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 […]

Do you use a notes app in your phone? In my iPhone I have 5,660 notes!  How many do you have? For me, my notes app is my digital filing cabinet. I keep my to-do list, shopping list, book notes, business ideas, and so much more in there. It’s a place of all the things […]

Hustle culture isn’t working. A friend of mine recently told me hustle is a season, not a lifestyle. There are times when you need to “push” to make it to the finish line on an important goal or project. But only for a season, not a long-term solution. Confession… I’m in push mode right now. […]

Writing my new book has reminded me of the nonlinear process of creativity. Everything takes longer than planned. When I think I’m done, the finish line just moves further ahead. My to-do list is like a bottomless mimosa––it just keeps refilling. There’s always more to do. Can you relate? When you’re building with intention, it […]

Wow! She Builds is hitting shelves in 3 weeks! The books have been printed and I received my author copies yesterday. I’m SO excited to hold my book baby in my hands; a dream 8 years in the making! We’re throwing a series of parties (in person and online) to celebrate and you’re invited! At […]
