The INTENT blog is a chronicle of my intention and search to find more meaning, more joy, and more balance in my life. My hope is that by telling my story – and those of others – I can share some of the wisdom I have gathered from friends, experts, and family as well as inspire others with my own successes (and failures).

Beyond all else, my heartfelt intention is for the Intent blog and app to spark a global conversation about living with intent, one that provides hope to those who feel dissatisfied, encourages those who are eager to discover their own passions, and gives us all the opportunity to support one another in our quest for balance and purpose, connection, and joy.

I hope you will be motivated by the changes I make and are inspired by others’ stories, intrigued by some of the fascinating scientific findings, and encouraged and supported by the insights you come across along the way. I also hope you will share your intents and experiences on Intent.com or our Intent app.
