As the year winds down, there’s a simple practice I recommend to every woman I coach — one that helps you see what was truly worth the time and energy you invested this year. It’s a year-end calendar and memory audit. Not to judge the year.Not to critique yourself.But to actually see the life you lived. So often, we […]

The lights are twinkling, the calendar is winding down, and your to-do list is somehow longer than it was in July. You’re closing projects, ordering gifts, juggling school concerts, and squeezing in one last client meeting before the holidays hit full swing. And in those quiet moments between wrapping up the year and collapsing into bed, you think:“Next […]

The candles flicker as your friends sing and you lean in to blow them out.  In years past, this moment has felt bittersweet. Instead of celebrating, your mind drifted to everything that hadn’t happened yet—the career move still on hold, the dream project still unwritten, the balance you swore you’d find but never seemed to reach.  A […]

I love doing things that stretch me out of my comfort zone. My motto is DO IT SCARED because so often when I dream of a new plan or goal it’s usually scary and I have no idea how I’m going to pull it off or what it’s going to be like; but I have […]

Well, it’s officially 2025 and I wanted to take some time to talk about goal setting, setting intentions for 2025 and building a theme for your year. I’ve always been a total nerd about goal setting. I have a planner where I choose a theme for the year, write down all of my goals for […]

As leaders we are always challenged with not only our own personal and professional growth but in also helping our teams thrive and grow. I’ve always been a very strong personality and very leadership minded. From a young age I was regularly told to sit down and shut up. I was regularly told I was […]

It’s now late August and we are officially beginning the transition back to school, so I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how to best navigate transitions as the mental load that women carry every day expands during this time of year. Depending on the ages of our children, we are navigating school tours, school […]

I love July because it’s officially summer in Minnesota which means the weather is gorgeous (most of the time haha…the weather is always changing here!), the grass and trees are lush and green, and my kiddos spend most of the day outside playing with their friends. This year we also went on our annual family […]

In honor of my 20th wedding anniversary (May 29th), I’d like to talk to you about partnership. As women we spend so much time supporting our spouses and children and family members and friends to accomplish all their goals and dreams. Most men, especially those in high positions, typically have a spouse and/or executive assistant […]

Many of us, myself included, were taught from a young age to be nice, be quiet, smile, make others comfortable, shrink back and don’t inconvenience others with your needs or wants. Some of the messages are subliminal and others are pretty obvious, but we don’t want to inconvenience others. We want everyone to be happy. […]
