  • Reinvention Without Permission

    In this edition of Lead Anew: Insights & Growth, we’re talking about the courage to reinvent yourself without waiting for someone else’s green light. Too often, we hold back, hoping for approval or timing that never comes. The truth is, reinvention doesn’t require permission; it involves choice.

  • 🌿 Slow Down Saturday | Labor Day Weekend 🌿

    Labor Day often gets framed as the “end of summer,” but I see it as an invitation to pause before the fall rush begins. This weekend isn’t just about cookouts, parades, or the extra day off; it’s a reminder of the value of rest after hard work. The labor we pour into our careers, our…

  • 🌙 Mindful Midweek 🌙

    Midweek often feels like standing at the halfway mark of a long bridge. You can see how far you’ve come… and how far there still is to go. Instead of rushing across, try stopping right in the middle. Look around. Notice what’s working, what’s heavy, and what you can simply set down. Sometimes the most…

  • Still Figuring It Out – With Flair

    Welcome back to Lead Anew: Insights and Growth. This edition is for anyone who has ever led while secretly searching for guidance online. Spoiler alert: most of us are still learning and growing. Leadership isn’t about a final exam; it’s about trial, error, laughter, and the courage to evolve continuously.

  • 🌿 Slow Down Saturday 🌿

    This week has been a full one; juggling a busy work week and a calendar packed with doctor appointments. Truthfully, it reminded me how easy it is to put our health on the back burner when life is moving fast, but those routine checks, those quiet moments to listen to our bodies—they matter. Slowing down…

  • ✨Flawed & Fierce Friday

    This week was a whirlwind—appointments, work, and all the moving parts of life that don’t always align neatly. The truth? Being flawed and fierce isn’t about handling it all perfectly. It’s about showing up anyway, adjusting the sails when things shift, and giving yourself credit for navigating the messy middle. If your week felt like a juggling…

  • Quick Win Monday

    A win doesn’t have to be big to count. Sometimes it’s as small as sending the email you’ve been putting off, walking away from your desk for five minutes to breathe, or choosing patience instead of frustration. When we pause to be grateful for these small steps, they stop feeling “small” at all. They become…

  • The Real Answer To Starting Over at 51

    In this edition of Lead Anew: Insights and Growth, I share what happened when I googled, “How do I restart my career at 51?” and why the honest answer wasn’t online. This issue focuses on trading “busy” for aligned, asking braver questions, and reconnecting with the values and passions we’ve sidelined (for me: health equity,…

  • 🌻☀️ Slow Down Saturday

    We rush so often that even the good things, joy, connection, meaning, can blur into background noise. What if today wasn’t about slowing down the pace, but about noticing what’s already here? ☀️ The way the morning light falls across the table ☕ The first sip of coffee, warm and steady 💬 The short text…

  • ✨Truth in Leadership Thursday

    The real test of leadership doesn’t come when the room is calm and the plan is polished. It comes in the middle of the chaos, when the easy way is right there, whispering your name. Your team notices more than you think.They see the look on your face when pressure hits.They hear the words you…
