To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.
– Ralph Waldo Emerson

As I was approaching the milestone of 40, I started to think about this quote more and more. I had spent years building a successful career helping others tell their story, meanwhile I was living my own. I felt a huge pull on my heart to make a change and redefine what the next 20 years of my life and career might look like.

It was this inner-monologue, combined with a dire political climate that eventually prompted me to take a leap of faith and make the decision to leave my position as Vice President at one of the top book publishing companies and lean into the fear of the unknown. We sold our home, packed what we could, and made our way back to my husband’s home country of Australia.

We are all so busy.  Sometimes we forget to slow down, we forget to laugh. I wanted to create something that would explore life, highlight stories, remind us to laugh, and encourage growth. My hope is to empower and inspire all while being real about life – the good, the bad, the ugly, and everything in between. A curator of stories. A celebration of life.

Start the Day with Coffee. End the Day with Wine. Life is what happens in between.

I am a mom to two amazing small humans. The wife of an Aussie. A lover of books. A business-minded woman with a no BS approach to life. An activist for all things equal and fair. A former beauty queen who swears like a sailor and says it how it is. A smartass with a mild (understatement) shoe obsession. I have no patience for ignorance or intolerance and have been known to rant about everything from politics to parenting. I keep it real.
