From Pivot to Power: Reinventing Leadership at Life’s Hard Intersections

Sometimes leadership lessons come from boardrooms and strategy sessions—but the most powerful ones? They’re born in the hard seasons. Last week, I joined Dzikamai Gangaidzo on The Shameless (T4L) Podcast for an open, honest conversation about what it really means to lead through life’s intersections—those unexpected detours that challenge who we are and how we show up. We talked about the difference between toxic resilience (just “pushing through”) and true resilience—the kind that allows you to bend without breaking. I [...]

From Inner Critic to Inner Coach: Reframing the Voice Within

We all carry a voice within us — that persistent inner monologue that often tells us we're not good enough, smart enough, or talented enough to pursue what we truly desire. For many of us, especially women navigating leadership, entrepreneurship, and personal growth, this "inner critic" can be the loudest voice in the room.

The events of this summer have moved me to my core. So I did what I do, I reached for my pen. Here’s an excerpt from my new book collaboration A Collective Breath. Dear White Christians, I love you, and God loves you; but He needs you to understand some things. I need you to understand some things: 1.

We Honored His Wishes But Broke Their Hearts

When my boys were young, they loved to climb up and down each other...isn't that just like boys? If they weren't climbing, they were balancing or just rolling on the floor. With four of them, there was no shortage of playmates, and my husband and I enjoyed countless hours of watching (and participating in) their playfulness. It created a bond that could never be broken.
