Have you ever had a kind thought about someone but kept it to yourself? I’m so guilty of this.

It can cause you to doubt yourself, question if you made the right decision, and worry about jeopardizing your relationship with that person.

Nothing has taught me more about the power of taking one step at a time than training for my first race.

If you’ve ever worked in a way that doesn’t come naturally to you, you know that it can feel hard.

I was so nervous about going to an event centered on growth, and yet, I lead sessions like this for a living. It was a good reminder of what it feels like to be on the other side.

I’m embarrassed to tell you what my lunch “breaks” used to look like (but I will anyway).

One of the things I’ve struggled with the most is how to handle small requests that come from people who are not my clients or my team.

We worked to pinpoint the one major shift they could each make to unlock their authenticity on stage. And one by one, the magic happened.

Even though I dubbed 2024 my year of self-love, I’m actually loving myself even better in 2025.

The first time, I didn’t want to go because of what it would have taken away from me. But this time, I’m going because of what I will gain.

What my therapist helped me uncover is that I spend a lot of time going “above and beyond” for others—often without being expected to.

It’s a great strength to have… and it can also really stress out my team.

I figured out a way to make it work, and it’s a perfect example of living my definition of work/life harmony.

I wanted to write about this topic because I think this is one of the hardest balances to strike as a leader.

I’m not sure that I’ve ever expressed how much it means to me that you’re here, reading my words, week after week.

I know that addressing feedback in a timely manner is what builds trust, and as a leader, I have made a commitment to our team to address things when I feel them.

That one realization is what led to all the changes I described in my last two posts.

I love being a part of the process, and also, I knew I needed to free up some mental capacity to work on my book. So, I decided to challenge myself.
