What Hiking Is Teaching Me About Ambition (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I never thought I would become someone who genuinely enjoys hiking.For most of my life, I didn’t understand why people did it. It seemed like a lot of effort just to walk somewhere, look at something, and then turn around and walk back. But over the past six months, I have gone hiking almost every weekend and it has become something that I look forward to.<a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!h2-Q!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https
This Fall, I’m Not “Locking In” to Do More (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Fall is officially here, and it has always been my favorite season. Part of what I love about it is that you can actually see the season changing around you.

I was not teaching, coaching, leading, or trying to offer anyone a lesson. I was simply having fun.Before I posted it, though, I almost changed my mind.I found another video of myself dancing
Self Love Is Not Only Reserved for Your Best Self (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There are moments in life when the version of yourself that shows up is not the version you want anyone to see.Not the composed version who knows how to pause, breathe, communicate clearly, take the high road, or respond from wisdom instead of wound. I am talking about the version of you who reacts before she can catch herself. The version who gets defensive, overwhelmed, sharp, shut down, or consumed by an emotion that feels bigger than the moment itself.And then there is the aftermath.The sile
