Rebuilding the Lab: How I Structured My Life for Peace
Whenever people look at my schedule, the reaction is usually some version of, “Are you crazy?” Between teaching high school science full-time during the school year, running a summer day camp for over 40 high-energy kids, and running a math, science, and ACT/SAT tutoring business on the side, my calendar looks packed. From the outside,… Read more

What being fired taught me
I KNOW it’s cliché, but being fired taught me that when one door closes, another one opens. But that’s not what I was thinking as I was listening and processing the words my Principal told me when she was telling me that I was terminated after telling the exact same thing to my coworker about… Read more

Good Enough
Lately I’ve been reflecting on where I used to be and where I am currently. I tend to focus on my career and education, but the growth in my faith, emotional state, and mindset has been significant over the last 6 years. 6 years ago I was married to my husband who refused to go… Read more

Breaking out of the cycle
I know I haven’t written in awhile. I have had so many things on my mind to write about, but I was stuck in this cycle. This cycle of dating people who were just there to fill the void. Time-wasters. I kept trying to date the same type of person. The person that wasn’t emotionally… Read more

Waiting for my unicorn
A lot of people ask me why I’m single. Why, despite everything going for me, I can’t land me a husband. Or boyfriend. Or a guy that makes it past one date if I’m being honest. It’s because I’m waiting for my unicorn. My unicorn is basically a male version of myself. I want someone… Read more

We watched (or listened, rather) to an episode of “The Color of Compromise” and had an open and honest discussion afterwards. I was… Read more

Sifting through the garbage
Back by popular demand. I am here to update you all on the dating life of Jen. A few weeks ago, in a moment of weakness, I downloaded the dating apps again. After finally letting go of St. Louis (sorry Cal), I found myself a mixture of bored and buzzed. So what better solution other… Read more

Why I’m not afraid of being single
First of all, before I dive into the topic of my dating life, I must pre-cursor with: I am completely and utterly full of joy in every aspect of my life. My career, my education (on-going), my family, my friends, and my faith. Everything literally feels like a dream. Needless to say, I have zero… Read more

Positive mindset and manifestations
Please note: I am 100 percent aware that things could be worse. I am not here to say anything negative about anyone, as I do not know everything they’re going through and so trying my best to see things with grace and love despite the hardships I am experiencing. Three months ago I finally woke up… Read more

Moving on from disappointment
If you’ve been reading my posts, you’ve likely noticed a trend of me writing about heartbreak and hard situations that have shaped me into the person I am today. Ever since going through my divorce, I have been on the defense with every person I meet. I settled just for the wrong attention after my… Read more
