Hi there, Writing this from a dock in Wisconsin. Short one, I promise. (well it’s short for me🫠) Two things are getting lumped together right now in the AI world, and they’re not the same. If your eyes are already glazing on this line you might want to skip this week’s newsletter! ​Anthropic announced this week that […]

Hi there, About that Chicago meetup…. For those not following, I put out an impromptu “if anyone wants to meet, I’ll be here” call since I’m back in the Midwest for a month. WILL ANYONE SHOW UP!?!??! Me, ordering my 3rd seltzer water with lime at the bar solo. Not too much later (phew!), I watched as women trickled […]

Hey there,​It’s been one full week since we touched down in Chicago from Lisbon and the Midwest Ranch & Flavored Beverage Bonanza is officially underway. We are so deprived in Europe. Feeling like a *slight stranger in your literal backyard is an odd feeling. Added to this is that I lived in NYC for the […]

Hi there,​So my oldest is 12 (nearly 13 in three months.) He’s the only kid in his friend group (almost his grade) without a phone. We’re the designated hang house (master plan going great over here thanks for asking💅) but I’m also the “can’t be on your phones” house. A few weekends ago collecting all the devices before they went […]

Hi there, I know I’m late to this party but I just started the book, “10x is easier than 2X” last week. SO many people recommended it to me (devoured it) and then I promptly went down a Dan Sullivan rabbit hole (one of the authors) who has apparently coached more leaders and founders than pretty much anyone on this planet. […]

Hi there, Where did we leave off? Oh right… the “AI Female Backlash.”We’ll get back to that below… But first I need to tell you about my mom’s bucket list, which is not like the others. She flew into Lisbon last week from Chicago (cleaning products from the MotherShip in tow for her equally cleaning obsessed […]

Hey there, I’m not one for getting in on the Instagram comment train lest I end up upset, nervous system popping, dropping F bombs all before the hour of 7AM. (have gone through a few Olympian medal stages of that in full disclosure.) But today I was not to be played with. All of a sudden I […]

Hey there! Last year I finally met my co-founder Wiebke (but you can call her Vee) in person for the first time. Some of you might remember that reunion if you follow me on Instagram… where her first words to me were, “OMG your face isn’t symmetrical!!” 🙃🙃🙃 I am still laughing about that. Vee’s attention to […]

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 […]

Hi there, OK so where did we leave off last time.. That’s right…HACKATHON. 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 […]
