It's so easy to compare ourselves to others and imagine their lives are more exciting or better in some way. I loved being on Good Day Seattle to share my tips for getting out of that comparison trap.

To the moms whose nervous systems are running on empty, from the noise, the mess, the monotony, all of it. Time alone is not selfish. It’s self-preservation. Happy Mother’s Day.

Sometimes restlessness in adulthood is a signal that we’ve lost a connection with the little person that resides at our core. I keep this picture of a young me tucked in the corner of my bedroom mirror as a reminder of my purest self: the one who was fully present. We often turn away from our younger selves, choosing outside validation, comparisons, and advice over our inner voice. The "shoulds" take over. But our intuition is right there, waiting for us to access it.

A lot of people move through life with a belief that things would feel different if they had just made one other decision.
If only I had taken that job.
If only I had moved somewhere else.
If only I had chosen a different path.

Many of the ideas in the book explore this pattern and why thoughtful people often revisit these questions.
Not because something is wrong, but because reflection is part of how we try to understand our lives.

While I was writing Restless, I couldn’t help but take stock of how often the themes of unlived lives and restlessness are threaded throughout literature. Escaping into other people’s stories is in itself a way for us to live lives in which we never set foot, other than through the characters’ journeys. The book is certainly not a study in literature but rather an observation of a thread that weaves through our psyches, not exclusive to any time or place in history. I explore more about this connection in my monthly newsletter. Please join me there, link in bio!

Your social media feed is subtly working against your relationship, at times fueling resentment and restlessness. Beyond the obvious ways in which the screen in our hand pulls us away from our partner as we turn away, ignore, or disengage from the present moment, there are also less overt influences at play. Here’s a snapshot of how it works: You propose dance lessons to your partner, and with a gentle laugh, they immediately shut down the idea. You feel dismissed and hurt, even if you assumed they would say no. As you turn to your phone for comfort, your feed, following an online search for local dance studios, serves up a montage of couples dancing in their living rooms. In that moment, you begin to compare your relationship to this stranger’s life, assuming these couples are stronger, that their partners are more fun, open, or adventurous and the resentment builds. You’re left wondering: Could the grass be greener elsewhere?

Not sure if Restless is for you? In this video, I share a bit about who I hoped it would reach—readers who might see themselves in these pages and feel a little less alone in what they’re carrying.

I love being a mom, but it’s certainly not all I want from life; I have other identities that are important to me as well. A 2023 Pew study found only a third of mothers and less than a quarter of dads said that being a parent is the most important aspect of their identity. However, it’s so easy to get consumed by the demands of parenting that we lose track of other personal dreams and goals. One of the ideas I explore in the book is how complicated identity can feel when different roles, responsibilities, and desires co-exist, and how we can honor the person that resides at our core while simultaneously showing up for those we love.

I love this monologue from the movie Eternity because it captures something that we don’t often put into words. It’s so easy to romanticize a past love, especially one that existed before life became bogged down with responsibility. We remember the intensity of a first kiss, the kind of date that stretches on for days, the feeling of being swept up in something new.

But often we’re nostalgic for a simpler time or a less-jaded version of ourselves. But those memories live separate from the realities of daily life—job stress, raising kids, illness, the mundane and the difficult.
Long-term love isn’t just built on those highs, but on being in the lows together. In showing up for each other when things aren’t easy and life is demanding. It’s being fully known and loved with all your imperfections.
