This isn’t your average blog—it’s a cocktail of memory, mischief, and meaning, shaken with soul and served with sass. Empathy on the Rocks is where reflections come rimmed with rebellion and stories stir up something deeper. From bittersweet flashbacks to bold truths, every tale is poured with intention and garnished with grit. Whether you're here to laugh, linger, or lean into the messy beauty of it all, I’m glad you pulled up a seat. Settle in, sip slowly, and let the stories do what they do best—connect, challenge, and comfort.

Why I Write

Whether it’s a trip down memory lane or a heartfelt reflection, I write to connect. To remind us that empathy isn’t soft—it’s strong, and it’s what binds us. I write to laugh. I write to encourage. I write to challenge my own (and others’ thinking).

What You'll Find Here

Think of this blog as my open journal, my cocktail napkin of thoughts, and my invitation to share a drink with the messy, meaningful parts of being human.
