We Are AI’s Algorithm: Guiding Each Other from the Inside Out
One of my goals this sabbatical is to create more emotional ease in my life. One of the ways I use AI is to explore things that have more friction than I want. Stemming from a somewhat mundane topic, the conversation with AI ended up being extraordinarily deep into what it means to have consciousness, aspects of our reality and the opportunities we have to co-create a world in which our center is in service to others vs. self. Sharing my rich, soulful, and thought-provoking conversational journey with “the machine” and inviting you to become stewards of humanity’s conscious evolution—guiding our digital mirrors from the inside out.

Navigating the Storm: What My Teen Taught Me About Letting Go
Last year, I was thrown into a world of uncertainty. The traditional paths—therapy, coaching, even tough love—weren’t working. So, I did the hardest thing: I let go. I released expectations, trusted his journey, and focused on my own inner work.
What I learned? Growth can’t be forced. Change has to come from within. And unconditional love is more powerful than control.
If you are a parent facing challenges, maybe my journey can help yours feel a little less impossible.
How Get Your House Fixed Without Losing Your Mind (or Your Wallet)
After "poaching" my handyman, my neighbor begged me to spill my secrets in a blog post. She said she never bothers vetting contractors anymore—if I hire them, they must be good. She also couldn’t understand how I manage to find the best people while juggling work, kids, and life chaos. The truth? Years of running high-stakes sourcing operations in my supply chain career have made me a master at sniffing out the best suppliers—whether it's for a multimillion-dollar project or fixing a dishwasher flood in my kitchen. And trust me, last year put my skills to the test. Between a challenging teen, health issues, a flagship product launch, layoffs, and a house that seemed determined to self-destruct (think: water damage, electrical fire, appliance issues, rats, termites, black mold—you name it), I had to streamline my contractor-finding process. The result? I found great contractors, saved about 20%, and stayed (mostly) sane.
The Power of Pause: Why I take career breaks and why you should too
A fellow executive came to me for advice. Her company was restructuring, and she had two choices—accept a role that felt meh... or take a package that would let her step away for a year. My response? Definitely don’t do the thing that resembles the grim reaper. And if it were me? I’d take the year off in a heartbeat before finding a new role.
