You’re thinking about what’s next. You’re opening a fresh calendar. Imagining what this year could hold.Considering what you want more of—and what you’re no longer willing to carry. There’s an energy that comes with this moment.A sense of possibility.A chance to be intentional instead of reactive. You’re not starting over.You’re building from everything you’ve already lived, learned, and led. And […]

There’s something about this time of year that brings everything to the surface. Another year ending. A new one on the horizon. A quiet question whispering beneath all the noise: Shouldn’t I be further along by now? Maybe this year didn’t unfold the way you hoped. Maybe you’re closing out the year feeling tired, behind, or a little disappointed in […]

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 […]

You wake up and the world feels heavy—emails waiting, to-dos multiplying, people needing something from you before you’ve even had a chance to breathe. Gratitude is the last thing on your mind. But then, you pause.  You notice the quiet hum of the heater keeping your home warm.  The softness of your blanket. The peaceful stillness before anyone else wakes up. […]

You say yes because you can.Because you’re capable. Because you don’t want to disappoint anyone. So you take the meeting.  Join the committee.  Offer to “just help a little.” And before you know it, your calendar is full—but your soul feels empty. You tell yourself, “It’s just a busy season.”But if every season looks the same, it’s […]

People ask me all the time: “Christi, how do you do it all?”And I get it—the book, the business, the Powerhouse Women Network, the speaking, the family, all on top of a full time job. From the outside, it looks like a lot.  But here’s the truth: I don’t “do it all.” I’ve just learned to do the […]

Your body always knows first. It shows up in the subtle signals you’re tempted to ignore: By Sunday night, there’s a knot in your stomach. By Monday morning, you’re already counting the hours until the weekend. This isn’t laziness. It isn’t weakness. And it isn’t something another cup of coffee will fix. These are the early […]

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 […]
