I'm writing to you from the lake house.

It's that dreamy (for me + maybe you, too) September day when the sunshine is out, there's a cool breeze in the air, and the lake looks an inviting blue.

As I walked along the beach and Austin rode his bike, I was surprised to see the Metropark...

At the beginning of August, I took some time to reflect on the first half of the year. This Louisa May Alcott quote came to mind:

I am not afraid of storms for I am learning how to sail my ship.

January through June have been about learning how to sail my business ship with the...

Last week I wrote about putting myself on a pedestal to counteract my feelings of inadequacy. I shared that my magic trick, which isn't magic at all, is the willingness to be myself when I think I'm not going to fit in, be liked, or judged. You can read it here.

I want to take this...

We often talk about the dangers of putting other people on pedestals because they are human and will inevitably fail or let us down. Being let down isn't a bad thing, it's a normal thing, especially when we're in the habit of deciding someone is superior to us, therefore, inadvertently...

I'm back from sabbatical and let me tell you, it was not what I hoped for.

I'm going to share all the details of my sickness, the unexpected lessons, what made me sob on the bathroom floor, and why now, it all seems so perfect, on my weekly show, Office Hours, on Instagram Live, this...

For years, I've been sharing my struggles and vulnerably walking you through the lessons and tools to help make our lives better.

I've been shying away from telling you how great my life really is.

That's because I'm only just understanding both the depth of my...

Two years ago TODAY I stumbled upon the sweetest little surprise.

I decided to buy a house in a town that I'd spent 24 hours in.

If you think you need to do more, have a better plan, be more daring/savvy/connected etc., to get what you want, let my story inspire you to think...

Do you ever walk away from a conversation or meeting thinking, "What the hell is the matter with me? Why on earth did I say that?"

The thought plagues you, churning away like it's ground hog day. You've got pressure in your chest and you start to sweat the moment you remember the...

We've all been there. Change is in the air and you're hoping it slides right on by and somehow forgets its plan for you so you don't have to deal with that big knot in your stomach.

Gosh darn it change. Again, really?, you think to yourself.

Whether it's knowing you need to...

"I don't know what I think about the patriarchy. I want to discuss it with you," I said to my friend last week.

While I agree that our system is broken and outdated in some areas - no standard, paid parental leave, expensive childcare, wage inequity - I also don't want to rail...

My kid isn't my life.

My husband isn't my life.

They can't be. They're not supposed to be.

Let's be honest, when you're alone, and I'm not just talking about when you do a Target run and you're in heaven that nobody's bugging you, do you feel a bit anxious because you...

Drum roll, please!
