Last week I asked you what was the thing you’d been burying.Your idea, your desire that you’d pushed down for so long “because.” The response was almost overwhelming. We all have SOMETHING buried inside us that we’ve pushed off and accepted as a far-fetched dream.But what if we could turn whatever that has been hiding […]
‘How do you balance it all?’ Women get asked this question all the time. If you’re ambitious, high-achieving, are a wife and/or mother and look even remotely put together, people ask you this question as if you have some magic formula locked away. I won’t even get into why men aren’t asked this question. How […]
I was watching the first episode of Voltron with my daughter (don’t judge me) and there was one scene where Pidge was really concerned about taking on her new responsibilities as a Paladin (or pilot) of Voltron. She started spouting off all of the things that could possibly go wrong, all the way down to […]
I’m a summer girl at heart but I’m a big fan of September because it still signals to me the start of a new year. We’re shaking off the summer laziness, kids are going back to school, business prospects are ready to get started again. And you still have 4 months left in the year […]

This morning I had the most refreshing call with a good friend. She had called me unexpectedly and we made time to catch up and chat with each other for about 45 minutes. When I got off the phone with her, I felt like my cup had been refilled. You see, sometimes I feel isolated. […]
When you hear the word ‘adventure’ the first things that come mind may be extreme. Thrill-seeking, adrenaline-pumping, heart-racing exploits that you don’t get to experience often, or that you may have to travel and invest a lot of dollars in to enjoy. While those are indeed adventures, there’s something to be said about smaller, quieter […]
No matter if you have a corporate career, stay home with your children or work from home it’s easy for your day to day life to resemble something close to Groundhog’s Day. While many thrive on routine, schedules and the like, if you’re not careful you’ll look around and realize you’ve spent an incredible amount […]
Tell me if this sounds familiar, … You’re an ambitious, driven woman of color. You take care of business both at home and at work. You’re scaling the corporate ladder or rocking your own business or raising tiny humans. You meet each challenge head on and you emerge on the other side with style and grace. […]
