Reclaiming Connection in a Hyperconnected World
Technology. It’s a lifeline, a blessing—and let’s be honest—a daily battle. When my girls were younger, I remember leaning on screen time as a survival tool.

Erase the Line: Raising Daughters Who Believe They Can
When I was growing up, I wanted to be President of the United States. I told people—earnestly, confidently, and often. But one person, someone I looked up to, responded in a way I’ll never forget: “You’ll never do that. You’re a woman, and you don’t have the right last name.” That comment didn’t stop me—but… Read more

What Does Time Well Spent Mean to You—Today?
Think back to a moment when you felt completely fulfilled at the end of the day. A time when you said to yourself: That was worth it. That mattered. That felt right. What were you doing?

The Power of a Real Conversation
Some of my most treasured memories have come from the simplest of moments—like sitting shoulder-to-shoulder in a restaurant booth, deep in conversation with my daughter. I remember when she was four, telling me—completely seriously—that she had a periscope in her brain, “just like the pirates,” so she could see through things. She described the inside… Read more

Mentors, Matrices, and Moments That Matter
This afternoon, I got the best kind of surprise—an unexpected text from my longtime mentor. She was in town and wondered if I had time to catch up. The answer, of course, was yes. No hesitation. My heart leapt at the chance. This woman has been a force in my life for more than a… Read more

The Time Is Now
For a long time, I didn’t fully understand what that phrase meant. “The time is now.” It always seemed attached to a checklist: the next job, the next milestone, the next life event. I focused on the what—getting married, building a career, buying the house, raising the kids. But somewhere along the way, I realized… Read more
