Why comparing ourselves to others takes us out of our authenticity
Today is all about how I learned to protect my authenticity and trust my own process—and the story starts in my own neighborhood.
When was the last time you connected with yourself creatively?
To kick off this series, I want to take you back to the night that changed everything for me when it came to writing this book.
The blog post I’ve been waiting five years to write
Near the end of this post, I have a really special announcement that has been the hardest secret to keep from you, and today is the day I get to share it.
Tech, AI, and Toy Story
The movie theater was the last place on Earth I expected to get some kind of clarity on my relationship with AI, but that’s what happened.
How to protect a ‘creative bubble’
I want to share what I learned about navigating an intense creative season this way and how I made intentional tradeoffs to protect that time for myself without guilt.
The mindset that keeps me centered in times of uncertainty
I’ve learned that the key to dealing with uncertainty is to turn my focus inward. After all, the only thing we can really control is ourselves, so that’s always where I start.
The perspective that helps me move through rejection
I thought I’d share with you what I told my friend in case you, too, are struggling with rejection or have struggled with it before.
What really helps you move on from failure
The people who have the courage to keep trying after they mess up are usually the most successful in the end. But, of course, that’s easier said than done.
WHAT STRESSFUL SITUATIONS CAN TEACH US ABOUT MINDSET
I wasn’t looking forward to it, but I knew the situation was out of my control.
The problem with polite lies
Comments like these usually fly under the radar because we say them so casually, we’re not fully conscious of our words when we say them.
Receiving compliments is a skill
In the moment, I found myself unable to accept a single one of their sweet words.
Not all wins feel good in the moment
A few weeks ago, while training for my next race, I had one of those days where everything just clicked.
The line between protecting your work and stalling it
Have you ever struggled to collaborate on something that’s really important to you?
Learning to move at the speed of my energy
For a while now, I’ve been practicing a different, much slower pace—and I’ve never felt more aligned, at peace, and accomplished.
The day I trusted my gut over my agenda
It’s an example of what’s possible when you set aside your ego, lean into self-trust, and lead from a place of genuinely wanting to serve.
Your energy is your greatest leadership responsibility
When we're mindful of our energy, it can be the thing that helps others feel their best.
The power of surrendering instead of forcing
2025 became my year to live my greatest lesson of all, which is simply . . . to surrender.
The power of an inspiring space
I left feeling so inspired, so proud, and like I got my mojo back.
