*This One’s a Deep Dish on Love — Bring a Fork & an Open Heart*
A few years back, the fabulous Stacy St. Claire sat me down and asked me to spill everything I know about love — the real stuff. Not the meme-ified, twin-flame-lite, Pinterest-perfect version… but the gritty, gorgeous truth about what love is, what love isn’t, and how real-world soulmates actually work. In this 14-minute conversation, we dive into: ✨ How to […]
*This Thanksgiving, Try Something Better Than Gratitude Lists *
Every November, the world hands us the same laminated homework assignment: “Be grateful. Make a list. Write down three blessings.” (As if the Universe is grading us. Please.) And while there’s nothing wrong with gratitude, it can feel a little… meh. Predictable. Like someone saying, “I made my famous salad!” and you know it’s just […]
*You Don’t Owe the Universe Rent*
Lately, I’ve noticed how many people are on a mission to “find their purpose.” As if the only way to earn a good life here on Earth is to prove to the cosmos that they deserve it.That somehow living out your purpose is the rent you pay for being alive. I don’t believe that. Not even […]
What is Love (really)?
In Sanskrit, there are 96 words for love. In ancient Persian, 80. In Greek, six. And in English… just one. Maybe that’s part of the problem. We’ve been trying to squeeze a vast, multidimensional, shape-shifting mystery into a single four-letter word. This week, I came across something that stopped me in my tracks. Lionel Richie — yes, that Lionel Richie, the man […]
Living in a Both/And World
Somewhere along the way, we were sold the myth that life is either/or — right or wrong, good or bad, my way or the highway. But the truth? It’s a both/and world. It’s both the way you say it is and the way I say it is. It’s messy and miraculous. Holy and human. You […]
The Love Thief is headed to Hollywood!
I can finally share the secret I’ve been dying to tell you… Amazon MGM Studios has officially optioned The Love Thief for development as a premium limited streaming series! Yes, you read that right. My romantic-spiritual thriller—part Eat Pray Love, part Dirty John, and 100% heart and soul—is officially on the path from page to […]
Debbie Ford Birthday Tribute
Today I’m celebrating my sister, the late, great Debbie Ford, on her heavenly birthday. Even though she flew off to her next adventure 13 years ago, she is still very much with me and so many of you. Debbie continues to wrap those she loved and those who loved her in her giant healing wings. […]
What I’m bingeing: “Evil girlfriends, raunchy wives, Reese & Jen, oh my!”
Confession: I’ve been on a bit of a streaming bender lately — and you, my dear reader, get the cheat sheet. 1. The Girlfriend (Amazon Prime) Robin Wright not only stars but directs this dark, twisty tale set in upper-crust London. Picture a protective mother vs. her son’s too-perfect new girlfriend who just reeks of […]
My Least Favorite Word
I was at the beach having lunch with a friend recently, and a friend of hers I’d never met before. In the usual getting-to-know you conversation, Charlie asked me if I was retired. I felt my body recoil in horror. My fists clenched, my eyes narrowed as if wanting to shoot daggers into him, and […]
Why I Hate Disneyland
I have a confession: I hate Disneyland. I know, I know—it’s supposed to be the “Happiest Place on Earth.” But every time I’ve been, I’ve felt swallowed by the artificiality. Fake castles. Fake grass. Made-up characters. $12 churros. A world where magic is manufactured instead of lived. My true happiest place on earth? India. Everywhere […]
