One of the toughest parts about parenting is managing appearances when you’ve had a shitty day. My default might be to get cranky, so I have to intentionally breathe through my angst and put my game face on. If you are a parent, or if you’ve cared for kids, you know it’s not easy. In […]

Courage. It’s one of those words that occasionally solicit my middle finger. I get tired and want to just do nothing or sit with netflix binge watching of White Collar or other mind-candy shows so I can forget my stress. But what I need is courage to get through all of the loss of 2017. […]

It was good to catch up with an old friend and work colleague while in London. We had a brief conversation where we reminisced about our account in Paris, and all of the PM work we used to do, and then shifted to our roles today. He confessed that he doesn’t get into the details […]

I’ve been told at the end of every departure or break up “you’ll be fine”. My gut response is: “Well thanks a bleeping lot. That’s just what I need after a dose of rejection – that I’m bleeping strong and will be bleeping fine. Well bleep you”. And then I sigh and think, well now […]

As I sit in discomfort from fasting this morning, I curse myself for having to wait for an 11:30 a.m. physical with my doctor instead of a sane time like 8:30 a.m. What was I thinking? I’m starving. And black coffee can only go so far. I can’t really work as I still fight recent […]

We can get too comfortable in life. And just when we’re feeling on top of our game, we fall off our chair while playing. At dinner with friends, I met someone who runs a successful company in London. When I asked him whether he finds his work fulfilling, he said not always. The highs are […]

We don’t get to choose the times we live in. In fact, we don’t even get to choose where we’re born. Sometimes we are just lucky. For those who believe that a deity played a role in their luck, here’s my question. With your time on earth, what are you going to do with it? […]

Are you one of the smart ones? I always love reading studies that show that 98% of all children attending first year of elementary school are genius in areas such as creativity and divergent thinking, but by high school it’s less than 30%. Why is that? What are we fostering and sabotaging in our rigid […]

I am watching some friends experience some pretty big break ups. And I’m finding it surprising that it’s mostly the women who are leaving, on their own terms. I suppose it’s from watching society slowly cave in on women at a time when we feel we’re better than that, better than society’s definition of our […]

Doubt constantly slips in between the cracks as I navigate my career choices. It doesn’t help that I don’t have clarity from cohorts and it’s super easy to just put your head down and coast to avoid conflict. But that’s not really going to help me get through this… whatever it is. So your mission […]
