lightbulb with the word Idea inside

Big ideas. Real impact. This is what happens when women go all in.

Reader, Last week, I wrapped up one of the most powerful programs I’ve ever led - my 6-month Big Idea Incubator - and I’m still buzzing from the breakthroughs these women created. They came in with big hearts, big missions, and a tangle of ideas… and they walked away with absolute clarity, traction, and momentum. Let me celebrate them and show you what’s possible: Darby is producing a documentary that will challenge everything women believe about money and launching a business ecosystem to...

The Scoop: The real reason I'm talking about ROI

THE SCOOP Reader, In this week's blog and podcast, I dive into the ROI of investing in women's ideas. I wanted to make sure you saw the numbers... AND, more importantly, I wanted to remind you that your ideas, your voice, and your work aren't just a nice-to-have, they're necessary. Unfortunately, we still live in a world where women are asked to prove their worth (I seriously hate that term), to justify their leadership and successes with data, and to back up their vision with numbers in a...

A lightbulb with electric-like rays shooting out from all around it

You don’t think you have a big idea, but I do.

Reader, You probably don’t think you have a “big idea.” I know that phrase can sometimes feel too grand, too bold, too far from the half-written doc on your desktop or the quiet frustration you feel scrolling social and seeing what everyone else is talking about. When I was doing a lot of TEDx coaching, people would ask me all the time if I had done one, or if I wanted to. Every time my answer was a hesitant no. I gave a lot of reasons why it wasn't a good fit. I'm not into keynotes. I don't...

Notebook and pen rest on a cozy blanket.

This is the time to go to work. Here's how!

Reader, Yesterday, I was having tea with a friend, and we were talking about the challenge of entrepreneurship right now. Not just the hustle or the strategy, but the climate we’re all trying to operate in. We talked about the chaos in the ecosystem -- the politics, the economy, the energetic shifts -- and how it has created this weird tension in the air. If you’re feeling that heaviness, you’re not alone. It’s in moments like these that I come back to one of my favorite quotes from Toni...

The Scoop: Why investing in women is smart business

THE SCOOP Reader, Everywhere I look, I see brilliant women solving problems, building businesses, and advocating for change, while still fighting to be heard. We’re operating inside systems that were never built for us, and the keepers of those systems have no intention or incentive to change. That’s why I'm on a mission. That's why I keep showing up. That’s why I'm always urging you to SAY. THE. THING. That’s why your business, voice, and message are so important. In this week’s blog +...

The Scoop: The tension between something new… and what’s already in motion

THE SCOOP Reader, What do you do when something new starts stirring, not to replace what you’ve built, but to expand it? That's the question I was pondering this morning at my friend, Windy Lawson's, Solopreneur Networking Event this morning. Right now, I’m deep in the early stages of planning a retreat in Egypt for Fall 2026, and I’ll be heading there this September to meet with partners, explore sites, and lay the foundation for what’s coming. It’s exciting, big, and a massive heart project...
