THE SCOOP Hey Reader, Spring is here, and despite the fact that it doesn't quite feel like it (snow's coming this week in Colorado), there’s something magical about this season. After months of stillness, things are finally starting to wake up. The light is lingering longer, the air is softening, and, if you look closely, you’ll see the first signs of growth everywhere. In fact, we've been playing a little game at our house... find the flowers. Last fall, my husband planted a bunch of...

Reader, Let’s talk about the elephant in the room. A lot of people are pointing fingers right now...The economy feels like it's a mess.The political climate is chaotic and changing every single day.People are more conservative with their dollars. And yes, all of that is true. We need to acknowledge the instability, exhaustion, and uncertainty most of us, including our clients, are feeling right now. But here’s what’s also true: The reason you’re not getting clients isn’t just about the world...

Reader, If you’ve been thinking about joining The Visibility Breakthrough Workshop, but something’s holding you back… I get it. Investing in your visibility (and yourself) can bring up questions, doubts, and even fear, especially right now. So let me answer a few of the most common questions I’ve been getting: 1. What if I don’t have time to “be visible” right now? Totally fair. That’s why the workshop focuses on quick, high-impact strategies that take just a few minutes a day. As a business...

Hey Reader! Let me introduce you to someone incredible: Jen Morris, the founder of Renegade Motherhood. Jen built Renegade Motherhood from a deep, unshakable passion—to help women build and grow businesses and do motherhood on their own terms. She has big ideas, a powerful voice, and a mission that mattered. But like so many entrepreneurs, she was stuck in that in-between place: Too many ideas Not enough clarity And unsure how to move forward without burning out. When we started working...

Reader, Does doing business feel harder than it should? I've talked to a lot of my colleagues, and virtually everyone is seeing and feeling the business landscape shift. The strategies that worked a few years ago aren't working the same way they used to. Couple that with a lot of political, social, and economic uncertainty, and your potential clients are more judicious than ever. Heck, you probably are too! When things feel uncertain, when the rules keep changing, it’s easy to pull back. To...

THE SCOOP Reader, All last week I was in Austin, TX supporting athletes, my son included, as they prepared for the National Team Trials in Climbing. I've written often about elite athletes because they are so dang inspiring! I love their discipline, their willingness to do hard things, and the way they rise to the challenge when the pressure to show up grows. I saw that in spades this week. The level of grit and determination every single athlete displayed was so inspiring! In business, as we...

Reader, Today is an awesome day to celebrate the achievements and the beautiful brilliance of women! It's also a day to take stock of where we women's rights are still at risk. We are living in unprecedented times, and what got us to this point will not be sufficient to get us to a kinder, more just, more equitable world. In fact, I believe it's going to require each of us to be more radical. To boldly and unapologetically take up space. And to use our ideas and voices to challenge the status...

Reader, Ever feel like a lot of business advice wasn’t built for women and moms like us? You know…the kind that suggests you just wake up earlier or hustle harder (as if you aren’t already running a household and a business). Here’s the thing: Women, especially moms, are an economic force. We’re not just raising kids—we’re making money, building companies, and shaping communities. And it’s time the business world caught up. That’s why I’m so excited to invite you to the Business Like a Mother...

THE SCOOP Reader, March is Women’s History Month, and on Saturday (3/8), I have the incredible honor of delivering the closing keynote at my local International Women’s Day celebration. I am beyond excited to speak on the critical importance of investing in women’s voices and ideas. Data consistently shows that when women’s voices are amplified, businesses thrive, communities flourish, and the world becomes more just, innovative, and sustainable. 🔹 When women are involved in peace agreements,...
