Why This Journey Matters

I've always believed that life's greatest adventures often begin when we face our biggest challenges. From navigating corporate boardrooms to trekking Arctic landscapes and now thriving with stage IV cancer, I've learned that every horizon holds new possibilities for discovery, growth, and extraordinary living.

My mission is to light the path for others facing life's harshest seasons. I show that challenge and joy coexist through adventure stories, honest reflections on living with stage IV cancer, and a commitment to exploring life's wild places. I aim to inspire others to embrace each day with courage, find adventure in unexpected places, and transform their struggles into sources of strength.

What You'll Find Here

In "The Edge of Now," I explore what it means to exist between two realities—to live at the edge of now with clarity, purpose, and acceptance. This isn't about fighting against reality but about learning to live fully within it.

I share reflections on:

• Finding courage and resilience in the face of the unknown

• How vulnerability becomes a superpower, deepening connections and fueling inner strength

• Discovering beauty in unexpected places, whether in grand adventures or quiet moments

• The journey to authentic connection, especially during challenging life transitions

My writing isn't just about telling stories, it's about sharing experiences that can light the way for others. Whether you're facing your health challenges, seeking adventure guidance, seeking inspiration in life's difficult moments, or wanting to build deeper connections with your community, I hope these stories will show you how embracing uncertainty can lead to extraordinary living.
