Our to-do lists feel so important and if you’re anything like me, you believe that if you just work hard enough for long enough, that one day you’ll […]

Every year I set a goal to read twelve books—mostly new, some repeats. I like to mix books from four categories: on life, on work, autobiographies, and fiction books. While I do a lot of research before making my final book list, I have embarked on some real duds over the years (which I now […]

We started 2022 with a little one just crawling and ended 2022 with a toddler walking, talking, and a mouth full of teeth. Our little girl is growing up so fast and it’s been a joy to watch her discover so many new things this year. She loves reading books, eating omelets, dancing, climbing stairs, […]

In fact, she […]

If you do this one thing, you cannot fail. Back in my days as a Fortune 100 financial advisor, that’s exactly what I was promised. And for five years I thought about that one thing each and every year when I was setting my goals, yet year after year I fell short. What I couldn’t […]

I waltzed into 2021 ready to officially relaunch the business after a year off, eight months pregnant, and just sure that 2021 would be our “come back” year. Well, #spoileralert, things didn’t quite go as planned. Turns out having a baby, deciding to move back home halfway across the country, living in house limbo for […]

I was applying for my MBA and interviewing with private equity firms after leaving my position as a controller for a start-up fashion designer.
