I’ve been called a lot of things: therapist, professor, founder, Mom, shopaholic, b_tch.
I’ve worked in mental health most of my adult life, founded Parallels in 2021, and became Ford’s Mom. I learned early that surviving one hard thing doesn’t exempt you from the next.
Ambition & Identity
Who we become while
building the life we said
we wanted.
Motherhood &
Relationships
What changes when
love, responsibility, and
selfhood all start
competing for space.
Leadership & Life
Mental health &
Recovery
The private work nobody
sees behind the version
of you that looks “fine.”
What success actually asks of you
after you get it.
