Philosophy and history are two of my greatest loves—I lose myself in questions about what makes a life well-lived and how the tapestry of human stories connects past to present, finding in both a practical toolkit for navigating the world with more wisdom and compassion. But I'm equally drawn to sitcoms like FRIENDS and MODERN FAMILY. I always absorb power from those easy daily plots. And then there's music, whether it's folk, pop, or classicals, it's my constant companion and the best way I know to process feelings when words aren't enough.
