Got back on my skates, let me tell you… I was rusty! I realized the best skaters aren’t afraid to fall. Life’s the same, stumble, practice, keep going

Every stage is an opportunity to connect, uplift, and keep the energy flowing. Honored each time I get the mic.

25 years ago, I bought shoes for everyone but myself. It hit me later, I was pouring into everyone else while leaving my own cup empty.

Remember this: you can’t pour from an empty cup, but you can’t drink from one either. Take care of yourself, it’s good for your mental health.

Being intentional matters. I’m in Philly for a counseling conference, reminding myself (and you) to make time for spaces that build us up.
