Strawberry tree Mother frogs carry their very young frog babies on their back for two whole years. The caring frog Moms bring their baby red frogs up trees, down trees. Two years is over 700 days of carrying a baby on their back. Initially I was certain this absurd parenting style was over board, yet, as I searched for more about these brilliantly poisonous frogs it dawned on me that we human mothers carry our children both mentally and physically for a lifetime.And I am tired and wanting more. More than laundry, more than carpools, more than sports franchises ripping off my hard earned saving…

Your inbox is full and your schedules are fuller so I’ll keep this short. May you find a nap or a visualization during the holiday season. You can take a break.What I Did to Pause:I had a rare operation on December 4. My tailbone is gone- Cue rest, rest rest on my side like a harbor seal or a 90s supermodel (see image below). One new addition to my pausing is seeing friends when they drop off meals or pick up my kids to drive them to a holiday function. My hubs and I swapped home offices, which was long overdue. He needed more space and lightstreams of the japanese maple his Dad got us. Th…

Writing a titles is complex for the women in my Season Series as they all wear many many hats; hence their inspiration for these WSJ Magazine-like cover story Q&As. I’ll keep trying to give my Season Series Cover Girls their best titles. Gayle Kalvert is a Founder, Mom and Bucknell alumnus. It's been a decade (really two decades) since we have connected in a meaningful way. She’s been in my feed, thank you algorithm, for once! My intutuition guided me to reach out to Gayle about her CEO role, Winter, business and how to keep it all feel balanced. Her Linkedin posts like this one share more…

Healing—whether from a medical procedure, grief, or job loss—falls under the same umbrella: it's a process that requires time, intention, and care. Buckets, after all, are useful for organizing everything from budgets to sock drawers. Why not use one as a metaphor for healing?Think of it like a bucket you’ve prepped for a driveway car wash with warm, soapy water. Just as washing your car requires preparation, so does healing from discomfort. While some upsets are sudden and tragic, many times, we sense when a dip is coming and have the chance to prepare.Unfortunately, it’s easy to turn…

Why is food so powerful in social media, writing, videos?A few of the top media influencers are chefs. I follow them and watch them chop for recipes I’ll never make.In the hustle of my life cooking consists of gathering food, warming it and offering it to very picky family members.The truth of my perpetual food watching feels shocking. It’s an escape to watch a knife cut through a carrot. I can’t wait to see which British grandma wins the bake off or town hero snags the blue ribbon.Do half of the recipes get made with 600 ingredients my kids won’t touch? No. Do I eat leftovers- not a c…

It’s been a long time since I first heard Roya’s story. We met at a retreat, and I’ve thought about her journey ever since. We’ve DM’d and checked in with each other. She lives in Nothern Cali, in a place I visited often, in a town where I bought my first real adult couch. In an instant I felt I knew her work in human resources, her negotiating of roles, her complex love of collaborting and growing her self and her staff. I saw her connecting deeply at the retreat with friends and new friends.Mostly, I saw her confidently laughing really really hard while stand up paddle boarding whi…

Managers, Managers, Managers- have you noticed your team going through the motions, struggling with motivation, or overwhelmed as workloads increase? While internal obstacles are expected, it’s the external pressures—personalities, home life, and Mental Health—that are much harder to navigate.One of the biggest challenges managers face in Q4 is focusing your team while balancing the realities of everyone’s life outside of work. With over one-third of Americans showing signs of Anxiety or Depression, there’s never been a greater need for workplace mental health support (Gallup).Where …

Sleep—the mysterious, elusive friend who ghosts us just when we need them the most. If you've ever found yourself counting light beams in your room, reciting your grocery list, or deep-diving into embarrassing high school memories at 3 a.m., you’re not alone. Dr Gina Harper Harrison mentioned the shift in our cortisol to wake up to run from the lions in the cave. Energy can also sit from other people in the corners of your room. Once you lie down and have opened a window for a few minutes, good sleep takes more than just closing your eyes and hoping for the best. From magnesium magic to m…

From “I Quit” to LinkedIn Glory: the Unedited Documentary of Career Change Ever wonder what actually goes down between the moment you decide to jump ship and the day you roll up with a shiny new role? It’s a little like a behind-the-scenes Netflix special: you only see the trailer, a release date, and the end product. The reality? Lots of bloopers, rewrites, and maybe a few late-night stress-eating episodes in between. But unlike Netflix, there’s no guarantee this career season wraps with everyone’s favorite “New Role!” post on LinkedIn or a subtle nod in the family holiday card…

What I Did to Pause:Grabbed dinner at La Maya in Hellertown, PA with a few lady friends mid-week. Not easy, we made it happen for the nachos and the convo.Had a really loving moment for myself and my products! I took an hour to really go through my notes while I was developing The 24 Oracle Deck. Pausing gave me a moment to celebrate that process, the writing, my team of editors & designers. Celebrating is pausing.I went to bed at 8pm on a Saturday night, so divine. Highly recommend, even as a night owl.I am listening to Adi Goldstein’s soothing beats while driving, working, giving reiki.Too…

She is in transit, much like the seasons. As fall moves into winter, she is preparing to shake things up in a very aligned way.We met on Zoom. Is that how all Relationships—friendships and otherwise—begin these days? A Reiki training, our names on the bottom left of our screens.“I’m Lynn from eastern Pennsylvania, but I’m living in South Carolina right now.” I blurted out all my locations like a COVID confession—that …

Chip Conley’s MEA institute shared a list of decision traps last week. Often, over 40, we want to make the right choice. We have such little time left at work or on this planet that every minute can feel like a big deal.Photo by Katarzyna Kos on UnsplashHave you ever get stuck making a decision, only to realize later you’ve been caught in a loop of the same thoughts? I’ve been there—and I see it all the time in coaching sessions. Our minds are wired to take mental shortcuts, but some of those shortcuts lead us straight into traps.One of the sneakiest? The Clarity Trap—the belief that…
