How to Focus on a Morning Routine for Business Success
Let me be honest here – I have always kinda thrived on stress and deadlines and expectations. The bigger and more unwieldy, the better. But last year – I was overwhelmed. A lot. More than I could handle, really. I knew I needed more routine in my life, but seriously… As a mom of two…

2018 Recap 2018…that was SO last year. I mean, it was a year, for sure. There were some highs (I found my incredible business tribe). And some lows (ummm, cancer). And as always, lots of lessons along the way. The good thing about lessons??? They kickstart growth. So, as tough as 2018 was, I’m grateful…
Read MoreCommitment. It’s THE word right now.
New Year’s resolutions are all the rage…at least for a few more days. Then, even the most well-intentioned human, will start to struggle with the list of promises they made to eat better, work out more, be nicer to their siblings or spouse, and take better care of themselves.

Today, my girls and I met up with Darren and his daughters (and his oldest’s +1!) at the Deerfield Fair in Deerfield, NH.

What?!?! Seriously, who do you think you are? How many times have you asked yourself this question? My guess is at least a hundred if you’ve asked it once… am I right? The other day, I got an email from a friend and colleague in my business group who I saw last week at our…

It’s been a wild few weeks, as only summer with kids and a business to manage can be, but I am actually loving it this year. I don’t know if its because my girls are older and their want and need for sleeping in matches my want and need to get work done early in…
Read MoreHow to Know When It’s Time to Put Away Your Marketing Map
Almost three years ago, I had the privilege of sitting in on a number of incredibly awesome sessions at Hubspot’s Inbound conference in Boston. I mean, wow. W.O.W. It was only the first full day, and I got to meet other marketers, CEOs, Entrepreneurs… all super cool in so many different ways. And all there to…

Overwhelm. It’s something that most of us are all too familiar with.
