Meet me Monday.

Happy Monday! I hope you enjoy getting to know me. If you have any questions for me please email me at thewriteinfluence@gmail.com

What's your favorite way to spend a weekend? Honestly, it’s a toss-up. Some weekends I love being completely lazy — curled up on the couch with the boys, watching movies and eating popcorn. Other weekends, I’m all about brunch with my bestie followed by a little thrifting adventure. 

What's one thing people don't know about you that you wish they knew?

I live with BPD, though I wasn’t diagnosed for years. That time really shaped (and sometimes altered) how I thought I needed to act in order to be accepted or make friends. I look back and have regrets, but I also wish more people could see the real me now — the one who’s done the hard work in therapy and faced the things I needed to face.

What book had the most significant impact on you?
Little Women. It’s one of those stories that has always stayed with me and shaped how I see family, resilience, and creativity.

What's your dream job, regardless of pay?
To be a published author with a series of books out in the world. Writing is already a big part of my life, but the dream is to take those manuscripts sitting on my computer and see them bound, printed, and on someone else’s shelf.

What's the best vacation you've ever been on?
Last year, for my birthday, the boys and I went to Vegas and stayed at the Suncoast in Summerlin. Since I lived in Vegas for a few years, the Strip wasn’t our scene — but we rented a cabana, had food and drinks brought to us, swam, relaxed in the sun, and later caught a movie and dinner at Red Rock Casino. It was simple, fun, and honestly perfect.
