I’m somewhere off the beaten path, letting the rhythm of a new place guide me—trading stories with strangers, journal in hand, watching life unfold in the spaces between words. I’ve always been drawn to the spaces in between: the untold stories, the moments that go unnoticed, the connections we almost miss.

My book, The Empathy Deficit, is my offering to a world that feels increasingly disconnected. It’s a reminder that empathy begins with attention, and that the smallest acts of care ripple out to create profound change. It’s an invitation to slow down, lean in, and rediscover the small moments of care that shape our lives and communities.
