“I want to feel confident, present, energized, playful, flow, rested, relaxed, ease, excited, connected, joyful, engaged.” “I am also leading powerful retreats for inspiring visionary leaders.” “My community is connected to the message and the movement.” This is an excerpt from my Future Vision that I recorded in 2017. Click here to read and listen. Many of these things have happened […]

Since it’s my book baby’s birthday month, I’m in full celebration and appreciation of how far I’ve come.  I remember when I told my lit agent I’d get my book proposal to him in 2018. He didn’t receive it until November 2020.  And then my book wasn’t published until another two years after that! Dreams take time. […]

Since She Builds came into the world, it’s been an epic show-up year for me. The book opened door after door, being a guest on 30+ podcasts, delivering keynotes, participating at women in business events, and hosting in-person workshops and retreats. Over the past year, I’ve been… And you know what? Everything above lived in a journal […]

On this day last year, November 15, 2022, my latest book, She Builds hit the shelves. I can’t fully express how I felt walking into a Barnes and Noble (with my mom!) or an Indie Bookstore and seeing She Builds front and center, right alongside Michelle Obama’s latest book. #bookbirthdaytwins  So many people answered the rally call […]

I shared a behind-the-scenes video tour of my office and event space that you can watch here. Having a physical space to hold the expansiveness for my creative ideas has been giving me so much inspiration. Since you’re part of my community, here’s what I know to be true… You’re ambitious.You’re creative.You’re mission-driven. You desire […]

I have EXCITING news to share with you.  And the story of how I got there shows how important it is to get clarity on what you want (even if you’re not sure when or how it will happen).  I created my first Vision Board in 2012 and declared I wanted to make $30,000 per month. During […]

Something I’ve been noticing as we try to balance All. The. Things… We’re struggling with mental burnout. Our to-do lists are like a bottomless mimosa at brunch. Too many open tabs. Pulled in a million directions. Endless requests for our time.  If we want to feel ALIVE + ALIGNED in 2024 we need the antidote to burnout. We need […]

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 […]
