Bravery isn’t a one-size-fits-all experience. Sometimes, the bravest thing you can do is stand your ground and fight. Other times, it’s walking away. It can look like saying no, setting a boundary, or even choosing not to take it personally when someone you love is in a bad mood and lashes out (parenting teenagers anyone!?). […]

I recently had my TikTok account stolen.  Getting the account stolen felt like a gut punch. I know, it might sound ridiculous — it’s just social media, right? But I poured years of work into growing that account, building my brand, and turning it into an income stream. And then, in what felt like an […]

As a business owner, partner, activist, humanist, and mother of four, I spent years chasing the ever-elusive idea of balance. I thought if I could just crack the code—get the perfect routine, set the right boundaries, and optimize every second—I could finally juggle everything seamlessly. Spoiler alert: That version of balance is a myth. We’ve […]

There’s no way around it—art is activism. It always has been. From Vincent van Gogh’s The Potato Eaters, which illuminated the dignity and struggles of the working class, to Nina Simone’s haunting Strange Fruit, which exposed the horrors of racial violence—art has always been a mirror, a protest, a catalyst for change.

The world feels like it’s falling apart because, in many ways, it is. Systems are crumbling, old paradigms are shifting, and the weight of it all can feel overwhelming. But here’s the thing: in the midst of chaos, we have an extraordinary opportunity to unfollow the rules that no longer serve us and craft a […]

The other night, I had the privilege of attending an author talkback with one of my favorite writers, TJ Klune. If you know me, you know how much I adore reading, and TJ’s work has always held a special place in my heart. His stories are a beautiful blend of heart, humor, and humanity, and […]

Everything we’ve always known is shifting rapidly, and it can feel jarring and disorienting, to say the least. But the truth is, leadership has been evolving for a long time. There are, in essence, two types of leaders. The old-school authoritarian leader—the “do what I say, not what I do” kind—demands loyalty without earning it […]

You’ve probably rolled your eyes at the phrase “self-care” more times than you can count. For many people, it’s become one more item on an already jam-packed to-do list. Is this you?  But here’s the deal: self-care is a non-negotiable requirement for being the aligned, effective, conscious leader you’re meant to be. Yes, I said […]

Are you tired of holding back? Do you feel a constant tug-of-war between your ambitions (ambition, btw, is not a dirty word!) and self-doubt? Many of us are conditioned to play small, to downplay our achievements, and to limit our potential. This internal conflict, this quiet self-sabotage, stems from a deeply ingrained belief that you […]

I’ve been nurturing my broken heart and remembering that many things can be true at once. And what I know to be true is that YOU bring me joy. Focusing on what we can control, staying centered, grounded and present in the moments of life – these things bring me joy. I know it feels […]
