A space for honest conversations about learning, growth, and the courage to lead

We don't chase their approval.
We don't wait for someone else to develop our skills.

We stay curious, keep learning, and keep taking action toward being better, more courageous leaders.

Most people think they have to change careers, change their husbands, move, have a different body, or have more money to have a life they love. But that’s because we’ve been sold a lie. We’ve been taught that if we aren’t happy, we can get or buy happiness by changing our circumstances. And that just […]

Our brains love to find patterns and ways of organizing information and making sense of it. So of course it would be common for us to create boxes and put ourselves in them. We do this to ourselves and we do this to other people too, right? We tell ourselves we’re this, which means we […]

We’re Changing Up the Rules and the Answers If you’re like me, the answer has always been to do more. But in this chapter we want our lives to feel as good on the inside as they do on the outside. And to do that, the answer is no longer about doing more. It’s about […]

Trying to make sure everyone liked me was my kryptonite for most of my life. I’m embarrassed to even admit that, but it’s true. I was being nice no matter how I was treated. I was smiling even when I wasn’t feeling happy. I was saying yes even when I didn’t want to. This is […]
