Leadership Inside Out

Issue 144

Growth & Rest + Summer Photo Drop

August 15, 2026
Hello Beautiful Human,

I love writing to people who earnestly desire to grow and make a meaningful impact.

You Rock!!

Holding the desire for growth and also not striving to the point of exhaustion is a tension I feel personally at times and also witness with my clients.

Reflect:

  • How do you know when you’ve done enough?
  • How are you effectively filling your cup?
  • Are you taking action from fear, or love & commitment?

These are the type of questions we ask together in Wired for Joy & Empowerment.

We ask the questions not to find the ‘perfect’ answer, but to clarify your thinking as a leader and to bring awareness to your agency and responsibility to care for your mindset, emotional, and physical wellbeing.

Don’t wait until your energy is on life support and you’re sitting alone in your car in the parking lot unable to move forward and face all the leadership decisions awaiting you in your office while carrying a weight inside your chest.

Protecting and strengthening your mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing is a practice.

A practice that needs to be integrated into your morning routine, the breaks between meetings, and the way you talk to yourself at the end of the day.

When you feel supported in these practices they become the regenerative fuel that allows your passion, brilliance, and love to make the impact you desire.

Now is the time to join a group of conscious change makers who are unlocking new levels of joy & ease together.

Enrollment is open. I’d love to have you join.

If you want to talk through this opportunity or have additional questions grab time for a coffee chat asap.

Summer Adventures

So far I’ve danced, a lot – The Walker Rooftop, Backyard Parties, Organizational Events… Give me a beat and I’m dancing.

Family Trip to South Carolina for Shotokan Karate Nationals with a stop in Chicago.

Time swimming & paddleboarding on the Kettle River in MN.

Making Art – Watercolor and Collage.

Competed in my first puzzle competition (I got 3rd).

These are some of the ways I’ve filled my cup which allows me to create from overflow. What’s filling your cup?
