Focusing on alignment and it's working. I'm so excited about my newest clients:

💵 a founder navigating how to lead like a CEO after a significant career pivot, building a company that will give her and her investors the returns they want, while truly making an impact in the health of our communities

⚕️ a founder building a company and a team who are solving health diagnosis and care problems that hit very close to home

🎓 a young person navigating the expectations of others, while trying to discover what she wants and where to go next to explore this further

🌱 a scientist navigating a new leadership role

I anticipate a great year for each of these women! 🎉

If your college graduate isn't tapping into their alumni and personal networks to advance their career, they are missing a key component of the job search and career advancement.

In this course, they will learn how to turn meaningful conversations into clarity, opportunity, and career momentum. They will identify the people who can support them, reach out with confidence, ask thoughtful questions, and create relationships that last.

This is a practical, hands-on course. They will be reflecting, planning, and taking action from day one.

If they want support through this, I'm happy to help.

Career Conversations That Unlock Opportunities is a practical, confidence-building course that helps students and young professionals discover career paths and connect with people doing the work you want to do.

Initially designed to replace a staff retreat when we were all remote, I created a guided journal to reflect and enter the upcoming year with intention.

My hope is that the reflection prompts engage you in thinking beyond the barriers set by others and help you set your own, new expectations as you enter the new year. I aim for this experience to set you up to thrive.

Thriving doesn't mean you don't worry about things, it doesn't mean you don't have bad days or bad moments. Thriving doesn't mean you don't have compassion for others and wish for change in the world.

Thriving means you are living fully into your life and making the most of it by fueling yourself and growing at your own pace.

Do you want a copy? I'll send this journal to the first five people to share their addresses with me (I promise not to send anything else to you.). Otherwise, it's available on Amazon, see link in the comments.

Where do you find joy with money?

What would it look like to have more of this? More money, sure, but what would it really look like to have more of the JOY? Once basic needs are met, there is not a strong correlation between money and joy. 

We want to normalize women talking about money so we can identify ways to bring more JOY into our lives, increase our financial fitness, manage our finances with confidence, and likely, bring more money into our lives. 

Join us for an authentic conversation about money with a small group of women from around the country (maybe the world). We will show up open and ready to share with others who promise not to tell anyone.
