How Good Can It Get

Two weeks ago, I stopped giving my resistance a seat at the table. Maybe you’re ready to do the same. This week, we’ve looked at resistance from every angle, and today I’m sharing what’s actually working for me. I...

For three years, I told myself I was writing a book. Maybe you’ve told yourself a story like that too. I had 54 pages I kept tinkering with, a publishing course I’d paid for, and a very reasonable list of reasons to...

Who am I to want more when I already have so much? Maybe you’ve asked yourself that too. There’s a saying from recovery circles that I can’t stop thinking about: if it’s hysterical, it’s historical. When a reaction...

Sometimes my resistance shows up right when things are going well. Maybe yours does too. This week, the daily podcast and my 999-word writing ritual have started to feel mundane, kind of like opening a pantry full of...

Most days this month, I’ve felt resistance before doing the very things I chose to do. Maybe you’ve felt that too. I committed to recording a daily podcast and writing 999 words a day for the book I’ve wanted to write...

If I give myself grace, will I lose my edge? Maybe you’ve wondered that too. If you built your career on getting everything done without complaint, letting yourself off the hook can feel like opening Pandora’s box. As...

After burnout, so many of us start asking when we’ll get back to normal and feel like ourselves again. In this episode, I give you my honest answer. You may never return to the version of you who existed before...

I’ve wrestled with this one for years: when do I give myself grace, and when do I push through? After burnout, your internal alarm system can get out of whack. Some women feel like everything is forcing. Others feel so...

When a woman comes to me after burnout, I ask her what she wants for herself. Most of the time, she can’t answer. Maybe you can’t either. She can tell you exactly what her team needs and what her boss expects. Her own...

I’ve said “I’m burned out” in the same breath as “I’m tired.” Maybe you have too. In the past few episodes, we redefined growth as capacity expansion. This week, I’m looking at what happens when our capacity gets pushed...

I used to believe growth came from pushing harder. This week, I've been redefining growth as capacity expansion: the capacity to hold more of my own truth and to stay with myself when life gets full. That definition...

I'm becoming suspicious of the way I've defined growth for most of my life. For 20 years, I lived inside reports. As managing partner, COO, and chief strategy officer, I watched revenue, headcount and expense trends...

I know what it feels like when the thing you built becomes the thing you have to leave. Ashlei Rolloff got the email on her day off. The million-dollar agency she had built was being divested and spun out to her. On...

I signed up for something a few weeks ago that my body was already saying no to... and I said yes anyway. Fresh off the Growth Day Conference, I've been sitting with the word growth. Somewhere across 20-plus years of...

This week felt heavier than most, and I don't want to pretend otherwise. Every time I opened a news app, there was another story where something went terribly wrong for a woman, and the people who were supposed to...
