It took me a long time to accept what kind of friend I am because I know I am not normal…

I do not like spending an entire whole day with anyone, but I will sit silently with you through the darkest, hardest crisis, for as long as you need me.

I don’t travel with people, but will fly to Hong Kong just for one day, just to catch up with you.

I will forget your birthday, but will genuinely think of you often.

I hate talking on the phone, but will write you a long card on how amazing you are.

I will likely have different opinions, but will bury a body with you, no questions asked. (Jk, ofc 😬)

I am capped out on friends I see regularly, but if you chase your dreams, I will do everything in my power to support you.

I have exactly one friend who is possessive and sensitive and I do not have room for any more. That seat’s taken.

I know I am not for everyone, but I am so SO SOOO grateful for the friends who love me in their own way and seem to be ok with how I love them. 😆☺️♥️

Ellie has the hardest time starting her homework but once she starts, she always finishes.

I was so tired of incentivizing her with snacks and iPad time after, etc…. so I came up with this.

She could just start with 15 minutes, then take a 5 minute break. Check off as she goes.

She said no to 15, but yes to 5 mins to start. Whatever, I didn’t care.

Because I knew it would work. And it did. She finished in 20 minutes.
☺️☺️☺️

I cannot adequately express just how grateful I am for Highland Park Fight Club.

I first visited just for fun… but it felt like the right place I could intentionally be part of.

I really needed a place where the guys felt like older brothers and the strongass, welcoming & kind women were in similar life stages.

Thank you SO much to the owners. These four gentlemen — in their own right, outside of jiu jitsu — are accomplished, ridiculously talented & truly brilliant. But have collectively created a space for an incredible community.

Jason Eisner - hands down one of the best nogi coaches, but your philosophy on life & how you treat people is what draws all of us from all over Los Angeles.

Will Allen - could prolly do anything, but your instinct for new ideas & genuine love of seeing people come together blesses us again & again.

Kelby Wood - cannot not crack a joke even in the most serious of times. And also sees and quietly attends to anyone who may need it.

Andy 🤙 - we know you do so much for all of us & also know there is much more we don’t see. You are a big reason why I help when I can.

All the coaches & members who have very busy lives but contribute 🥹😭 — Angela Cheung who makes our women’s group meaningful, the most talented actor of our generation Wesam Keesh who always, always supports, kat who is sooo amazing even though we’re fu***ng old and immature. And one of my oldest and dearest friends 23mikeb , the most solid, consistent, reliable & loyal. ♥️🫶Everyone.

Every single coach & member - I am so so grateful for each of you.

Long live HLPFC!!!
♥️♥️♥️
CONGRATS, 2 YEARS!!!!!
☺️☺️☺️

Motherhood is kicking my ass right now. As soon as they wake up until school drop off and as soon as they come home until they sleep — I’m on overdrive.

Social life, hormonal changes, TikTok, boys (??!!!!!), academics… there is just so much new territory and all of it is outside the control & comfort of mommy’s arms.

When it gets really bad, I close my eyes and tell myself… this is the job. Nothing else, this is the most important job.

I’m fu***ng tired. But… I’m also kinda loving it…

As promised:

I don’t have recipes for anything but this is the gist of it.

- Oil, high heat, cook diced onions til golden
- add shrimp with garlic
- very important to not overcook shrimp. Only delicious when succulent
- remove shrimp, set aside
- in same oil, add more oil if needed, cook tomatoes til it browns a bit
- smash to let the juices out
- add more garlic and capers
- add cooked pasta
- add some pasta water if dry
- sprinkle in parm or pecorino cheese
- serve with more parm cheese and shrimp on the side
