to pay my bills isn’t a central component of a conversation here in Sicily like it is in the States and I often think about why. I have learned that the people I’ve met here are not defined by their jobs the same way we are. Read more on Substack at the link in my bio.

I haven’t completely shed my American conditioning which tells me that there’s always more I can be doing and if I’m not always in constant motion then I’m not doing enough. American hustle culture is a scam and something I have to intentionally unlearn. Read more on Substack at the link in my bio.
