I'm an international bestselling author, speaker, teacher, truth-teller & writing mentor.

The highlights

My Journey

International Bestselling Author

I’m the bestselling author of Choose Wonder Over Worry, which has been translated into eight languages, plus The Answers Are Within You and The Feelings Journal.

Global Community

My writing and illustrations reach millions of people per month in nearly 200 countries, and my work has been featured in The New York Times, NYMag, TODAY, SELF, Forbes, and Entrepreneur.

Keynote Speaker & Workshop Facilitator

I've spoken to and led workshops at celebrated brands like Kate Spade, Meta, Microsoft, Merrill Lynch, Lululemon, Unilever, TED, and SAP, among others.

Mentored 1000+ Writers

I've guided groups of writers to get their most honest and true stories on the page, and I've helped more than a dozen get six-figure book deals.

Seth Godin Alum

I helped New York Times bestselling author Seth Godin start a publishing company with Amazon, where I supported authors like Steven Pressfield and Derek Sivers to edit and market their books.

Creative Entrepreneur & Experimenter

I started my career in marketing with Apple, went on to join Omnicom's first digital agency, dove into the Silicon Valley tech gold rush, and then set out on my own creative & entrepreneurial path. Over the years, I've launched life-accelerator programs, art movements, global journaling challenges & book birthing workshops. My belief is simple: curiosities are made to be followed.

Journaling for 30 years

Journaling is the pathway to my inner truth. It helps me to hear my true voice, to calm myself in times of chaos, and to befriend my own emotions. It's transformed my life in immeasurable ways, and I'm certain it can change yours, too.

There’s who we are, and there’s who we’ve learned to be. When we create the space to connect with and hear ourselves—to give ourselves our full presence, to speak the honest truth, to come into our own alignment—we begin to create a life by design, not by default.
