It’s Not a Sales Slump—It’s a Shift We’re not just talking about pumpkin spice season. This time of year brings a different kind of energy. People are returning from summer’s spontaneity and stepping back into structure. Budgets tighten, priorities re-align, and buying behavior changes—not because they don’t want what you offer, but because they’re choosing smart, sustainable moves for themselves and their families. This isn’t a ti...

Why I’m Questioning “Proven” Marketing Formulas (And What I’m Doing Instead) After a whirlwind trip and a much-needed mental reset, I’m finally back in the States and taking a deep breath—maybe for the first time in weeks. Being away gave me the space to pause (which rarely happens), and naturally, I found myself doing what I always do: reflecting, chewing on everything until the flavor’s all out, and thinking about where we’re hea...

Lead Beyond What You Sell: How Civic Engagement Transforms Your Business and Your Life This is my last writing from Poland, in between teaching leadership and civic engagement to a powerhouse group of women who are ready to lead in business, in their communities, and in their everyday lives.

Build While You’re Away: 5 Low-Lift Ways to Diversify Your Income Right now, I’m sitting in Poland—still in awe of the powerful women I’ve met while teaching leadership and civic engagement across the region.

Butterflies Mean Go: What Teaching in Poland Is Really Teaching Me Five days into this whirlwind experience, and I still can't quite believe it. I’m in Poland, teaching leadership and civic engagement to women who are ready to make real change in their communities—and in themselves. It sounds glamorous. And yes, it’s incredible. But it’s also real life. While I’m over here helping women grow, I’m also checking in on my boys’ lacros...

Making Work Work for Everyone: Why Real DEI Is More Than a Buzzword This week on The Seed, I welcomed back someone I deeply admire—Stacey Gordon. She’s not just a global leadership strategist and DEI expert… she’s a truth-teller, a disruptor, and someone who has been doing this work long before it became a corporate checkbox.

I wouldn’t change a thing. Because that is the heartbeat of this episode—r...

Already In It: Stop Waiting to Arrive There’s this narrative out there that if you don’t have a massive following, your business isn’t legitimate. That unless you’ve hit 10K+ on Instagram, have a flood of email subscribers, or go viral at least once a month, you’re somehow behind. Let me call that out for what it is: complete BS. Founder and CEO of Dandelion-Inc Here’s the truth I wish more entrepreneurs knew from the start:You d...

Sales Without the Ick: Real Talk with the Sales Maven There’s this word that makes a lot of entrepreneurs—especially women—tense up just hearing it:Sales. We’ve been conditioned to believe that selling has to feel pushy or performative. That if we’re not following a slick script or mastering every objection, we’re doing it wrong. But what if I told you it doesn’t have to be that way? This week on The Seed, I sat down with the incre...

How to Lead and Grow a Community While Growing Yourself Let me tell you something I’ve learned the long, messy, beautiful way: you do not need to have it all figured out before you start building something that matters. We tend to think that in order to lead, we need to be 10 steps ahead. That to create a business, a network, a movement, or even a support group, we need to have the credentials, the perfect plan, and all the confide...
