    Oct 27 2025
    Sometimes I feel like it’ll take just one sassy comment or one missed homework assignment or one line at the store that’s longer than I expected before I just lose it. Sometimes life is like that, and it’s normal and okay. But most of us don’t want to stay there for very long. Today, I’m going to share with you five things to remember and five things to do when everything is a little annoying.

    #436 - How to Pivot Gracefully: A Guide for the Sick, Tired, and Overwhelmed
    Sep 22 2025
    What do we do when we’re hit with something out of our control within our own bodies, in the bodies of people we love and live with, or from the world itself? What do we do when we are forced to pivot away from what we planned because our energy or our attention can’t function the way they were when we made that plan? That’s what I want to consider today. Spoiler: I don’t have an answer, not a concrete, formulaic one anyway. But I do have some thoughts about when we have to gracefully pivot.
