HOLA! We are STILL spring breaking over here. In our car Griswold style through the Spanish coastline. Most of us we’re all still speaking to each other. 🎉 ​And we are all getting some history education on our favorite podcast on all things World War II, the history of racism in America, The Congo (I had no […]

Hi, I’m writing this from the road somewhere in between Cadiz, Spain and Malaga. Three boys packed into the car, snacks everywhere, someone’s foot is veering dangerously close to the other brother’s foot and I booked tonight’s hotel approximately 40 minutes ago from the passenger seat. I can FEEL all my Type A planners writhing […]

Hello! Ok so I promise I am not turning these weekly newsletters into Hack-a-thon chronicles…. (yet).. KIDDING.​But I need to tell you some things that have been on my mind since going to this hack-a-thon last week (in case you missed last week’s issue where I only told you 32 times)​​​So the aftermath of that was […]

Hello!​WOW. A LOT has happened since I was last on this blog. Warning: SPICY takes below. Get your mugs of coffee wine in position!​Apparently being on the brink of WWIII perpetrated by a group of the most unhinged, “wtf is a moral” collection of old white dudes isn’t great for a nervous system.​Or a “casual decompress” Instagram […]

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 […]

Back in 2021 when I was about a year into trying to run online programs, I came across a book that changed how I think.​But let me rewind slightly. Prior to Covid I NEVER thought I could make money online because I didn’t really know that whole world existed.​But in March 2020, when everything shut […]

*****get cozy this is a BIT of a longer read. But one that I hope is worth your time. ​​Last Friday, I had the biggest meeting of my entrepreneurial life. A reminder that you never know who is watching you. Not everyone COMMENTS and LIKES and REPLIES. (although please don’t stop if you do😆) And if you […]

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 […]
