For International Women’s Day!And no I will never stop telling people I did this.Did any of you go in your city?!Well here we all are.All 60ish of us in Lisbon and somehow I’m the only person in the photo who can’t contort her […]

Hey there,It’s been a minute. Partly because I thought our school had camps lined up all last week for all 3 boys… and then Sunday night we realized neither of us knew what we were talking about. Welcome to the Beta Parenting household. Though that’s honestly unfair to my husband – as he’s the one […]


I had a totally different email planned for today -a behind-the-scenes look at what it’s like inside my storytelling programs -but I don’t feel compelled to write that today.Last night, while trying (and failing) not to rage scroll🥴 I kept getting caught up in the courage of so many people (looking at you Minnesotans.)But one reel LITERALLY stopped […]
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 […]

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 […]
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 […]

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 […]
This week, someone asked me to rank the different buckets in my life – business, relationships, health, spirituality. ***HAPPY MONDAY TO ME🥴🥴🥴🥴 When I got talking about spirituality, I almost started to cry. I took myself by surprise and sputtered at her, “I don’t know where this is even coming from.” I grew up Catholic. […]
