I was at the Costco Tire Center to dispose of an old tire, my 2-year-old in tow.

The line was long and my toddler was doing the typical toddler thing:
Running around.
Touching everything.
Nearly knocking over a display or two.

We finally made it to the front.
"$2," the man behind the counter said.

And you know what? I. Forgot. My. Wallet. In. The. Car. 😑
UGH is all that went through my head.
"I left my wallet in the car. I'll be right back."

I scooped up my kiddo, who immediately started flailing all his limbs, trying desperately to break free.
That's when the woman behind me spoke up.
"Don't worry about it. I got you covered."

I looked at her with a mix of gratitude and disbelief.
"You sure?"
"Yeah. I know what it's like having a toddler. Don't worry about it."
I thanked her profusely.

Her kindness meant so much to me.
Because in that moment, she made me feel SEEN.
She saw me trying. She saw the juggling.
She could have been annoyed that I was holding up the line.
Instead, she noticed. And decided to make my moment a little easier.

With everything happening around us today, from layoffs and reorgs to uncertainty about what comes next, people are carrying a lot.
And most of it is invisible from the outside.

Let's give each other a little more grace.
A little more patience.
A little more empathy.
And definitely a LOT more kindness. ❤️

Because sometimes, the smallest gesture can make the biggest difference to someone else.

What's a small act of kindness from someone that's made all the difference for you?

We don't pause enough to reflect on our journeys... I had the chance to do that this week and what a wild ride it's been!

Two years ago I sat in the audience at my first BoldHaus event. My husband was at home with our 3-month-old and 2.5-year-old while I was running in and out between sessions to pump.

I remember looking at the success panel on stage and thinking, "They are inspiring. I can only hope to be up there one day."

Back then, my business depended entirely on me to run. Maternity leave was scary. If I wasn’t working, there was no income, but the expenses and overhead kept coming.

I was determined to change that.

This week, I had the honor of sitting on that stage for the second year in a row to share my journey... I'm still mind-blown. 🤯

On top of that, my firm received awards recognizing:

🚀 Business Milestones: Revenue growth of 143% so far this year vs 2025, and landing our largest multi-year engagement to date.

🚀 Change Maker / Thought Leadership Trailblazer: For our insights paper on what it takes to align and mobilize teams for AI transformation.

There’s so much behind those milestones.

👉🏼 Mindset shifts.
👉🏼 Uncomfortable decisions.
👉🏼 Taking action before I felt ready.
👉🏼 Learning to let other people lead.
👉🏼 Continuing to move when I couldn’t see the whole path.

But my two why's keep me going:

🎃 Freedom to go on pumpkin patch field trips with my boys, take vacations, and be fully present with those I love, knowing my business can keep running while I’m away.

❤️ Bringing more humanity back into the workplace. Because we need that more than ever...

I often say: Fear and faith are both believing in an outcome that hasn’t happened yet. Fear believes the worst. Faith believes it will work out.

I still feel plenty of fear. But I've also learned to recognize the mind trash and lean into faith instead.

Two years ago, I hoped I’d get to share my story from that stage someday.
Now I hope someone sitting in that audience is thinking, “I can do this, too.” ❤️

Thank you to Angelique Rewers, Phil Dyer, Ariana Blossom, Brian Trzaskos, Ani Anderson, Tara Powers, Mike Thompson, Lori Israel, and the entire Boldhaus community. Your support, challenges, and belief in me have changed me.

And to the clients who have trusted my firm with your leaders, teams, and biggest challenges: thank you. Your trust means so much to me, and I’m proud of the difference we're making together.

Ya'll rock my world.

I flew straight from a 10-day vacation in Portugal to New York to speak at the WICT Network's Leadership Conference. And all I have to say is: TOTALLY WORTH IT 🥳

I shared The Team Alignment Playbook: Turn Siloed Teams into Collaborative Powerhouses with a room full of leaders ready to strengthen how their teams work together.

One key takeaway to keep top of mind?

👇🏼

Misalignment is an organizational debt that compounds if left unaddressed.

Organizations often see the early warning signs. The response?

👇🏼

“We’ll deal with it later.”

Waiting costs us time, talent, and momentum. Eventually, it hits the P&L.

So: Act on early warning signs. Don’t wait until something is on fire.

