A Good Heart Changes More Lives Than a Good Brain Ever Could
Having a good heart is far more powerful than simply having a “good brain,” being smart, or highly educated. Intelligence can impress people, but a good heart moves them.

Marriage Is a Practice, Not a Promise
Speaking from firsthand experience, I went into marriage believing, like most people do, that love alone would be enough to make it last. You don’t walk down the aisle planning for divorce.

How Stability Shapes Confidence.
Stability… it’s one of those things you don’t always notice until it’s gone. I grew up in a safe environment. There was structure. Predictability. It gave me a baseline of confidence a sense that the world was manageable. That I could trust it and trust myself. But when that environment became unstable, everything changed. Suddenly,…

Leading from Within: When Intuition Speaks Louder than Strategy.
Over the last several months, I’ve been leaning heavily on logic analyzing, planning, trying to think my way through everything. I told myself it was the responsible thing to do. That being rational, grounded, and methodical was what this season of my life required. So I quieted my intuition. I brushed off those gut feelings,…
