Creating World Peace | One Relationship at a Time
Love by Design | Available Now
Are you ready to build the relationship you deserve and desire?
If you feel dissatisfied or disillusioned in your romantic partnership, you’re not alone. Many of us were raised with the idea that true love means finding our “other half” and that a spark is the best foundation for successful long-term partnerships and marriages. We drive ourselves crazy chasing that feeling… but what if our understanding of what makes a strong coupledom is flawed?
I am fascinated by the way connections work. I am most passionate about exploring how they lead to meaningful and fulfilling relationships, the way they help us grow, how they contribute to our awareness of self and others, and how all of these could be seen similarly and differently across relationships, cultures and organizations.

Love By Design Book has been making its way into the hands and hearts of readers, and I couldn’t be more grateful.
It’s been hitting many milestone achievements in the 7 months since its launch, getting recognized by various Barnes & Noble stores in LA, added to the shelves of many public libraries including Omaha, and even featured as the Book of the Month at Heathrow Airport. ✈️📚
It’s been making waves, and I’ve been thrilled to ride them—sharing its message on podcasts, at events, and in interviews. Through all these conversations, the goal has always been the same: to help people create the love they deserve.
🤍 If you haven’t picked up your copy yet, now’s a great time—whether you prefer a hardcover, audiobook, or Kindle version.
👉🏼 There’s a special discount on Amazon right now—link in bio.

One of the biggest life lessons that I try to remind myself of daily is: Let nothing weigh you down. Tomorrow waits with open skies and quiet hope. Even when the path is hard to find, trust that it’s there. Be gentle with yourself, and let the world unfold in its own time. Wishing you all a peaceful and rewarding holiday weekend 💕🙌🏼💕

In a 2015 viral blog post that popularized the term, Heather Plett described holding space as “being willing to walk alongside another person in whatever journey they’re on, without judging them, making them feel inadequate, trying to fix them, or trying to impact the outcome.”
Holding space is the act of being fully present with our loved one, without judgment or distraction, so they can process their feelings and feel safe to be vulnerable. Have you ever had someone hold space for you, or have you done it for someone else? Share your story or thoughts below 🖤
