A person can have many dreams simultaneously, and sometimes those dreams will conflict with each other. You may love being a parent but also dream of spontaneous kid-free adventures. As Oprah Winfrey said during an interview with Michelle Obama, “You can have it all, perhaps—but you can’t have it all at the same time.”

Stability isn’t the same thing as alignment. Sometimes our values, or the qualities we strive to integrate into our lives, aren’t part of our day job. For instance, we may value altruism, creativity, or connection, and those ideals aren’t necessarily present at work. When this happens, we may feel bored or begin to wonder if the grass is greener elsewhere. However, this doesn’t mean you have to quit your job to find more satisfaction. You can keep growing while simultaneously doing what’s required to keep food on the table. That may look like finding ways to integrate those qualities into your work, and if that’s not possible, to honor those values in other parts of your life.

Restlessness in parenting does not mean you aren’t grateful for your kids. Two things can be true: We can love our children deeply and still grieve the freedom, spontaneity, and ease we once had. Which slide resonates the most for you?

One thing that really stood out to me at the Psychotherapy Networker Symposium this weekend was the kindness that was shared with me.

So meaningful to connect in person with authors and clinicians I deeply respect, especially .alexandra.solomon, , and .life.mental.wellness, whose support of Restless has meant so much.

Grateful to for such a validating conversation about the publishing process. Also appreciated the chance to connect, even briefly, with and ❤️ ❤️

In our longing to feel good in our bodies, our families, and our world, we’re constantly trying to better ourselves. I don’t know about you, but I’ll confess that my stack often sits for months waiting for bent pages. Sometimes, I simply don’t have the energy to constantly better myself. In those moments, I might ask: Can I be okay with what is?

Ever achieve a long-held goal only for it to feel like a letdown? This isn’t uncommon and here’s why: Historically, we’ve mainly understood dopamine as being triggered by achieving a rewarding experience.

However, recent research conducted by neuroscientists Kent Berridge and Terry Robinson (2016) at the University of Michigan says otherwise. The researchers describe two psychological processes, “wanting” and “liking,” with dopamine being part of the “wanting” system. This implies that dopamine mediates motivation and not necessarily pleasure. In other words, wanting is not proportionate to liking. This is why sometimes achieving or acquiring what we want can feel like a letdown compared to the dreaming, scheming, and anticipating that came before it. So, perhaps today, we can lean into the pleasure of the journey instead of focusing on the outcome.

I’m so honored to be featured in the spring issue of Woman’s Day magazine! Check out my “anti-bucket list” for tips on how to make the most of where you are right now. And if it resonates, my book Restless: How to Stop Living an If-Only Life is out April 14 — link in bio!
Thanks so much to for the support and for being such an incredible champion of women!

We talk a lot about growth as movement forward. But sometimes growth is staying and investing in what’s already here. Instead of perpetual forward momentum, we can pause to nurture what may not always be thrilling, but grounds us and offers us a stable place from which to grow.

It’s here! It’s a strange and beautiful thing when, what started as an idea in your head, is a tangible thing in your hands. I’m so grateful to for making this dream come true, and to my family and friends who supported me through this process. This is yours too.

When I work with couples navigating ADHD, I notice some common themes. These clients often need reassurance instead of guessing games, adventure even in the mundane, flexibility instead of rigidity, and room to be fully known instead of neatly categorized. It is not about managing a diagnosis. It is about building a dynamic where both people feel safe, supported, and understood.
