🎙️ Fueling My Passion: Why I’m Saying YES to More Speaking in 2025

Oprah's Best Grad Gifts

Why I Stepped Back from Blogging

Hi friends! It’s been a hot minute since I’ve posted here—because I’ve been busy doing what I love most: talking directly with college students and the parents who support them.

From national media contributions (like my CNN Wellness articles) to live Q&As on campus, every opportunity to connect face-to-face reinforces my belief that real conversation changes lives.

I’m incredibly honored that The ULTIMATE College Student Health Handbook was featured in Oprah Daily’s 2025 Graduation Gift Guide this spring—because empowering students with practical health know-how has always been my mission.

I’m Re-energized and Ready to Speak

As we head into the back-to-school season, I’m actively seeking more speaking opportunities—on campus, in parent webinars, or for professional organizations. I offer separate talks for students and parents (because yes, these are VERY different conversations,  questions, and concerns  in each group).

If you’re a school, nonprofit, or company looking for engaging, evidence-based, judgment-free education on everything from hangovers to homesickness, I’d love to connect.

Let’s have the conversations no one’s having—but everyone needs!
