I remember sitting in my office thinking I didn’t have enough to say to start a podcast. I had the idea and desire, but I didn’t trust my voice yet. And if I’m honest, I think that’s where a lot of women get stuck. Not because they don’t have something valuable to share, but because they’re waiting to feel ready first. In this week’s episode of Doing Business Like a Woman , I’m taking you behind t...

Twenty years ago, I didn’t start my business to build a million-dollar brand. I started it because I wanted freedom. I wanted time to hike with my dog, experiences with my now-husband, work that felt fun, and a life that felt like mine. And over the last two decades, my definition of wealth has grown and shifted more times than I can count. In this week’s episode of Doing Business Like a Woman , I...

I was sitting at the dinner table with my teenagers the other night, and somehow the conversation shifted to a topic on AI, creativity, and trust. I wasn’t surprised by their opinions on the technology, because they frequently poke fun at me for using it. However, it was moving to hear how deeply they care about what’s real and the importance of actually thinking for themselves. And that got me th...
