At 6am yesterday morning, my car was packed with ski gear and optimism. I was so excited to make my weekly trip up to the slopes. As I started driving toward New Hampshire, traffic suddenly jumped by 40–50 minutes… uhmmm quoi?   (That's 'what' in French! I'm hot and cultured!) The winter weather advisory was clearly worse than expected — accidents, ice, the whole thing. I didn’t feel like white-knuckling the drive just to ski for a few hours, so I turned around. And immediate

I had the absolute pleasure of hosting my high school class of 2015’s 10-year reunion this past weekend alongside my buddy John. Months of planning paid off, and the event went off without a hitch! It turned out to be such a fantastic, fun-filled evening—far beyond what I was expecting. And of course, I ended up hosting the whole night, microphone in hand, soaking it all in. 10 years. Wow. It feels like it flew by in two years rather than ten. I will admit, after months of pl

Picture this…you’ve survived speed dating, and then days later you meet this blonde, sexy, affluent man in a bar. You and your bestie spend hours talking to him over martinis. He offers to drive you home after you share a kiss, and it feels like fireworks. Before we go any further...you can relax, I’m not totally going to roast him—he never asked enough about me to know that a blog could exist! Two weeks ago, this was my Friday night, and I woke up the next morning insanely e

I was two cocktails deep at the hotel bar in sunny, perfect Hawai’i when I got the text from my friend in Southie. It was a link for speed dating and said “Do you want to go and see what we see?” It might've been the tequila soda talking, but I said, “You know what…hell yeah!” I'm learning that in life, we have to take the risk sometimes. What did I have to lose?  I’m working on putting myself out there with guys and this felt like a good opportunity. I also wanted blog conte

Dating . That word! Dreaded by some, embraced by others. Hope. Fear. Nerves. Expectation. Crushed expectations! Something that's been on my mind this week and YES-don’t yell at me -I’ve talked about it a few times but here's a reframe on rejection. So, here’s a quick and dirty (not dirty like that!)  blog on my hate for dating apps! A couple of months back, I was trying to be more intentional with dating apps as I was inspired by one of my Boston girlfriends encouraging me to

Ski season finished a few weekends ago for me and to say I’m heartbroken is an understatement! Everyone knows how much skiing fills my spirit. My   final day on the slopes was 60 degrees, sunny, and filled with endless soft snow laps. What a dream. I am so happy I hit almost 30 days out this season, had a trip out West, and got all my East Coast turns in.  Alas, it never feels like enough, and this season flew by faster than others. It already has me wishing for next season a

Guess what? Your therapist definitely has favorites! One of mine is a teenager I see weekly at work. She is naïve, nervous, and eager to learn techniques I teach her. She came to learn skills to manage anxiety around a breakup and gain self-confidence. My patient is struggling to move on from her past relationship and not settle for breadcrumbs. Like so many of us, she feels that she’ll never find anyone else. She feels that this was her one shot…at 15 years old! Girlfriend…I

Heyyyy Chateau Charty! I like to think I’m like Paris Hilton and all my blog readers avidly sit around waiting for another update. And...
