Let’s talk. (How to engage in brave communication, and why it matters.)
Let’s talk. You needn’t ask me twice! I love talking, I love telling stories, I love sharing. It’s no wonder I speak for a living! But it’s not always about me (promise!) as I love being in conversation even more. And I truly believe there isn’t anything that can’t be solved through communication. The problem is, […]

SO, it turns out I’m more of a not-so-sexy sexy dancer… Oh man was I uncomfortable! I mean, that was part of the reason I signed up in the first place, but I kind of forgot just how uncomfortable it feels to feel uncomfortable. It was week two in my new Army of Sass dance […]

Stop pleasing the teacher!
Happy Friday! On Monday morning, my alarm went off at 4:45am. Now I enjoy mornings, but I wouldn’t really call myself a morning person per say. And while I have quite a few friends and colleagues who are a part of the 5am club, I am not one of them! But I got up at […]

And more specifically, do you remember the part where young Oliver, still ravished after his first small bowl of oatmeal gruel, innocently asks in his lovely little boy British accent:“Please, Sir, I want some more…” Well, he was not met with a positive response, and in fact […]
