    Best Books by Month 2024 – 107 Books Read

    01/03/2025 /

    In 2024, I wrote two blog posts. My most recent post was last week, which was a recap of the year. My only other post was about the books I read in 2023.

Some of you, however, might not share this enthusiasm, and that’s okay. I don’t fully understand it, but here, we listen and we don’t judge. Everyone’s journey is their own. As I reflect on 2024, I realize it was a year of quiet shifts for me. I lightly chose a word of the year: LEVITY. Honestly, my choice was inspired by Hayley Williams of Paramore. In 2023,…

    04/15/2023 /

    The author has written a new article for MORE Magazine titled "Working Overtime: The Invisible Load of Being a Working Mom". The piece explores her experience of balancing multiple roles and responsibilities in her life. It includes a discussion about the concept of invisible labor and provides a glimpse into the author's uniquely curated "Shit I Do" list, inspired by Eva Rodsky's "Fair Play". The author encourages readers to examine responsibility-sharing within their own families.
