Hi Reader, A few weeks ago, I had the honor of joining a group of remarkable women on Donna Cravotta’s Wisdom Panel, a key part of her inspiring 50 Over 50 brand. Our segment, Voices Carry, spotlighted the stories and wisdom of owning our truths and how, in doing so, we create a meaningful impact. This movement boldly confronts ageism while celebrating the unmatched value of experience and perspective. Spoiler alert: staying silent isn’t as safe as it seems. It turns out that your inner voice gets pretty cranky when ignored. We dove into all of it: What it means to speak your truth (even when it’s terrifying). How to navigate the What-will-people-think?! spiral. And why finding your voice can feel like uncovering buried treasure—messy, but worth it. I promise this isn’t your run-of-the-mill “just be yourself” chat. It’s real, raw, and full of wisdom from women who’ve been there, done that, and got the T-shirt. So grab your favorite beverage (and maybe a notebook), and tune in. And when you’re done, hit reply and tell me: What’s one way you’re using your voice this year? Let’s keep this conversation going, Best, P.S. I’m always up for more panel appearances like the Wisdom Panel! If you or someone in your network hosts podcasts or live streams on communication, brand messaging, or storytelling, feel free to connect with me through my podcast or event planning forms on my website. Let’s collaborate!

Hello, Reader, my fellow word lover, We’ve all heard the saying, “If you’re the smartest person in the room, it’s time to find a different room.” If you know me, you’ve likely heard me say it more than once—it’s one of my mantras. When I start feeling too wise for my own good (or, as I like to joke, putting the “ass” in “wiseass”), I grab my metaphorical backpack and seek out new adventures. After all, who wants to be the smartest one when there’s so much more to learn? One of the smarter...
Hello Reader, Young Padawan, Thanks to the magic of scheduling emails, when you read this, I’ll be soaking up the sun on the sandy beaches of Aruba with a good book in hand! I mean, is there any better way to kick off National Reading Month? I’d love to hear what you’re diving into these days. Recently, I’ve enjoyed The Midnight Library, a tremendous feat of the imagination that depicts a breathtaking version of the afterlife. I’ve also enjoyed The Art Forger and The Lioness of Boston. The...
Hey there, March 2nd is Dr. Seuss’s birthday, and in my world, that means it’s also a day to remember my late mother, who—without fail—dressed as the Cat in the Hat on Dr. Seuss’ birthday. Listen, we all have our hobbies. This was hers. And she wore that striped hat with gusto. Dr. Seuss gave us plenty of whimsical rhymes and wacky characters, but he also imparted lessons in empathy. "Horton Hears a Who" reminds us that a person’s a person, no matter how small. "The Sneetches" tells us that...
