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...

When Your Job No Longer Defines You

For years, I took tremendous pride in the fact that I worked for some of the world’s most famous brands. They were iconic, and I was able to ride the coattails of their tremendous prestige. It’s as though we were fused. I was them, and they were me. Until a fatef...

The JOY Decision Framework: Your Path to Clarity and Confidence

You’re a high-achieving leader with fierce determination. The downside? Decision fatigue is likely a daily struggle. It’s not just about making big decisions — it’s the relentless cycle of small decisions.

The ones that should be so ...

I’m going to tell you a little story.

I am a naturally positive person. It shows up in every personality test I take. I can always see the bright side of a situation. I naturally look to solve problems, roll up my sleeves and get to it. 

Apparently, this can be wildly irritating.

At least it was ...
