This week, I’m doing something a little different. I am the one in the interview seat. I am excited to share my recent conversation with longtime friend and UX pioneer Kyle Soucy on her brilliant podcast, The UX Consultants’ Lounge.
In this personal episode, Kyle and I explore how my two-decade UX consulting career laid the groundwork for Lift Up Connections to support mid- and senior-level women at career and life inflection points. We discuss the fears and freedom of reinventing your path, why community is essential in uncertain times, and what it means to build a business that aligns with your purpose.
We also get raw and real about self-worth, resilience, and the messy middle moments that often spark our greatest growth. If you are navigating career questions, wondering how to balance your zone of genius with what lights you up, or just need some honest company on the path, this one’s for you.
“Sometimes the market drying up is what wakes us up. If 2023 hadn’t been such a struggle, I might never have created Lift Up.” The UX Consultants' Lounge Podcast with Kyle Soucy

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
