The Never Ending Weight Loss Debate
If you’ve been with me since I was at the helm of Revelle, then you know I have strong feelings about society’s obsession with women’s bodies. And the recent explosion of weight-loss medication has been a phenomenon that I’ve been following closely for years. Feel free to peruse some of our old articles — like…

The Waiting Game
Looking for a new job? Searching for your forever partner? Trying to publish your manuscript…? I’ll bet you’re miserable. Why is it that we as humans just genuinely suck so much at waiting? I talked in my last article about how many people in my life are currently looking for something new in their lives.…

Why New Year’s Resolutions Suck…But I’m Still Doing Them
New Year, New You…ugh, amirite? It’s almost like hating new year’s resolutions has gotten as tired as the resolutions themselves at this point.

The Meet Cute is NOT Dead
Everyone I talk to is sick of dating apps. They’re oversaturated. They give the illusion of infinite options. They make people lazy. But what’s the alternative?

But rather the shelves themselves are rigged as a…

AI Has Entered the (Dating) Chat
The other day I went on the most disappointing date I’ve been on since I (re)started my single girl journey post-breakup. Following the extremely firm directive of my friends, I downloaded a dating app to get myself back into the game (just ONE! It’s so overwhelming I can’t imagine juggling them all at once). I’ve…

Wearing Red To A Wedding Means What Now?
Wedding season is in full swing, so naturally TikTok is all over it. But between some adorable vow-writing videos, the trend of slipping the groom *spicy* pics of the bride, and a slew of fantastic Taylor Swift inspired transitions, I saw a new conversation emerge…apparently — at least according to not-at-all-reputable authorities on TikTok —…

Birthdays & The Single Lady Milestones
My birthday is coming up this week. And let me tell you I am a birthday girl. Summer birthdays weren’t always the best growing up — kids are often away at camp when you want to celebrate, and we moved around a lot so I was often somewhere new when my birthday rolled around (the…
