I want to spark ideas and conversations and inspire people to take active roles in their communities, relationships and their well-being.

I had a really kind of yucky divorce and it was really challenging to get over that.

It was a long time in the making, my divorce. One day became less special than the next, and pretty soon, we ceased all conversation. It is a sad day when you have nothing left to say.

I was a girl and became a woman. Something about having the freedom at home to be in the position I wanted, to have the people I wanted, was empowering.

It's inspiring, I think, for women out there to see I'm a regular person. I am the every woman who's struggled with my weight.

What's the difference between tough love and acting like a jerk?

I am not a natural dancer.
