I looked up my last email of December 2023 -roughly 120 days into living in a brand new country – to get a pulse check of where I was a year ago.​Some of my own writing from last year stopped me dead in my scroll. Reading those words now, sitting in my Lisbon apartment (the same […]

My idea of happiness has just been flipped on its head.​Generally speaking, I equate sunny places being analogous to happier moods, friendlier people, and overall elevated mood levels.​Then one chaotic, last-minute family trip to Finland this weekend completely shattered everything I thought I knew. This sky is REAL. I repeat this sky is REAL. How […]

I learned this week there are 4.6 BILLION pieces of content swirling around on the internet every single day. And that the MAJORITY gets ZERO engagement.​​ ​On one hand, pat yourself on the back because at least your posts are getting SOME likes?! (or are you in that Majority camp?)​​Oh and if you’re a “content on […]

The next four years are going to be uncharted territory.​I’m well aware not everyone who follows me here wants to hear my political thoughts or cares and trust me, from a business standpoint it would be easier to just “put my head down shut my mouth” and carry on as “business as usual.”​But the nature […]

Est reading time: 7-9 minutes (promise this is worth your phone time)​​​In My World:​​School finally started this week (thank you Jesus) and I forgot Monday was Labor Day.​AM I EVEN AMERICAN ANYMORE.😭​My incessant slacking to my American founder client only realized when the day was almost over. Our second school year in Lisbon. Back to perpetual confusion on the […]

Happy Thanksgiving week! I ate freshly caught fish and drank white wine this past Sunday along the waterfront and my BRAIN IS CONFUSED. This is not some veiled humble brag but a genuine WTF is going on here. My first Thanksgiving in another country that is still flirting in the 70s and has chorizo as […]

How was your Thanksgiving? (if you celebrate that is) Turns out Lisbon gives No f*cks! (I mean DUH). But I have to say my nostalgia for all things red, white, blue and large balloon inflatables were at an all time high last Thursday. It was a really random dayBut it was also a beautiful day […]

Today is my last day as an official “New Yorker” as we fly out to Lisbon on a one-way ticket tonight with my husband and 3 kids.  Thirteen of the hardest, craziest, most fun, exhilarating chapters of my life. That chapter is closed.   So in lieu of an AI or Storytelling insight….may I present to […]

I am obsessed with this brand, Midday Squares, and confession – I only JUST ordered their product.  How can it be that I am obsessed with a brand for the better part of a year…and only just became a customer? It’s because they are marketing geniuses. Actually, correction…they are storytelling geniuses. Cliff Notes: they are […]
