What started with a broken zipper and a full-on breakdown turned into one of the most joy-filled nights I’ve had in a long time. This one’s about showing up anyway — even in jeans, even in tears — and being met with the kind of love that reminds you you’re right where you belong.

I’m all about finding the perfect balance between comfort and style, especially when you’re on your feet all day as a middle school choir director. Lately, my go-to shoes have been my trusty Adidas and my game-changing Vionic orthotic slippers. These aren’t gym shoes—they’re my everyday style staples that make dressing up fun and practical.
