Exciting news — going live on Monday!


Playing outside, client projects, and an amazing 2.5-week British Columbia road trip.

That sums up my summer so far. How about you?

Now that I'm back, I wanted to share this with you ASAP!

This Monday, August 25th, 5:30pm MT / 7:30pm ET, I'm joining my friend Kate Kendall for a live conversation about authenticity, career pivots, and the magic of the messy middle.

I’ve admired Kate’s work since discovering her empowering, insightful yoga classes on Gaia.com back in 2014. These days, our friendly catchups have become so real and energizing, Kate suggested we take it live.

I'm thrilled to continue our convo and share it with you!

That was my brain’s default speed this summer. Fluttering faster than I could think.Zipping around on a sugar high. Blurring my reality. Between the constant evolution of AI, an ever-changing world, and a life that’s packed full of goodness, it sometimes feels hard to keep up. Not to mention all the things we can blindly click on these...

There’s no one way. The amount of times I’ve said that — that we’ve all said that — infinite, right? For me, it often comes up around health, wellness, business or mindset. There’s no one way… to eat healthy (100% paleo is not for me) to get fit (burpees on the daily are a big no thank you) to do business (social media is my frenemy, referrals are my bestie) to be creative (hello, silly sketches) to live (relationships + nature + adventure + time = me) to be ready (moving on from perfection,...

What if you did the brave thing… And chose growth over comfort. Would it feel: Wise? Empowering? Inspiring? Or… Exhausting? Vulnerable? Facepalming? (It’s an adjective now.) What if it was all of the above? That’s how it’s felt for me the past year: Soaring highs and recharge-on-the-couch lows. One day I’m the bird cruising a floaty breeze. The next? I’m the bird huddled in the nest going “nah, that’s too windy.” Maybe that’s just the flight path of growth. Updrafts, sunshine — and wind...
