Ep. 36: Data Driven Success in 2023
How many times do we begin each year (for some of us it's each day) with an optimistic lens and dreams that we truly believe are possible?...only to fall short and have our internal voice say "I told you so"...or some other unkind version that we would never say to our BFF. As we dive into the...

Ep. 16: Pay Yourself First
Are you tired of hearing people say the words self-care, take care of yourself, make time for yourself, ...and the list goes on? ...in a sea of overwhelming expectations these often feel like ONE MORE THING, one more expectation of what you "SHOULD" be doing! While everyone is well meaning, these...
-
Ep. 15: Owning Your Superpower
We all have a superpower...we tell kiddos that all the time... And yet somewhere along the way we stop looking for that in others and especially in ourselves. I remember the first time I took a psychometric assessment (and each time after), my first thought was yep that's me...and immediately…

Ep. 12: How To Create A Culture of Attraction
So...I'm back in the dating world...YAY & UGH! And it's got me thinking a lot about what/who we are attracted to, what/who is attracted to us, and how it works across all levels of who we are as humans and the choices we make. Often we talk about attraction in the sense of what is visually...
-
Ep. 11: How To Create A Culture of Innovation
In this climate of a seemingly unending supply of chaos, uncertainty and overwhelm the last thing we are all able to process is innovation, let along what we want for dinner. And yet without it we will continue to feel like we're in the spin cycle of life being out of our control at every turn....
-
Ep. 10: How To Create A Culture of Courage
What is courage? Why am I connecting it to culture? We all have these moments where fear or anxiety or *insert emotion here* holds us back from saying or doing what we know in our gut is the right thing to say or do. And how often do we wish we had the courage to take the leap? How often can we...
-
Ep. 9: How To Create A Culture of Connection

Ep. 5: How To Create A Culture Of Acceptance & Inclusivity
We all crave to belong somewhere, to know our place in the universe, to know our people and to feel seen, heard and valued amongst those people.

Ep. 4: How To Create A Culture Of Rhythm & Balance
So much of our world is out of balance right now!...that might be the understatement of the century! *facepalm* And yet we all seem to be chasing some version of balance in our lives. But what is balance? What does it look like? What does it feel like? How do we know when we have it? & How can…

Holy bananas this year is already a doozy!!! I got the "lesson" of slowing down due to being sick with COVID over the new year and the past couple of weeks (Thankfully, I am finally back feeling like myself this week!)...and it gave me a lot of time to ponder life and what is really important!…
