My hope is that we stop pinning the stay at home woman against the working woman. We need both to forge paths and show what options are available to us. Be a trad wife. Be a girl boss. Just don’t be judgmental.
Fun story: on a plane ride from LA last week a man sat in front of me with his 18 month old. It was a 6 hour flight and the little one had no intention of sitting or napping. I started to interact with the boy. Helping to alleviate some of the entertainment from the dad. By…
"I don't have any hobbies" In a recent coaching session I was talking to a very successful-on-paper person. 7 figures. 2 kids. And yet they still felt unhappy... so I asked: "What do you like to do for fun?" and they stared blankly. So I rephrased it... "If you didn't…

This morning my partner got up, got the kids ready for camp and out the door so I could sleep in while I'm a little under the weather. He didn't have to ask for anything. He knew what to feed them. What they needed for camp. Where to take them and at what time. And when I…
POV: a tech company uses your author pic in a marketing email and a guy you dated uses it as a reconnection opp. Talk about a feature release.

Wearing a CGM for the next 2 weeks and learning so much about what triggers glucose spikes! Ex: I eat chicken, broccoli and rice for dinner many nights. White rice spiked my levels a ton. Today I’m at 100% in range!

My marketplace Aetna insurance (costs $900 a month) just dropped my PCP and OBGYN from coverage. We can’t re-enroll until November. Last month I had to pay over $1k out of pocket. What’s the solution??
Thinking of going naked on health insurance. Is this a bad idea? I have insurance, it costs me so much. And I still pay an ass ton out of pocket. Baring the low probability risk of disease; going no health insurance is a better deal. Just pay everything out of pocket.
Someone just wrote a review that says “oh god….not another influencer book” And I’m like…..oh, I guess having a 20 year career in marketing, building multiple companies, becoming the first millionaire in your family and raising 3 kids on your own doesn’t give you credibility…
I have a HUGE favor to ask you all. I'm looking to speak on podcasts for my book launch. Tag a podcast below you think I should speak on!! ⬇️ Here's what Toxic Grit is all about.... For years we’ve been told the answer to burnout is better balance. But what if balance is…
We are starting a movement. It’s not about hustle OR rest. Girl boss OR lazy girl. Ambition OR contentment. We keep swinging the pendulum in this extreme back and forth - only to feel guilty if you are not “on trend” for what it means to be a woman. Toxic Grit is about…


What's your ENOUGH Score? Steal my nightly 2 min ritual that helps me balance my ambition with contentment. Real talk: Being ambitious can sometimes be at war with enjoying what you have. And when I started to realize my desire for more was depleting my ability to enjoy what…
You can start over at any age. I got divorced at 32. I started a company at 34 with 3 kids under age 4. I started a new career at 38. My first book is coming out at 39. I'm getting married to the love of my life at 40. If you want to change your life, the best day to…
The most successful people in 10 years will be the creatives.
We are in a groupthink, brain rot, A.I. bot content slop era and the future belongs to anyone willing to actually have an authentic personality or unique idea
Tell me you’ve been on a lot of planes this summer without telling me……
