When I was invited to be a guest blogger for one of my oldest and dearest friends, my initial reaction was joy and excitement that she’d invited me into such a sacred space.

Say “Yes” to the Process

This time last year, I was a hustling, full-time CEO who had the opportunity to film a Lifetime TV reality show. Filming for a month, I spent most days pinching myself because I could not believe this was my life. After years of vision boards with my name in lights, me attending award shows, even […]

I joined a new small group earlier this month and delve right into a discussion about responding to pressure. One of the ladies in my group shared how she typically responds to pressure when going through it with someone else. She said whatever approach the other person takes on (i.e. panic or plan), she will […]
