Hey Reader! I wanted to send you a super quick note - I am SO excited to share that The Accomplishment Project podcast is finally live! I have to be honest, I was riding a wave of panic and excitement all day Tuesday. I have been going through the all the feels of who to share it with, and how, struggling with my own fears of self-promotion. Today is me pushing through that fear and discomfort! This project has been on my heart for a long time, and today, the first episode is FINALLY ready for you to hear. 🎧 Listen to Episode 1: ​ In this episode, I talk about the journey behind the podcast, what I’ve learned about burnout, motivation, and success, and what you can expect moving forward. I've made this podcast for busy people who want something more out of life. If you have been a supporter of my work, I hope you can take 29 minutes of your day to listen in. And if it resonates, please subscribe, and share it with a friend! Thanks for being here. ​ Cheers!

Happy Summer, Reader! This is the first summer in a long time where I actually have a pretty heavy workload. Gone are the days of the "summer sabbatical" where I'd do work at an easy peasy rate. I have goals and stuff to do this year! Even though I've been busy, I've had some significant travel in the last month (highlights: Seeing Sunset Boulevard on Broadway, Seeing New Kids on the Block's Vegas Residency, Glamping and hiking in Zion/Bryce Canyon with family, and visiting with family in...

Well hello there! It's been a minute. As I've been looking back at the start of 2025, it looked rough. But for me, staying focused on what truly mattered really made a difference.

I've had some major milestones with family - I have a new nephew, my oldest got his driver's license, my youngest graduated 8th grade, and in work, I've really been working on some...
