Today Dan and I are celebrating our 14th wedding anniversary (which seems wild and crazy)! It is one of those weird things where it feels like it's been so much longer than that but also a blink. (What is time?!) So much life has happened in the last fourteen years! I asked Dan to help me come up with a list of the best advice we could give about marriage a[...]
I see you over there, mama. Burning the candle at both ends, juggling all the kid chaos while trying to hustle on your business dreams. As the school year winds down, you may find yourself wondering what the hell you were thinking, especially if your kids are about to be home with you every day like mine. What if there was a fairly simple solution to your[...]
Take It From The Queen I am the Queen of “Should.” As a people-pleasing perfectionist the list of things I “should do,” ways I “should be,” things I “should say,” etc. etc. etc…it’s never-ending. For most of my life this list has dictated the way I show up. Recently I realized this list was impacting my business, and not in a positive[...]

There was an article published in Forbes recently titled, “ Why Women Leaders Must Be Expert Storytellers.” I must say, I completely agree! The article goes on to describe the importance of women sharing their stories, the fact that they’re less likely to do so, and also maybe the least shocking revelation is that men don’t share the same fear of sh[...]
Recently I have been reading Jamie Kern Lima’s book called Worthy and it has my brain buzzing! She specifically talks about the difference between self-confidence and self-worth. And dives into how we “don’t soar to the level of your hopes and dreams, you stay stuck at your level of self-worth.” When I tell you I’ve been chewing on that particular[...]
How do we care for everyone else when we're Down and Out? Many of you know I had shoulder surgery recently, can we talk about the mental gymnastics it takes to prepare for something like that as a mom?! Actually, mental gymnastics doesn’t even do it justice. It’s a freaking Tough Mudder competition or something. I mean I’m trying to remember the[...]
A few months ago I was terrified of AI. It was blowing up and everyone was talking about how it could do and write anything, often better than a human. There was (and still is) so much speculation about whether it will take over jobs…like mine. Recently I decided the only way to feel less fear towards AI was to start experimenting with it.

I was making a new recipe for dinner recently and it required me to mix cornstarch with some water so I could add that to a sauce as a thickening agent. No big, right? Little did I know this recipe would lead to a complete emotional breakdown. When Molly was undergoing active treatment for her leukemia she struggled a lot with low blood sugars overni[...]
