Let's Say Goodbye to Tipping
I know some will immediately slam me for saying tipping is an outdated practice, but it's true. It's not me being cheap or not caring about workers who aren't getting paid minimum wage or above. It's about everyone and their cousin expecting a tip simply for doing the job they're already being paid a livable wage to do.

People Love Spreading Misery
If you ask most people whether they'd prefer to be happy or miserable, they'd claim happy. In reality, I've discovered most people prefer misery. They thrive on it. They love the thrill of dragging others down with them. They love the drama and stress. I think it's some kind of sick adrenaline high. But it's got to stop!

I'm Quitting Social Media...AgainTop Story - August 2022
I remember when I started dating my boyfriend years ago, my friends thought I made him because he wasn't on Facebook. This was when Facebook was just starting to get big and I was only using it because the copywriting agency I worked for required it.

Beat Burnout Without Putting Your Life On HoldTop Story - July 2022
I've read dozens of articles from medical experts on burnout. I knew it was something I was starting to deal with, but mentioning the "b" word suddenly makes everyone look at you like you're priceless collectible falling off a high shelf. I'm tired. I'm burnt out. I'm not going to break into hysterics.

Success Doesn't Equal Happiness
Success and happiness - the two go hand in hand, right? Sometimes, but success is only part of the happiness equation. You might have a six-figure job, worked your way up the ladder faster than most, and even have an active social life. But, why is it you're not happy?

A Personal Vocal Media Writing Challenge for 2022
I have a bad habit of getting exciting about new projects, starting off strong, and then sitting there, wondering where all the energy and passion went. Even before depression became a constant companion, I struggled to stay motivated on projects and goals long term. As I've discovered, it's kind of a family trait, but it doesn't have to be one I live with any longer.

5 Reasons to Write Erotica
Everyone has fantasies or a favorite sexual encounter that gets your heart racing just thinking about it. Why not write about them? Whenever I mention that I write erotic, I get eye rolls. Apparently, that's not "real" writing. There's a reason 50 Shades of Grey is so insanely popular. People love to read it, even if they won't admit it.

Finding Yourself Through Sexual Meditation
By now, we've all heard about the benefits of meditation. It helps you relax, reduce stress, and even focus easier. But, there isn't just one type of meditation. In fact, standard meditation doesn't work for everyone. I'm one of those people. Sitting still and listening to a soothing voice instruct me on how to breathe actually makes my anxiety skyrocket to the point of a panic attack.

Taking Off The Mask To Live My DreamTop Story - December 2021
It all began as a young girl who just wanted to make everyone proud. Do your best, as long as “best” meant doing what everyone else had planned out for you. Me, I just wanted to write. But, that’s not a safe career. That’s not a respectable career that friends and family can brag about. To sum it up, it’s a career where others tell you “get a real job.”
