Who I Am
As @thatdarnchat, I’ve built a community of over 1 million across platforms by highlighting the value of domestic labor and naming dynamics like the nag paradox and weaponized incompetence that shape our lives. My work has been featured in places like Business Insider, Good Housekeeping, and HuffPost. I’m the author of No More Mediocre and co-host of the Time to Lean podcast, where I dig into care, culture, and what it actually takes to tackle inequity.
I’m a mother of two, a gardener, an audiobook enthusiast, and a neighbor who believes care is both a collective responsibility and a powerful force for change. You’ll find me skipping small talk for porch conversations, listening to audiobooks in the garden, or blasting Mariah Carey with the windows down. I believe in the magic of fairy gardens, the joy of knick-knacks, and the power of regularly eating popsicles on the porch. If there’s a cause I care about, I’m all in—fiery, curious, and radically hopeful.
