I spent years waiting for a more accessible world, and now Iā€™m helping build it: join us on World Hearing Day, March 3, 2027, for the Hearing Access & Inclusion Unconference and help shape what comes next at www.bit.ly/hearing2027.

Weā€™re building the first Hearing Access & Inclusion Unconference & Hackathon, and youā€™re invited behind the scenes.

Join us for our first live planning session as we share the vision for the event, what weā€™re hoping to create, and what it will take to bring it to life. Weā€™ll talk through the event agenda, hackathon ideas, sponsors and partners, outreach, timeline, accessibility needs, volunteers, speakers, community participation, and the biggest gaps we still need help filling.

This event is being designed with the hearing loss, Deaf, hard of hearing, disability, accessibility, technology, healthcare, and innovation communities at the table from the beginning.

If you have an idea, a connection, a resource, a skill, or simply want to help build something that could move hearing access forward, come join the conversation.

I wanted to be sad, but my sister was like.... Nope.

Had an interview in the city today and then celebrated with LOS TACOS No.1 because personal growth for me apparently looks like professional ambition followed by tacos in Times Square.

There is something kind of surreal about sitting in a room talking about work that feels deeply aligned, then stepping back into the city that shaped so much of who you are. The girl who learned how to navigate New York with hearing loss, big feelings, and a lot to prove would be very impressed with the woman who showed up today.

Anyway, I did my part, said what I came to say, and the tacos were excellent. Los Tacos No. 1, name is correct, no notes. šŸ˜

Hearing loss does not end at the audiology appointment.

For so many of us, especially when hearing disability is invisible, it follows us into dating, doctorā€™s appointments, job interviews, emergency planning, parenting, workplace access, family dynamics, and the quiet questions we carry alone. I am creating the program I needed when I was younger, before I became a mom, that I wish my bosses had access to, and that I wish my mom had seen.

Project Hearing is building support that sees the whole person: the technology, the access needs, the communication breakdowns, the exhaustion, the identity work, the internalized ableism, and the scripts we wish we had. If you have hearing loss, love or support someone with hearing loss, manage someone with hearing loss, or are raising a child with hearing loss, I am asking you to answer the call. Tell me what you are carrying, what you wish existed, and what would actually help. We are building it now.

Image Description: A warm cream-colored Project Hearing graphic with torn paper notes taped around a large central message that reads, ā€œHearing loss does not end at the audiology appointment.ā€ The notes name areas hearing loss can affect, including dating, doctorā€™s appointments, job interviews, parenting, emergency planning, workplace access, family communication, burnout, identity, and confidence. A banner below reads, ā€œProject Hearing is building support for the whole person.ā€ At the bottom are the Project Hearing logo, a call to action that says, ā€œAnswer the call. Tell me what youā€™re carrying, what you wish existed, and what would actually help,ā€ plus a QR code and the link www.bit.ly/ProjectHear

2025 was a year of independence for me. Onward to doing more stuff by myself in 2026.

Let them.

Let people be stupid. Let them be loud, wrong, dramatic, performative, messy.

Let them think they know better. Let them post the thinkpiece. Let them have the last word. Let them misread you, underestimate you, misinterpret everything you stand for.

Let them.

Because most people are doing their bestā€”with what they know, what theyā€™ve lived, and what theyā€™re carrying.

And honestly? Trying to manage other peopleā€™s perceptions, reactions, and journeys will drain you faster than anything else.

So Iā€™m choosing peace. Iā€™m choosing focus. Iā€™m choosing not to fix, not to prove, not to perform. Just to be.

Let them. And let you live.

Trying to ease my way back into this spaceā€¦

No big comeback post, just a little reminder to myself that itā€™s okay to take up space again.

The last fewā€¦ however many days? weeks? months? years? ... have been a blur. Between motherhood, work, trying to keep a grip on my mental health, and just existing while people around me have a lot of big feelings... Itā€™s been a lot.

Some days I feel grounded. Other days Iā€™m floating through it all, just doing my best to keep going.

And honestly? People have been weird. The internet has been weird. The state of the world has been weird. Conversations have been weird. Energy has been weird. Boundaries feel weird. Even the silence has been weird.

But despite all that, Iā€™ve been sitting on so much content. So many thoughts, technology, moments, quiet wins, friendships, photos, chaos, beauty.

I miss creating just for me. No strategy. No pressure. Just the joy of sharing and connecting.

So here I am, not with a plan or a schedule, but with an intention: to come back to the parts of this that I loved. The parts I love. The storytelling, the self-expression, the honest glimpses into life as it actually is.

If you're still here, hi. Iā€™ve missed you.
Letā€™s see where this goes. šŸ–¤
