Why subscribe?
I’m a successful human simply because I’m here—and so are you. While I’ve founded four businesses and worn many hats (mom, wife, sister, daughter, entrepreneur), this newsletter isn’t about professional achievements or labels, although they are weaved in from time to time if relevant. Instead, this newsletter is about life's raw, messy reality and the awe-inspiring strength of the human spirit. It’s about the moments of joy and the navigation of sorrow.
This space is about embracing life and the incredible way we rise repeatedly. It’s about honesty, grit, grace, and living as our most authentic selves. I write on the themes of redemption and resilience: the idea that no matter how far we feel from ourselves, no matter what cruelty life dishes out, we all have the capacity to rebuild and reclaim who we are—if we’re willing to do the work. It means facing our choices, taking accountability, and finding the strength to break free from harmful patterns. It’s a journey that demands discomfort, honesty, and a commitment to healing.
But this isn’t just about me—it’s about all of us. It’s about unlearning the habits that keep us small, stepping into our power, and living a life that feels fully ours. Too often, life—especially for women—has us twisting ourselves into versions of “enough” for everyone else. Well, I’m done with that.
I’ll take it from here, thanks.
