Empowered and Unapologetic: Mastering Marriage, Motherhood, and Business - A Business Woman's Guide to Balancing it all.
Let’s get one thing straight: I love fireworks as much as the next overly scheduled woman running on caffeine and generational trauma. But this Fourth of July, we’re not talking about backyard barbecues and red-white-and-blue jello shots. No, friend. We’re talking about a very different kind of freedom—the kind that comes from laying down your emotional mop and stepping off the hamster wheel of doing the most. I’m talking about the freedom to not be the CEO of your marriage, your household, your kid’s extracurricular calendar, and your damn group chat. Because...

“We’ve been rewarded for being in control. But love, leadership, and joy don’t come from control—they come from presence.” – Francesca Sipma Let me set the scene: I’m sitting down with Francesca Sipma, founder of HypnoBreathwork®, and about five minutes into the conversation, I’m already contemplating if I should move to Bali, toss my planner in the trash, and just breathe for a living. Francesca doesn’t just teach breathwork—she lives it. She’s worked with CEOs, celebrities, and now, lucky us, she’s sharing how high-performing women like us can stop...

“If you feel like you have to post, don’t log in. Because you’re not putting out energy anyone wants to engage with.” Let’s get real: running social media as a business owner or ambitious woman feels a lot like trying to work out while someone throws Goldfish crackers at you and yells “engagement matters!” from across the room. Add motherhood, a marriage, or literally any attempt at self-care into the mix, and you’ve got yourself a recipe for burnout with a side of ‘why am I even doing this?’ But here’s the truth bomb that Rachel Adams Lee dropped on the...

Let me tell you something—there are women who walk into a room and command it, not with a shout but with the quiet authority of someone who’s been through hell, built the ladder, and climbed out. Marie Newman is one of those women. When I sat down with Marie—former Congresswoman, nonprofit CEO, badass mom, and the author of A Life Made From Scratch—I knew this conversation wasn’t going to be fluffy. It was going to be real. And I don’t do surface-level, especially not with women who know what it means to carry the weight of a career, a family, and the occasional internal...

If you’ve ever found yourself stuck in the same cycle—overgiving, overwhelmed, and wondering why nothing really changes—this one’s for you. In my latest blog, I chat with Melissa Hiemann, founder of The Centre for Healing, about Root Cause Therapy: a deep, somatic approach to healing that actually gets to the why behind our patterns. We talk trauma, motherhood, nervous system regulation, and why being “intentional” isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a survival strategy. Spoiler: healing doesn’t mean hustling harder. It means finally pulling the weed up from the root.

Together (barely) through the hugging, decorating, and 50,000 photos… but as soon as I got into the car, I lost it. Like full-on, ugly cry all the way home. Because I knew. I knew that moment was a line in the sand—before and after. Fast forward to now, and the plot twist? I’m back in the emotional trenches. Aaliyah is graduating college. Aubrey is graduating high school and leaving the state. And Brooklyn, my little Monkey Feet, will be the last one left at home. So this Mother’s Day, I sat down with all three of my girls for a no-filter, full-feels conversation about...
