Tribeless and Fearless: The day my Dad died

One Friday this past May, I was sitting in a retreat with my former coach, Darla LeDoux.  My 92-year-old dad had been having a rough time for many weeks and I received my mom’s call that morning telling me he’d died. While I wanted to run to my mom’s side, she had my...

3 Big Things I Learned from Binge-Watching “THIS IS US”

I was a little late to the party and finally just binge-watched the Emmy-award-winning TV show, “This Is Us,” last week. Wow. If you haven’t seen the show, I highly recommend it. All the characters and the storylines are so honest and interesting, but I have to say I...

What’s holding You Back?

Over the years I’ve worked with a lot of people who appear to have it all together – family, career, business – yet they tell me that something isn’t working. Oftentimes they feel stuck, like they should be further ahead than they are, with higher paying clients, more...

Bourbon, Four Wheeling, Cotillions and Adoption

A couple of weeks ago I decided it was time for MY voice to stand out in my business – the good, the bad, the ugly. We are made up of all of our life experiences; they make us who we are. I started to ask myself some deeper questions. Why didn’t I write more about my...
