You have big, brilliant dreams. A million ideas. A deep urge to create something amazing.

And yet… you can’t seem to start. Or, if you do start, it’s never quite good enough, so you either obsess over every tiny detail or abandon it altogether, promising yourself you’ll come back when you have more time to do it properly.

Been there. 🙋‍♀️

For as long as I can remember, I’ve pushed myself to be everything I thought people wanted me to be. I was the straight-A student, the overachiever, the one who got things done.

And for a while, it worked. I hit every goal, proved myself over and over… until one day, I hit a wall.

Burnout. Exhaustion. The sinking realization that no matter how much I achieved, it was never enough.

It took hours of therapy (and a lot of stubborn resistance) to realize that my perfectionism wasn’t just an annoying habit—it was something that had pushed me way past my limits for years.

Why This Space Exists

I know what it’s like to have creative ideas that never make it out of your head. To have big goals but feel paralyzed by the fear of not doing them right.

And when people tell you to just start, it almost physically hurts—because the idea of doing something imperfectly feels impossible.

But here’s the truth: The only way forward is through.

Through the discomfort. Through the self-doubt. Through the messy middle where nothing looks how you want it to—but where the real magic happens.

That’s what I share here. Not vague “just do it” advice, but real strategies to help you break through the overthinking, the procrastination, the creative paralysis.

Because I know what it’s like to be in the middle of it—I’m still in it, writing my debut novel while constantly battling the urge to make every sentence perfect.

I get it. And I know it’s hard. But I also know you can create incredible things—even without doing them perfectly.

A Few Fun Facts About Me

📖 I’m currently writing a fantasy romance novel—which means daily negotiations with my inner perfectionist over who’s really in charge.

💍 I’m married to my high-school sweetheart.

🐱 I have two (Ragdoll) cats, that I’ve named after Disney characters: Olaf ⛄️ & Arlo 🦕.

📚 I’m a bookaholic, and the obsession started in 5th grade with the Harry Potter books. And my love for romantasy? That started waaaay before romantasy was even a thing—at 16, when I read Twilight 🍎
