When friends (new and old) ask why we made such a drastic leap I always go to the first domino in the chain of collapse. It’s a story with many truths, all leading to one hell of a climactic cliffhanger before the credits roll. I want to feel in control of this story…this narrative around what happened to my beautiful… Read more →

Guys, I started a podcast about mental health.

I’m trying to actually be a little quieter while I process it all and figure out what to do next. I took all the social apps off my phone because raging into… Read more →

Honestly, I just asked if any kids TV characters annoyed them.
A very personal fundraiser.
As many of you know, after the birth of my daughter Delilah in 2009 I suffered from a severe case of postpartum depression and OCD. It caught me completely off guard, but it shouldn’t have — one in seven mothers will find herself in its grasp. The illness and subsequent recovery changed my life in many ways (for one, I now… Read more →
