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 […]

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 […]
