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 […]

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 […]

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. […]

I’m guessing all of my fellow Americans are checked out with a White claw right about now, so I’ll keep this brief (well, “Patrice Brief” which is basically NOT)​​By the way… is White Claw still a thing? I just don’t have access to grocery options anymore unless you count AISELS of dried fish that sit […]

Hello!​This one is a doozy (seriously get your POT of coffee ready)… you’ve been warned.​But there is a lot to unpack and I want to give you the down low on all that I learned in Cannes last week and what that means for you, your work, or your business.​I’ll spare you ALL of the mental […]
