Last week, I had a full-circle moment.

I was invited to speak to a team at Campbell’s—a company that shaped so much of my corporate journey. I spent three years there, building brands, leading teams, and even co-creating a mentoring program that’s still going strong, serving six hundred associates....

If I’m being honest, I’ve wanted to launch a podcast for a long time.

But I hesitated.

The usual voices crept in—What if no one listens? Can I really do this? Aren’t there already a million podcasts out there?

And then one day, I got clear:
If even one person hears an episode that shifts somethin...

Somewhere along the way, we got the message that speaking up was dangerous.

Not overtly, of course. No one stood at a podium and said, “Be quiet if you want to be taken seriously.” But we learned through subtle glances, passed-over promotions, and the hush that follows when a woman says what everyo...

There’s a difference between momentum and a milestone.

One keeps you moving.

The other stops you in your tracks—and changes you.

That’s what a loud win feels like.

It’s not just something that happens to you.

It’s something that rewrites you.

I just returned from speaking at Harvard.
(Even typ...

You’re a high achiever.

You move fast. You carry a lot. You lead like it’s second nature.

And still, you often wonder:

“What did I even do this month?”

That’s not because you’re unfocused. It’s because when you’re operating at your level—when excellence is your norm—you rarely pause to recognize...

There’s a rhythm to your life. The life of a high-achieving woman who gets. it. done.
 

You move fast. You deliver results. You don’t miss a beat.
But lately? It’s starting to feel more like a loop than a life.

From the outside, it looks like success. And to be fair, it is. You’ve built a career mo...

Put Me In, Coach—I'm SO Ready to Bloom

I played sports from middle school all the way through college.
I practiced. I prepared. I ran. I sprinted. I played hard. I rested.
And then I did it all over again.

(sounds a lot like corporate life, doesn’t it?)

I was beat up and bruised—but I loved the gam...

There’s just something about spring, isn’t there?

Almost every winter I think it’s going to stay forever. The cold, gray, wintry mix. And then one day, it’s warmer and the trees are budding and the tulips start blooming. And I think, oh yes, here you are spring, right on time and so very needed.

T...

I scroll LinkedIn daily.
I see the photos.

Some radiate presence. Some scream hesitation.
And some say nothing at all.

Let’s be honest: a picture really is worth a thousand words.
So let me ask you—what is your current headshot saying?

Does it say you’re ready to lead a global team?
That you’re the o...

One of my clients sent me a gift. With it, a simple, thoughtful thank-you note:

“Indescribably thankful for your guidance, support, and wisdom. You encouraged me to be courageous in a time when I couldn’t muster it up for myself.”

I sat with those words for a while.

Because here’s the truth: ...

The Silent Struggle: When Confidence Holds You Back

You know that moment when you have something to say, a point to make, a seat at the table—and yet, you hesitate? It’s not that you don’t have the expertise, the ideas, or the ability. But something holds you back.

You’re not alone.

I distinctly ...

Honoring the Women Who Came Before Us

This week marks National Women’s History Week, first established by President Jimmy Carter (RIP) in 1980, when he proclaimed:

"From the first settlers who came to our shores, from the first American Indian families who befriended them, men and women have wor...
