Why You Shouldn’t Wait Until Retirement to Start Living (Part 1)
Dream. Ignite. Build.
I used to think that waiting until retirement to travel, to enjoy life, and to slow down was the responsible thing to do. This episode explores what happens when you stop postponing life and start questioning the belief that meaning and joy come later. After a trip to Greece and Turkey, my husband and I began to see time, success, and presence differently. Standing in places shaped by history, faith, and uncertainty forced us to reflect on how much of modern life is built around control, urgency, and waiting for the perfect moment. This conversation is not about quitting your job...

Starting 2026 with Clarity and an Honest Debrief
Dream. Ignite. Build.
Before I design what’s next, I believe we have to pause long enough to tell the truth about what actually worked and what quietly cost more than it gave back. In this episode of Dream. Ignite. Build., I walk through why growth doesn’t come from doing more. It comes from clarity. And clarity requires honesty. Not about what looked good or kept us busy, but about what truly moved the needle, what drained our energy, and what no longer aligns with the life and leadership we’re building. I talk about why skipping a debrief leads to burnout, how simplifying often creates the biggest...

You Don’t Need More Motivation, You Need Completion
Dream. Ignite. Build.

Stop Hustling. Start Leading: Build Your 2026 Around Capacity
Dream. Ignite. Build.
High performers are no longer designing their lives around hustle. They are designing around capacity. In this episode, I talk about why this shift is essential if you want 2026 to feel different. For years, we were taught that success meant doing more, pushing harder, and staying busy. But hustle eventually stops working, not because you're incapable, but because your life, responsibilities, and season change. When capacity is ignored, even good goals start to feel heavy and burnout becomes the cost. In this conversation, I break down what capacity based planning really looks like, especially...
