Here's something I've stopped pretending isn't true: Nobody is ever ready. Not ready to have the hard conversation. Not ready to leave the job. Not ready to walk across the stage.

Sober in the City—and the grief we don't talk about

Hi Friend, I'm still smiling about Sober in the City. If you weren't there, picture this: a room full of women picking cowgirl names for the night, mountain views out every window, and Debbie, the best square dance caller in Colorado—a woman, of course—running the floor like she was born to it.

Who do you go to when it really matters?

Hey You, When I need advice or a referral—like a good plumber, a dog groomer, or the name of a reliable dentist—I go straight to my local Facebook page. It’s quick, familiar, and full of people willing to share what they know. When I need something more private or a little more serious, I turn to...

The Game-Changer You Can’t Always See ⚽✨

Last night, I sat on the sidelines with my heart in my throat, watching my daughter—now a captain on the varsity soccer team—play one of the most intense games of her high school career.

Living vs. Performing — and Why I’m Choosing to Live

Hi Friend, I’ve been a little quieter lately. Less posting.Less scrolling.Less reactive to the noise. And more living. Over the past few weeks, I stepped away from almost everything—including social media—and traveled, rested, and wandered, letting myself exist without documenting it. Without pac...

I Made Changes After Listening to You

Hi Friend, As spring gets closer, I’ve been thinking a lot about the first 90 days we walked through together on the INSIDE. Not just the milestones…but the quiet moments. The early mornings when someone posted,"I made it through last night." The afternoons when another woman replied,"Me too. We’...

What My Keynote Taught Me About Becoming the Woman I Want to Be

I am so proud of myself. Not just for my keynote, but for how I showed up before, during, and after. Because if I’m honest… I don’t know if I’ve ever done anything like that before. And I want to remember it. I want to take these lessons with me. So I’m sharing them with you, because maybe you’re...

A special invite: come watch me practice my keynote 🎤

Soon, I’ll be speaking at a conference and delivering a keynote about the journey from surviving to thriving—the story of the night I left a glass of wine half full on the table and chose a different life.
