What are your tricks for managing work and summer?
Some days I can feel like I’m doing an awesome job at parenting and “business womaning” it (is that a word?), and then summer hits… and sometimes I just don’t know anymore. First day of school to now… it’s crazy how days can feel so long, yet time flies by so fast… and oddly, both … Read more
Who is this person? I barely recognize her (in a good way)!
This is your reminder that progress looks a lot like luck that is disguised as work, and determined action…again and again and again. Who is this person? I barely recognize her (in a good way)! A little over two years ago, I had a vague idea of what I wanted to do as a business … Read more
Look no further for your next read!
But here’s the thing with influence: you can have a positive, negative, or indifferent influence. I love getting mail, but you know what’s even better? Receiving a BOOK in the mail from a friend.

One ATTA Time is a non-profit organization providing families across the world access to clean drinking water “one atta time.” The filters they provide allow families clean drinking water for up … Read more
My secret to getting things done!
It might not be a lot of space, but these time blocks hold me accountable even if it’s just 30-40 minutes to work on my book, write a keynote speech or plan a workshop. People often ask me, “How do you manage your time?” My answer every time: “Time blocking.” Between running my own business, … Read more
