Don’t worry…this is not my sappy end-of-year reflection or my “oh s&^#^&&### how has another year gone by” note. That one’s coming next week. (#phew)​​How are you doing by the way?​This month I’ve been balancing on that glorious thin edge between “the breakdown is imminent… today” And “I can’t believe this is my beautiful life.” (With a brief […]

Yesterday I ditched my computer entirely and spent the day with two of my favorite humans – both mentors, both friends, both currently living in Portugal for the next month. And one whom I met in person for the first time ever. We’ve been. chatting for almost 3 years online. Quick story on Gemma. The […]

My husband lost a university friend three weeks ago.Healthy. Fit. Early 40s. Two young kids. Just sold a business this year.​He came to Lisbon only last month and was playing paddle with my boys and sharing with Olly about the plans he had for 2026.​But three Tuesdays ago he went to bed and didn’t wake […]

It’s been a minute since I just… caught you up on life without trying to sell you an AI Agent–building workshop. (Although, if you did come… have you recovered yet?? Because I’m not totally sure I have🤣.)​​Here’s the guilty-pleasure song I played to welcome 200 of you into that very scary arena: Huey Lewis. (I DARE YOU […]

In case you missed Wednesday’s email… I mentioned that I’m about to love bomb your inbox for the next few weeks as I am running a “How to Build Your Own Storytelling AI Agent” workshop at the end of this month…​​Huh what?​​If you want your mind to be actually blown and see how you can turn […]

Hi there, Because I think in stories I MUST close this loop for you.. (me?)BOTH OF US 🙂 For those following along, I mentioned last week that I was invited to teach to Justin Welsh’s Substack community called “Unsubscribe.” ​Justin is the Corporate → Solopreneur Messiah. He is also the Dodo Bird/Wooly Mammoth example of when […]

Like most weeks it’s been the best of times.It’s been the “not best” of times:) We kicked off the week with my first police stop in Portugal. I was so confused why I was LITERALLY being chased down a traffic-infested highway that I SPED UP. I thought “Oh I’m in his way” not realizing that […]

We celebrated our SECOND year in Lisbon a few weeks back. And because I have zero chill and no one can just enjoy their meal or drink in peace, I made everyone emote.​Nothing like forced feeling talk!! 😍​​“What was your proudest and least proudest moment of Year 2 in Lisbon?!”, I excitedly asked my blank […]

Today I’m walking down this path to one of the most beautiful beaches that is 20 minutes from my house.​In my head I was LITERALLY saying to myself as I trailed my family and an extra friend “how lucky am I that I get to come here and also work on a random Friday.” I […]

I may be bloated, inflamed in the face from too much sodium (fish & chips + pints on repeat will do that)… and definitely pale. …. But do not sleep on an English summer. It’s underrated. We head back to Lisbon tomorrow after a month of bopping around seaside towns (seriously – where were Cameron and Jude […]
