Champs, I'm back. A year ago, I was publishing a podcast and a blog post per week, today I am changing diapers and learning a song about a shark family. If you listened to my podcast with Ariane Laxo, you know this was a much longed-for experience and I couldn't be happier. But enough about … Continue reading Do What You Love?
Seasons Change, We Change, We Win
Today is the day I almost deleted my last two blog posts. I had this rush of embarrassment that I didn’t get to finish my blog series (YET!), that I haven’t yet started production on Season 2 of my podcast, and that in general, I haven’t focused here on my own site or Facebook page … Continue reading Seasons Change, We Change, We Win
Get a Reaction: Don’t Say Hello.
It was a dark and stormy night. Marley was dead, to begin with. Mr and Mrs Dursley, of number four, Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much. When you read a book, how long does it take you to get sucked in? If you are reading an excellent … Continue reading Get a Reaction: Don’t Say Hello.
Jump Start Your Joy, Guest Starring Me!
I love podcasting. I was, therefore, thrilled to be asked to do a guest spot on the fantastical Paula Jenkins's show Jump Start Your Joy, a show all about what fulfills people from various walks of life. I'm proud of this show - it was important to me to be authentic and share the things … Continue reading Jump Start Your Joy, Guest Starring Me!

The topic of the presentation you are about to see sounds interesting or exciting, which is why you came to … Continue reading RIP Craptacular Presentations and Events
What Just Happened?
Do you ever find yourself having a moment where you feel completely out of place in your own life? Back in 2008 I had my first “I’m done living in New York” moment and decided to try and live in my hometown. I had been on tour and came back to New York and resumed … Continue reading What Just Happened?
Round Up
It’s a summer of discovery for me and my Idea Champ Collaborators, and I wanted to share some projects I’m working on. Big changes are ahead as my husband and I are moving to the Chicago area this fall - as always, I’m grateful for the adventure! Kelly Fowler for Delegate: I’m continuing to work … Continue reading Round Up
I’ll Do it Myself
It happened again this week: I started working with a new visionary and one of the first things she said was “I’m terrible at delegating”. I’ve been told by other consultant types that themes start to arise in their work, and it is so fitting that mine is women who would rather just do it … Continue reading I’ll Do it Myself
Climb High, Dive Deep
There I sat, under the stars, tied at the waist to a stranger, staring over a cliff, feeling more foolish and embarrassed than I had ever felt in my life, in shock at the words that had just come out of my mouth. That was Disappointment Cleaver, and it remains the most important moment of … Continue reading Climb High, Dive Deep
