Reader,
Happy New Year, and welcome to 2026!
I know it’s been a minute since you last heard from me. I stepped back over the holidays to create some real space for myself. I wanted real rest, rich tome for reflection, and a bit of time to recalibrate some things in the business.
As this year begins, it feels important to come back intentionally, not just pop back into your inbox with noise.
As we start this year, I strongly believe we don't need more urgency, more optimization, or more performative growth.
We each need to be incredibly clear, rooted in our deep conviction-driven ideas, and be leaders who are willing to say and do the things required to build something that lasts.
I don't know about you, but I want to build something deeply sustainable, that serves the world, and allows me to lean into my deepest strengths and expertise.
That’s the conversation I’m committed to this year, especially for women who are navigating real inflection points in their work, their leadership, and their lives.
To start the year, I just published a new blog post (and an expansive podcast episode) that speaks directly to this moment.
If you’ve felt the quiet tension of knowing something isn’t quite working, even though from the outside things look “fine,” give it a read/listen.
I see the work before us less about fixing or adding, and more about understanding what the moment is actually asking of you.
I'm excited about the year ahead. As always, I'll be sharing reflections, tools, and perspectives for those of you building with intention and thinking long-term.
I’m really glad you’re here.
