Spending the weekend with a dear friend and here are some morning journal observations about friendships in our modern world.

A broken barometer

Texting is not a barometer for the health of a relationship. My friend and I live in different states and barely text. We plan 2-3…

First Pickleball game in the books! I stayed out of the kitchen.

Thanks Dickie Bush 🚢 for bringing us together.

Ps - as a former athlete there is nothing better than finding new outlets for competition and moving your body.

Playing pickleball for the first time this morning.

Ready to make a fool of myself.

Tiago Forte I don't remember where I heard this, but I think maybe it was Amanda Goetz, but it stuck.

She said that the reason our days feel like they pass slowly when we're kids is that we're having completely new experiences and we're developing new neural pathways.

So, it seems to…

When navigating the business world,
align yourself with good humans first,
good business second.

Find people who care about you before money.

I've had to learn this the hard way too many times.

To avoid feeling disconnected from my life, I follow my 4 x 3 connection framework:

4 categories ➡️ 3 trips each:

Category 1: Myself ➡️ I need a night or two by myself every so often to allow space to process what’s happening in my life. This one is the hardest to make space…

Bias for action + intensity + sprinkling of crazy = founders who get sh*t done.

Well said, Amanda Goetz 👏

Thursdays are my heavy zoom call days.
Today is also take your kids to work day.

April 25th is sponsored by Bluey and Uber Eats.

In October 2023 I launched a community for early stage builders to share 20+ years of marketing experience.

This is for ppl who want to build new income streams - just like me - so we are on this journey together.

We focus on the internal (limiting beliefs, procrastination,…

When work energizes you,
It’s hard to step away and rest.

But if you push too hard,
for too long,
you will end up paralyzed with anxiety, brain fog and apathy.

If you are building please remember
Rest is part of the process
Not a reward.

To whom it may concern,

A chapter of my book is about all the pivotal moments that could happen in a woman's life - times where she might alter how she's showing up and what she is prioritizing.

Would love a quick gut check:

Dating
Breakups (friendship or romantic)
Marriage
Divorce
Finding love…

I’ve always taken pride in doing things myself.

Maybe it’s a post divorce symptom.
Maybe it’s that Midwest work ethic.
Or maybe……it’s self sabotage.

As you know, the last 9 months I left my corporate marketing career to pursue a life of a solopreneur.

In 9 months:

➡️…

If past you planned it,
Love yourself enough to do it.
Future you will appreciate it.

This week I needed to write, edit and program a new onboarding welcome series for my client.

This task would have taken me a full week in corporate. So many interruptions.

But because I’m fractional - I only had 1 meeting today.

I finished the task in 6 hours.
