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 […]

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 […]
