Your resume is probably full of words that mean absolutely nothing to a hiring manager. Results-driven. Dynamic leader. Passionate professional. Strategic thinker. Strong communicator. Team player. Every one of those tells a hiring manager nothing. They've read them on every resume today. These are filler words taking up space where your actual value should be. The fix: Instead of "results-driven leader" → "Grew revenue from $12M to $28M in 18 months by rebuilding the sales process." Instead of "strong communicator" → "Presented quarterly business reviews to the C-suite and secured $2M in additional budget." Every vague phrase on your resume is a missed opportunity. If you can swap a buzzword for a specific accomplishment with a number, do it.

Everyone says to follow your passion, but that’s not always good advice. "Follow your passion" sounds inspiring. It's also how people end up broke and confused. Most people's passions don't pay. And even when they do, passion fades. The thing you're obsessed with today might bore you in five years. I've watched women leave six-figure careers to "follow their passion" only to realize their passion was a hobby, not a business. Don't follow your passion. Follow your alignment. Alignment is at the intersection of: 1. What you're good at 2. What the market actually values 3. What gives you energy And alignment is lucrative. A woman who's aligned doesn't wake up screaming "I love my job!" every day. But she feels competent, valued, and energized more days than not. She's growing, she's compensated well, and she doesn't dread Mondays. That's a career that’s actually sustainable.

The one phrase that makes you sound more junior in every meeting: "Does that make sense?" You may say it after presenting an idea, or after explaining your strategy. Every time, you're undermining what you just said. It communicates: I'm not sure what I said was clear. Or worse, I'm not sure it was smart. What to say instead: → What questions do you have? → I recommend we move forward with this approach. Are we aligned? → Let me know if you'd like me to go deeper on any of that. The language you use matters at the leadership level. Your words either reinforce your authority or chip away at it. "Does that make sense" chips away at your authority. Catch yourself this week and replace it. Within a month, people will perceive you differently.

If I had one year to change my life, these are the 5 habits I'd start immediately: 1️⃣ Set one intention every morning before looking at my phone. Not a to-do list, but an intention. "Today I'm going to be present." It takes 10 seconds and grounds your day. 2️⃣ Reach out to one person every week doing something I admire. Not to ask for anything, just to connect. 52 relationships in a year. 3️⃣ Build a nighttime routine that actually lets me recover. No screens after 9, sit with a book, or a journal. This signals to your brain that the day is done. 4️⃣ Say “no” to one thing every week that doesn't serve me. 5️⃣ Spend 30 minutes a week on something purely for fun. Not for productivity or for skill-building. Something that is FUN and brings me joy. A year from now, my life would look completely different.

Okay friends, we are ONE WEEK OUT from my Twine (Together) workshop and there are only 3 seats left!

If AI has you feeling a little... blah about your content, your personal brand, or your voice, this workshop is for you.

We're spending three hours together talking about how to stay authentic and stand out when everyone's using the same AI tools and starting to sound the same. In our AI-driven world, your personal brand is your biggest competitive edge.

It's open to business owners and professional women, and every attendee will leave with a copy of my book, Authentic Success: A Guide for Ambitious Women to Build Aligned Careers and Lives.

Nobody talks about the messy middle. It’s the space between who you were and who you're becoming. You've decided something needs to change. Maybe you've started making moves, but you're not there yet. The old role doesn't fit. The new one hasn't materialized. Your old identity is fading. The new one hasn't solidified. This is the messy middle. Every woman I've coached has gone through it. It's supposed to feel uncomfortable. Growth doesn't feel like growth while it's happening. It feels like uncertainty, doubt, "what am I doing." You'll be tempted to go back to the safe thing, the known thing. Resist it. The messy middle is temporary. What you're building on the other side of it isn't. Keep going! You're closer than you think.

The US economy lost 23,000 jobs last month, and it’s the first time that's happened in over a year. July jobs report: 23,000 jobs lost, way below the 83,000 gain that economists expected. May and June were both revised down by a combined 103,000. The growth we thought was happening this summer was weaker than reported. But unemployment actually dropped to 4.1%. How? People are leaving the workforce entirely. Participation rate is the lowest in five years. What this means at the Director level and above: your competition is shrinking. Fewer people actively searching. Senior-level postings are still up nearly 15% year-over-year while entry and mid-level are down. The overall market is slow, but it’s not impossible. My coaching clients are landing jobs every week. What to do: → Stay active when others are pulling back → Target roles where you're a genuine fit, no long shots → Apply within 24 hours when you see something real → Lean into your network because referrals matter more than ever in a slow market

Here’s the networking mistake I see way too many people make. After meeting with someone, they follow up by saying “Hey, just checking in!” This says nothing and adds nothing. It puts the other person to work figuring out how to respond. Instead, lead with value. Before you reach out, bring something: → An article relevant to their industry → A podcast they'd find interesting → A piece of market data they'd care about → An introduction to someone in your network Give, give, give, give, then ask. Add value AND staying top of mind. The people with the strongest networks bring value to every conversation. They’re so generous with their time and information that it makes people happy to help them. Be someone people are glad to hear from!

Most great career opportunities will come from strategic relationships. This is different from networking. Networking is more broad and focused on meeting new people. Strategic relationships are more targeted and focused. Pick 10-15 people you want connect with. Be intentional about who you pick, because you want to build a real relationship over time, not just ask them for a one-time favor. Think: hiring managers at ideal companies, recruiters who specialize in your industry, peers at other companies who are a few years ahead of you, industry leaders who you admire, or former coworkers who now work somewhere else and may be in a position to refer you. Build a relationship and communicate with them consistently. Do it now, before you need anything from them. Just be an actual human and genuinely connect. When an opportunity does come up, you’ll be the person they think of.

The difference between walking into an interview prepared and walking in ready is about 60 minutes of the right work. PREPARED: you read the job description, researched the company, and practiced some of your answers. READY: you've pressure-tested your answers against what hiring managers actually evaluate. You know which stories to tell. You've practiced out loud with pushback and feedback. You've identified gaps and have a plan. Most candidates walk in prepared, but very few walk in ready. That's what my Interview Prep Sessions are for. 60 minutes. We’ll do a mock interview, you’ll get direct feedback on what's landing and what's not, and you’ll walk into the real thing with a completely different level of confidence. If you’re in the middle of an interview process or know you’ll be interviewing soon, DM me "interview prep" and let's get you ready.
