What is Totally Unexpected?

Welcome to Totally Unexpected! a weekly blog where you can find my free flowing, stream of consciousness, unfiltered thoughts, and ideas. I process the twists and turns of life by sharing it with you. I hope this also helps you process your own struggles and joys.

I think of myself as a juggler: I am the mother of five adopted children and the co-director of Chabad Lubavitch of Montana together with my sushi loving husband. I’m trying live a better life, a healthier life, a happier one. I’m doing this for you, and for myself and in that cycle, I find the thing I treasure most: community. You are my people. The lovers, the fighters, the dreamers. Come with me.

What You Can Expect

I publish essays every week. One week is a fresh, new essay, and the following week is a re-release of an archived essay from my original blog, www.clearasmud.blog.

Totally Unexpected! Podcast

On the Totally Unexpected! podcast I sit down with guests to find out the one unexpected moment that changed their lives. Guests range from scholars, to healers, to moms just like me. I want to talk with everyone because we all have an unexpected story that shapes who we are.
