People love sexy outcomes. Big numbers, best-seller lists, fancy new cars, a fit beach body, a success story, Forbes richest man or woman. To name a few, but you know what wasn’t sexy? The road and path to get to these high points. It is usually a slow climb

If you’ve been in the same industry for an extended period of time, you know one thing. Most moves are predictable as all get out. You can assume what the next Teams call will sound like. You can predict the next assignment, email request, or learning agenda, and eye

Has your brain, body, and spirit ever hit maximum capacity? For me, it looks something like creating media, running media by my clients, trying to think outside the box, dogs, kids, husband, and long-term house guests. The list could go on. Sometimes it feels as if my cup runneth over,

We are all fallible humans. We bend, break, cry, and kick the dust up. We hurt and lose people we love, and sometimes what’s left in the wake of the tornado feels irreparable. Often things can feel beyond mend, and we want so badly to stay down. (Don’t

Adulting is hard, and I don’t wanna. I want to curl up in a ball, watch Netflix, and bury my “adultness” in some Bourbon and a bag of crunchy Cheetos. But what’s that going to solve? Nothing whatsoever, but dammit, I’m going to do it anyways. This
