I’m often asked how I got into this work of full-time keynote speaking. This is my long and winding road story to get to this destination doing the work I was called to do!

We’re not meant to keep our dreams locked inside of us. We’re meant to live with joyful aliveness and self-expression, sharing our voice and our gifts with the world. Here’s how I did that with the release of my first song, Somebody.

I never used to share stuff like this because I was afraid of what people would think if they knew the truth about who I was. Now I feel compelled to share stories like this one because I know vulnerability is an act of courage.

Five years ago, I burned out and bottomed out. But that 𝙗𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙠𝙙𝙤𝙬𝙣 led to one of the greatest 𝙗𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙠𝙩𝙝𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝𝙨 of my life.

I wasn't supposed to talk about it. Few of us feel like we can talk about it, especially at work.

When we're burned out, we normalize feeling depleted all the time, and joy feels like an elusive indulgence. We try to talk ourselves out of pausing, resting, recalibrating and asking for help and keep pushing ourselves.

As the daughter of two entrepreneurs, I've been given the gift of imagining what's possible and having agency to make my visions and dreams a reality. Here's what I've learned from my greatest mentor - my dad

If you ask just about anyone how they’re feeling right now, you’ll probably end up with some version of the word “tired.”

But it’s more than just a lack-of-sleep-tired. It’s a feeling of chronic exhaustion and fatigue at the soul level.

Few of us would think of sickness as a gift, but I’ve learned that some gifts come in unexpected packages. Sometimes we’re given gifts that we would have never asked for that end up being what we need. These are the lessons I learned from burning out and recovering from Epstein-Barr Virus.

Before having her first of three children, she didn't see herself as a mom. She didn’t think she’d be nurturing enough.

We weren't close growing up, but over the past decade, I've come to respect, admire and more deeply connect -

What advice would you give to your younger self? When I think back to who I was as a little girl, I still have some things in common with that girl, but this is the advice I would give her to encourage her to and remind her she was never alone.

Fear tends to accompany vulnerability, especially when we’re putting our WHOLE selves out there into the world.

Fear of rejection. Fear of judgment. Fear of being “too much.” But I have to share this.
