This year I’ve been dedicating more time to writing and have cultivated a series called Borderlands that, so far, has explored:

• the curious paradox of certainty and building resiliency

• our 5 senses and how they combine to create our proprioception

• the bigger picture of sensing: looking at interoception and interoception

I love breaking down bigger concepts into edible pieces and relating them to our everyday lives. In my experience, many people are somewhat daunted by science, scientific terms, and learning about emotions. I believe these can be made accessible in a relatable and disarming way, and that’s my intention!

My latest article in the Borderlands Series looks at the interaction between interoception and our moods, emotions and behaviors. For instance, maybe we find ourselves dwelling on some past betrayal and finding that our mood is souring by the minute. What if we were just a little dehydrated? How can we tell the difference? Read the article to find out more!

Subscription is free however, there is a paid subscription option that offers a vocal recording of the article (done by me) as well as tidbits about my writing process and some pieces of the first draft of the book I’m writing.
