How Kate's Climb up the Hill During 'This Is Us' Was a Turning Point

I’ve been a die-hard “This Is Us” fan since the pilot aired in 2016, and an especially huge admirer of Kate Pearson (Chrissy Metz), because I see so much of myself in her. However, Kate moved me more than ever in the most recent episode, aptly titled “The Hill.” Coming on the heels of a [...]

How Kate's Shining Moment on 'This Is Us' Helped Me as a Trauma Survivor

If you’re a committed fan of the television show “This Is Us,” then you’re already aware that the series is full of deep, emotional moments.

Why This Text From a Friend Calmed My Worst Panic Attack in Years

I haven’t had a panic attack in probably about two years. At least, not one severe enough that I remember, anyways. I used to have terrible and frequent panic attacks when I started college. I had experienced them before that through middle and high school, but they were never that bad. However, the last couple [...]

What are your favorite childhood memories? 🦄🍧🎂

I grew up with a tiger mom and a rough childhood.

Now I have three little ones of my own. They are wild and crazy and fun.

This photo is Eve and Tom having a ball at our local Japanese place. I ordered their favorite chicken fried rice. They wanted to dance, wave the chopsticks like magic wands, and eat with their hands.

Their mom would say that's bad table manners. I say let them live. Let them be free.

I want them to love childhood, to love themselves, so they can love others.
