Today is the day! The day we women do business and build relationships OUR WAY! Thank you to and for the invitation and the experience 💖

I’m willing to put in the effort. Are you?

20 years of marriage today—and one thing I’m especially proud of is this:

We didn’t just build a life together.
We built two careers—side by side.

There were seasons when one of us accelerated while the other held steady.
Moments when we had to renegotiate roles, take risks, or bet on each other’s potential.
And plenty of times when “balance” looked more like intentional trade-offs than perfection.

Dual-career partnerships don’t happen by accident. They require:
• Honest conversations about ambition and priorities
• Flexibility as goals evolve
• A willingness to take turns leading and supporting
• And a deep belief that there’s room for both people to grow

This is something I see often in my work with high-performing leaders—especially women who are navigating big career moves while also investing in their relationships.

It’s not always easy.
But it is possible to build a career you love and a partnership that grows with you.

20 years in—and we’re still building! 💖

Only one thing at the Portobello Road market in London caught my eye. both wrote and illustrated her book. Every morning my son reads me one of her quotes and we admire her art. We see ourselves in her work, and we are so grateful. Please take a moment to follow her.

Today is Employee Appreciation Day!! Did you know…

⭐️Employees who feel recognized are 45% less likely to leave

😕Employees who don’t feel recognized are 2× more likely to quit

I find that recognition doesn’t have to be big, but it does need to be meaningful. Like a personal note on a card like the one in the photo.

How do you show meaningful appreciation?

We had to test out this new ChatGPT trend asking it to create a caricature of us at work. The title it came up with was "Executive Coach in Action." We think it's pretty accurate! If you want to have some fun with AI, try this one out and drop it in the comment!

The shift from January to February is energizing! 🤩. My local community has so much going on with plenty of opportunities to network, celebrate, support, and share in fellowship. This is where I’m going…what’s on your calendar?

🎶 “It’s the most wonderful time of the year…” 🎶
…said no one who just got their performance review. 😅

Tis the season for keywords like “development areas,” “opportunities,” and that mysterious phrase we all fear: “meets expectations.”

If you’re walking around wondering what your review really meant or feeling a mix of pride, confusion, and “wait… was that a compliment?” you’re not alone.

That’s why I’m offering something special this season.

A one-hour, coaching session to help you:
✔️ Process the emotional side of feedback
✔️ Unpack what your review is actually telling you
✔️ Turn it into confident action and momentum for 2026

Your performance review shouldn’t be a lump of coal. Let’s turn it into jet fuel for 2026.

If you (or someone on your team) could use a thinking partner to make sense of feedback and map out next steps, then this is for you.

Because yes — it can be the most wonderful time of the year… when feedback becomes forward motion. ❤️
