I started my week off with a 4-hour lunch with one of my besties, Jen Kem. I love that we live just 3 miles from each other and can connect in person for long leisurely lunches. We both run companies and we’re raising families, so we can talk about sooooo much. In one conversation we […]

Quick Q for you, Do you ever feel like throwing in the towel? For me, this summer has been a really emotional time. There were moments where I wanted to opt out of everything. But instead, I opted out of some things, not #allthethings. I slowed down my Instagram posts, I took a pause on […]

Today, I have something personal to share with you. 10 months ago I started unpacking the next book that was stirring in my soul. My book journey led me to my origin story. The parts of my past that built my resilience and desire to create more love in the world. 6 months ago I […]

Do you find yourself wondering… Am I doing enough? Am I using my time wisely? Am I focusing on the right projects? Am I setting the right goals? Most of all… Am I doing what I need to do to build a sustainable, meaningful business? Or am I headed straight for burnout? After being an […]

I’m popping into your inbox today with some great news! If you felt like you been playing instead of slaying your to do list all summer (hello #vacationmode!), we’re about to change that. I have a quick Q for you… Is this slowing you down? 1) You’re doing all-the-things yourself, and you know you need […]

I remember, several years ago, my husband and I were sitting on our living room floor. I had recently called out of my job because I didn’t have enough money to put gas in my car to get there. And here we are, creating our first vision boards, surrounded by magazine cutouts of inspiring words, […]

I started at zero. Zero followers, zero subscribers, zero income. Even for entrepreneurs that have built multiple businesses, every time you build it’s like you’re starting from scratch. Of course the second or third time around, you’re a little wiser because you have more information, more experience and more confidence. I grew Simple Green Smoothies […]

Here’s what I believe… REPRESENTATION MATTERS. I speak on stages around the world. And many times I’m one of the few women, and usually the only person of color. My father is African American. My mother is half Chinese and half Caucasian. There is a strong pull to tell my story, to uplift others, and […]

One of my biggest fears when I sold my half of Simple Green Smoothies in 2016 was that no one would invite me to speak on their stage or ask me to be a guest on their podcast. Which dives into a deeper human fear that I believe can live deeply in all of us… […]

I’m home after 2 weeks of summer travel. We visited Boston, Puerto Rico, and Washington D.C. The best part of my trip will surprise you and can be something you can start using right away to feel more energized, inspired and connected. But first, let me tell you how the trip started. I was invited […]

I believe we are being called to do business in a different way. To slow down, to listen, and to trust the wisdom of our bodies. Oftentimes as we’re building businesses at such a fast pace, we create these self-imposed deadlines, and create a lot of forcing, pushing, and hustling to exhaustion. What if burnout […]

Have you ever tried to reframe rejection like this: “Accept rejection as a grand indication that you’re trying.” I know, it can be hard to see rejection as a good thing. We think: – Why was I not good enough? – Why do I deserve this? – Am I not worthy? But we rarely stop […]
