Success & Finding My Way Back
The past few years, I’ve grown and changed in ways I couldn’t have even imagined. I’ve had wonderful experiences that have shaped me and changed me as a person. I hold gratitude for them all. Still, there are sometimes I wish I could go back to the old Faith. The old version of me with…

Synthesize
As a writer, I often find it difficult to synthesize things I enjoy and the work I have done into one, singular career path or funnel.

We create…

My Place to Write
I can’t remember a definitive moment in my life where it felt like, “Aha! I want to be a writer.” It was just always there. I was very fortunate in that my mother would always read to me from a very young age, so I developed a love for reading around age four or five…
