There's a quiet role many of us step into in our 30s.

"Booked and Busy" sounds cute...until you realize you're tired, overwhelmed, and haven't had a moment to yourself in weeks. At some point, we stopped asking if we're okay and started proving how much we can handle instead. This is true for personal, work, life and just in general. Work-Life balance isn't just about time management. It's about boundaries. And more importantly, it's about choosing yourself without guilt. 

Let's be honest here, sometimes the club/bar scene just isn't it anymore. The crowds?  Overpriced drinks? And waking up the next day questioning your life choices? Hard PASS. My friends and I decided to be more intentional with our time together. And let me tell you...craft night is everything. 

Buckle down for this one because it's about to get real. Real vulnerable. Real personal.

Let me start with a little honesty: Im not the biggest fan of online dating.

One thing about me is that I love new experiences. From attending my first pottery class this year to skydiving. I love doing things that push me out of my comfort zone and remind me that life is meant to be lived, not just planned. 

My weight has fluctuated more times than I can count.

If you're a woman in your 30's and single, there's one question that seems to follow you everywhere.

For most of my adult life, I've been following a script.

I was born to two hardworking immigrants from Trinidad and Tobago. Hardworking. Disciplined. Sacrificial. The kind of parents who didn't play when it came to education. In our house, the formula was clear: Get good grades. Go to college. Earn your degree. Start your career. Get married. Start a family. Start your life.
