Even though I’ve published a book, been on big stages, and toured the country, I still struggle with imposter syndrome, wrestle with questions of my value, and wonder if I’m saying or doing enough. I share all of this not for pity, but to validate anyone else who might also experience this—AND to serve as a reminder that we don’t need to believe the lies our minds tell us.

I still haven’t had the time to fully process last weekend’s Extravaganza conference, but it was undoubtedly one of my favorites because of the people and moments we shared together. It felt like a long-awaited reunion, a beautiful whirlwind of hugs and belly laughs, with enough spaciousness to grieve and release what needed to be let go.
