2023 is all about more in-person connection for me.  I have loooooooved being in my cozy Creative Cocoon for these past few years. It has allowed me to process grief, create space to heal, and write and publish my book. But it is time for me to emerge and be with people face-to-face, heart-to-heart. She […]

I just got back from Los Angeles surrounded by an amazing community gathering of women around She Builds at Meri Cherry’s Art Studio. La’Kita Williams moderated our panel which included Meri Cherry, Monica J. Sutton, and myself.  This event was so much fun, and I plan to do more of these in different cities around the world.  Anti-hustle is the antidote […]

Recently, I announced a retreat that I’m hosting alongside my business bestie, Jen Kem. Not only is Jen a close friend, but she’s also a top-notch, masterful marketer. We love supporting and collaborating together. It was so fun talking with Jen about my new book, She Builds. This summer, Jen and I are joining forces in The Big Book Deal Retreat, happening in Florence, […]

If you’ve been with me for a while, you’ve heard me mention my business bestie, Jennifer “Jen” Kem. She’s been a part of my Support Squad for over seven years. And she is a genius when it comes to messaging, marketing, and brand strategy. Last year, Jen led a retreat in the South of France that turned out to […]

As the darker, colder nights are here in Northern California, I’m feeling the pull to stay in bed a little longer and tuck my to-do list away, so I can fully enjoy the holidays. There’s tension between my future self and my present self. Can you relate? There’s the part of you who’s ready to […]

My last She Builds book event of the year happened last week in my own town Walnut Creek, California. I’m so grateful for Heather Anderson, founder of The Club, hosting an AWEmazing book launch party. The Club is an entrepreneurial community of inspiring women, and I’ve been a member for many years. You can learn […]

We did it! She Builds is making magic. People are reading, listening, and sharing with me along the way. From personal DMs to leaving reviews on Amazon and Goodreads. Every bit of love truly fills my cup. George finished listening to the audiobook this week and said some really sweet things that warmed my heart. […]

I hope you had a warm and cozy holiday with your family and friends. George, Zoe, and I went to my good friend Amy Ahlers’ house (with me toting my homemade casseroles and cranberry sauce), where we gathered with 16 incredibly inspiring people. Amy put a unique question on everyone’s placemat for them to answer […]

If you really knew me, you’d know I love to be cozy and comfy. My favorite moment of the day is when I get home, take off my bra, and lounge in my jammies. #DaytimeCouchtime As we move through the pandemic haze, I realize that authentic connection is the currency of 2023. We need to […]

I am filled with so much love and gratitude right now. Grace Kraaijvanger gathered The Hivery community to celebrate She Builds book release party on Tuesday night. The event was sold out with 50+ people there––including my family, my Support Squad (close friends, my life coach, my therapist), and current and past clients. It was […]

And if you pre-ordered your copy, you can start listening right now on Audible or a physical copy should be on your doorstep really […]
