Every book begins with a spark. Not a polite spark either but more like the kind that snaps, hisses, and threatens to burn your eyebrows off if you ignore it. This week we’re talking about the moment the idea for my book was born. The genre. The themes. The characters who started whispering in my…

Tiny Joys For Grounding In The Chaos This Week
This week has been… a lot. The kind of week where my brain feels like 47 tabs are open, two are frozen, and one is playing music I can’t find. But even inside the chaos, I kept stumbling into these tiny, glittery moments that reminded me I’m still here, still me, still capable of softness….
Color Crush: Tidal Teal — The Moment Everything Becomes Clear
There are colors you wear, colors you use, and then there are colors that feel like they rinse your whole spirit clean. The latter is Tidal Teal. It’s a hue that doesn’t just sit on the surface but moves through you like a wave pulling back, revealing what’s been there all along. This is a…
Street Art: The Art Of Public Emotion
Street art has always been louder than paint. It’s a pulse, a protest, a love letter, a confession, or even a warning. It’s the moment someone decides that their feelings deserve a wall, not a whisper. When you trace history, you realize street art isn’t just about color or style. It’s about emotion made public….
Lupus….The Silent Killer
I have Lupus. It’s so weird to say that because besides asthma in my childhood and some thyroid issues years ago that are now also being attributed to lupus, I’ve been relatively healthy in life. At this point, lupus has taken a kidney and an ovary from me so far and I’m still learning everyday…
The Art of Being Dramatic on Purpose
Lately I’ve really found comfort in being dramatic about everything. Sometimes life, for me, just becomes so overwhelmingly chaotic that I can’t figure out if I’m going up or down. These past few weeks I’ve really decided to lean into dealing with it all in a very different way and weirdly, I’ve been far less…
Valentine’s Day: A Love Story, A Legend, and A Whole Lot of Marketing
Valentine’s Day didn’t always start with roses, prix fixe dinners, and heart shaped everything. It once began with ancient rituals, centuries of evolving storytelling, and eventually became the commercial powerhouse we now see every February. Understanding the true journey makes the holiday feel richer and a little funnier than the glossy pink aisles let on….
Unhinged Advice I’d Give If No One Could Hold Me Accountable
There’s a version of me who should probably never be allowed near a government office to run the world, but who should be allowed to run the life of someone for just a day. Unsupervised Coco is powered by Starbucks refreshers, intrusive thoughts, and the belief that life is too short to be normal all…
The Myth of the Effortless Woman
There’s a certain kind of woman the world loves to mythologize. You know what I’m talking about. The woman who just rolls out of bed with the perfect hair, color coordinated pajamas, glowing skin, and the emotional stability of someone who has never once cried in a Target parking lot. She is the patron saint…
How I’m Storyboarding My Year
I need a change. Plain and simple. I’m drowning in work and health, and my mental health is getting scary low. I refuse to start 2026 in a spiral of playing catch up and lists of the 100 things I need to get done. I want to enjoy life and wake up refreshed and looking…