What’s something you keep saying "We'll deal with it later" that deserves attention now? 👀

And the feedback from 71 attendees?

✅ 100% found the session valuable
✅ 100% wanted to hear more
✅ 91% found it actionable

“A must attend. Practical and actionable information we can go back and start to implement.” — Resa Quick

Huge thank you to The WICT Network, especially Tracy Pitcher, Jessa Cooke, and Megan Marksberry, for having me.

A big shoutout to everyone who laughed with me through all the tech issues! 😂 The AV guy and I clearly have some alignment work to do!

"TSCPA - best speaker I have ever heard at one of your events."
WHAT?! 🤯 I had to read that feedback twice.

Last week, I had the honor of opening the Tennessee Society of Certified Public Accountants' Women's Leadership Conference with a session on Mastering Mental Fitness.

I shared how mental fitness carried me through my fertility challenges, plus tools to recognize and quiet the saboteurs behind stress and self-doubt.

Afterward, women kept coming up to tell me the session had brought them to tears AND left them feeling empowered.
That combination is absolute AWESOMESAUCE in my book. 💗

And if that wasn't enough, I had the privilege to close out the conference on a panel about The Modern Leader: AI, Influence & Reinventing the Rules with some rockstars: Samantha Mansfield, Nina Morel, and Jennifer Kohlbacher, moderated by Kara Fitzgerald,.

We explored the impact of AI on our lives, learning to say no (and not trying to do it all), letting go of the "nice girl" role while staying kind and firm, and everything in between.

So much wisdom in one row of chairs!

Huge thank you to Tennessee Society of Certified Public Accountants for having me, and to Julia Johnson for all the behind-the-scenes work that made it happen. You made it look easy, and I know it wasn't.

It's been a week, but I'm still soaking all the energy in. 🥹

I'm still reveling in the energy and humanness from last week in Chicago with the American Epilepsy Society leadership team. ❤️

The leaders did something hard... they got vulnerable with each other right from the start. And that ability to connect and be human set the tone for everything we did after.

We wrestled with
👉🏼 leadership team purpose
👉🏼 how we make decisions
👉🏼 how we disagree and have conflict as a team

We challenged assumptions and had the conversations that are easy to put off when there's always another urgent thing demanding attention.

At the end of the 2 days, there was so much energy in the room.
And... we were tired. 😂

That’s the thing about real leadership alignment work.
It isn’t always easy. And it shouldn’t be.

Sometimes progress looks like leaving the room energized AND mentally exhausted because you actually worked through the things that matter.

Huge appreciation to the AES leadership team for your trust, your openness, and for bringing me into the fold for this work.

Grateful to be alongside you and look forward to the next 9 months! ❤️

Still reveling in the energy from NHRMA - Northwest Human Resource Management Association last week! 🥳

I had the chance to speak twice:

👉🏼 The Team Alignment Playbook: 3 Strategies to Turn Siloed Teams into Collaborative Powerhouses

👉🏼 Culture Isn’t a Perk. It’s a Strategy. with Wendy McCauley Brand and Devin C. Hughes

So many great conversations and connections sparked from those two sessions.

And consistently I heard some version of:

"We've got some challenges inside our organization..."

Silos. Avoided conversations. Misalignment. Conflict. Lack of accountability. Leadership infighting.

Followed by:

"But nothing is on fire. Yet. So there's little urgency from leadership to do anything about it."

It has me wondering:

How long should we tolerate a problem we KNOW exists simply because nothing is on fire... yet? 👀

What do you think?

Huge thank you to NHRMA for having me and to everyone who joined my sessions! 💞

Thrilled share that I'll be speaking at the The WICT Network's Leadership Conference on October 6 at 10:35am
👇🏼
The Team Alignment Playbook: Turn Siloed Teams into Collaborative Powerhouses

💰 Organizations lose an average of $109M for every $1B spent on projects because teams aren’t aligned on goals and ex*****ons.

The default?
👉🏼 Plan another offsite
👉🏼 Invest in more check-the-box, one-and-done trainings
👉🏼 Add more meetings, memos, messages

It feels like progress.
But nothing actually changes.
And the same conversations keep happening.

In this session, we’ll get into what actually works.

For senior leaders responsible for ex*****on and results, who are done throwing money at the symptoms: This is for you.

Hope to see you there! 👋🏼
