Fresh off a 3rd back surgery, I’m standing on the edge of what I hope is a better chapter. Chronic pain has been my constant shadow these past few years. But despite setbacks, I’m choosing to believe in a pain-free future. Here’s to hard-earned resilience and to building a life not defined by pain.

I had such a great time at #SXSWEDU in Austin, TX. I led sessions, connected with friends old and new, and signed some books! Loved this note about seeing #justiceinvolved youth as more than their mistake. May that be your friendly reminder today! PS: something cool is in the works……more soon!
