Who do you want to BE?
Growing up I had dreams of changing the world. Perhaps it was reflective of my Enneagram One (the Reformer/Perfectionist) personality type. I dreamed of being apart of something that truly mattered.

Why Choosing Courage Matters
When I choose the path of vulnerability and authenticity, when I choose to embrace courage and compassion, I contribute to building a world where we as women support and encourage one another, where we live generous lives, and where we find connection, purpose, and our path to impact.

Embracing Chaos
In just over 24 hours I will be induced. If all goes smoothly, I will bring baby girl #3 home shortly after that. I am ready to not be pregnant anymore. However, I also fear the chaos that will soon follow. I am mostly afraid, not because of the lack of sleep, or the challenges […]
