Many of you reading this know I have this saying tattooed on my arm, it is my reminder that growth is never easy and requires all of us to push

This blog probably won't earn me a lot of friends in academia or in the parenting world, but hell it needs to be said. No matter what profession you are

Today is International Women's Day, a day to celebrate women and their achievements internationally. It's nice we get a day, isn't it? The 2021 theme is "Choose to challenge." In

We’re going to tell you your site is bad, your messaging is jargon, and stock photography from the 90s is burning our eyes. A trifold will not get you a client, and cold calling makes people hate you.
We do the kind of work people remember—and the kind of relationships built to last.
@techweekgr morning. @breakfastatwolfgangs is an unofficial sponsor. @drew.veach @ebaygoede

@techweekgr kick off at Array of Engineers. @wanglerjennifer crushed it again, and coordinated one hell of a week. @sstellier

Sometimes we even eat on the weekends. Good thing I’m documenting these moments, they’d be lost forever otherwise.

You are only as good as the value you provide and the people you surround yourself with. Your network is your net worth.
Shout out to @karen.scarpino @green_giftz for the reminder.

ADHD makes all of this louder and harder to navigate.
We`re all navigating hard sh*t, and I, for one, am not going to pretend I have everything together.
It`s time to normalize the hard stuff.

The Women’s Entrepreneurial Fellowship is launching the second cohort, I’m full embracing themed outfits, I’m FINALLY back on Happy Hour Hustle talking margaritas and business ownership, @drew.veach and I continue our horrible picture taking (I had to cut his face off so you could see me - obviously), dogs, dogs and @m.k.earley shares an @8thirtyfour throwback.
