Weekly Debrief: September 6 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For the last month, I feel like we’ve been living in a Twilight Zone of sorts — vacation, two weeks of work, a week of COVID, two weeks without consistent childcare for Z and now another holiday. Z starts Kindergarten on Tuesday, and I feel like we are about to jump on a treadmill at 4.1 pace (with my stride and long legs, that’s a solid power walk for me before I have to start jogging). The ReadEarly on in my years of being a mother (and back when I still had a bit of that arrogance that comes

Read excerpt
The most asked question I get on my Instagram account is: “How do you manage your workload as a working mom without burning out? It feels impossible to keep up.”I wrote a long answer to that question in February 2025. It’s still one of the most-read things I’ve published here.

You need to leave your company to make serious gains in your compensation and experience as a leader. Changing roles in your company is one of the most underrated career moves a leader can make to grow their expertise.Today, I want to focus on the second one — but first, I need to go back to the early days of my career to set the stage. For most of my c

Coming to you live from my kitchen where I’m trying to entertain two sick kids indoors for 48 hours straight — we are living on iPad, chicken nuggets and a more requests for apple juice than I would like. Wish me luck.The ReadoutI’ve mentioned earlier this week on Instagram that I feel like we are facing an impending tsunami coming at us in September when my son starts Kindergarten. I have no idea how to prepare for it. Yes, I’ve read all the prep content. Yes we are doing all the special activi
