My Superpower

One of my greatest strengths is finding joy and purpose even when the world feels like it’s on fire, a mindset shaped and strengthened by a decade of creating yearly bucket lists. That ritual, which my husband and I blogged about in The Great Goal Rush (you can google it), has taught me to chase joy with intention, lean into discomfort, and say yes to things that stretch me. “Write a book” was on my 2024 list and I finished it during my furlough in March 2025. The book captures everything The Great Goal Rush has been for me: a compass, an anchor, and a reminder that even when life feels chaotic, we have control in how we respond. 

Lately, in between applying for literally hundreds of jobs (350 if you want me to be exact), I’ve been returning to the bucket list items I never got to finish. Yes, it’s a distraction, but it’s become a discipline. Movement keeps me grounded. Staying focused, hopeful, and in motion? That’s not just my coping mechanism—it’s my superpower.

Another hidden talent: squeezing in writing anywhere I can, including on the rec center floor outside the bathroom during my daughter’s ballet class.

The big dream, besides getting this book published, is to turn this superpower into something bigger. What does that look like? TBD. My mission is to spark movement—within ourselves and in the world. But if you’re curious about what comes next, I’m building an email list to share updates, stories, and sneak peeks as this evolves.
