Two weeks later and still feeling inspired! Honored to deliver the keynote at BGSU’s Soap Operas in Pop Culture Conference. Amanda Reyes wrote a wonderful recap of the weekend—stay tuned as I bring some of these amazing panels and voices to #TheLocherRoom. Click link in profile to read her recap.

Yup, that’s me. You’re probably wondering how I got here.

As a lifelong fan of Guiding Light, I was gutted when it got canceled after seventy-two years. With nothing left tying me to New York, I packed up my life and headed west to Los Angeles. Since then, things have gotten… well, a little soapy.

Excited about this new season!!

Soaps have been the through line of my life, from a kid glued to Guiding Light to a creator finding new ways to #ReigniteTheLight. I’m thrilled to be presenting at the Soap Operas in Pop Culture Conference this weekend, where I’ll share how a lifelong fandom evolved into storytelling of my own.

#BoldAndBeautiful You’re telling me… if your character is diagnosed with any kind of illness the initial response is “I can’t let anyone know…” Eric, Taylor, Liam - and that’s just recent memory. let’s switch up the trope next time #Soaps

LinkedIn post from "Elmo from Sesame Street", featuring Elmo’s face as the profile picture. The post reads: "Hi LinkedIn, Unfortunately Elmo was recently laid off because of the federal budget cuts. Elmo worked at Sesame Street for 45 years. Elmo is sad. Elmo loved his time at Sesame Street. Elmo is going to miss his friends Big Bird, Cookie Monster, Ernie, Bert, Abby, Grover, Count and so many more. They made Elmo’s day so much better. Elmo is looking for his next opportunity. Elmo is good at so many things. Like hugs. Elmo LOVES giving hugs. Elmo can also recognize the letter E, spell his name, feel empathy, sing “Elmo’s Song” and ask how you are doing. Elmo is open to full-time or freelance roles.If you hear of any opportunities, or want a hug, let’s connect. And if you want to help Elmo and his friends, please urge your local congressperson to save Public Media. While Elmo is sad, Elmo is excited for what’s next. And one more thing: Elmo loves you."

Hi Elmo, contact our HR team. Let's talk!

Pausing between reps to take this selfie of my arms because they are poppin!

Sometimes when I see myself in the mirror, I can’t believe I’m staring at myself!

Lonely Dog staring at the door…

I’ve been back at work for a week without my favorite pup, Belly. Clearly not the only one missing him. Button waits for her brother to come back 😭

#Dogs #RainbowBridge #Grief

Yes to all the above! He was a special one.

From one of our first walks. Belly only a few months old back in July 2012. An Aussiedoodle with so much energy and love to share.

I walked him twice a day, five days a week, for an hour each walk, for 4 years before becoming his human sibling’s nanny. So much time spent with this amazing creature

On Thursday April 17, before I left work for two weeks off, I sad goodbye to Belly. In my heart, I simply had a feeling I wouldn’t see him again. My heart aches that I was right, but I know he’s running around having the time of his life wherever he may be.

I was a dog walker in my early LA days and one of my first clients became my best friend… Belly was the sweetest pup and has walked me through many stages of life these past 13 years. He will be missed 💔

Was it Benjamin Franklin who declared chest day as the best day? I can’t recall, but this is me, standing in front of a mirror, shirtless, post check workout+cardio. Feeling really good and happy with the progress I’ve made since January!

Friday Fitness check in… had a convo with my trainer yesterday, excited for the next stage of this journey. Ready to rock and roll through it.
