Most women I work with aren't held back by a lack of capability. They're held back by a story they've been telling themselves for so long, it feels like fact.

We talk a lot about honesty. But almost all of it is pointed outward at other people, at situations, at the world. The harder, more transformative work? It's the honesty we owe ourselves.

If you've tried therapy, journaling, meditation, or read every book on the wellness shelf and still feel stuck …this isn't a failure of effort. It might be a failure of fit.

Usually, I like to choose a theme for each year, a gentle nudge in some direction, nothing too serious. The year I chose yes, for example, I ended up completing a skydive… something that, without that yes-theme (and some clever maneuvering from my best friend Helen), would never have happened.

A few years ago, I was at a farewell party for a colleague, mingling and making conversation. Since I find small talk tiring, I asked a question I was truly curious to learn more about:

“What are you excited about in your life right now?”

Ten years ago, I found myself grappling with a question that quietly changed my life: "Who have you not given yourself the chance to be?"

Gratitude isn't the problem, but how we're using can be.

Real gratitude - that’s beautiful. I’m talking about the fake kind we throw on top of hard emotions to make them more "acceptable."
