Be the Friend that Hides the Body

Everyone needs that one friend. You know the one I’m talking about. Some call them their “ride or die,” but I call mine the one that “hides the body.” In …

Three Points…Tops!

There’s nothing better than family time spent together. A major bonus is when we explore a new place for the first time together. There’s always more laughter and fun to be had.

G kept giggling and saying, “faster, faster” and @massagematt was more than happy to oblige.

The major difference between juggling and balancing with intention is why you take on so much. Why do you?

Being back with all my boys is my happy place. We had a wonderful adventure yesterday exploring Bonnet Springs Park together. I’m not one single step closer to having any of my laundry done or having an empty suitcase, but I have a full heart at least.

Yesterday’s challenge was more flight delays which leads me to assume I have more to learn about patience.

My secret to making it to 5 events, across 4 prope

My secret to making it to 5 events, across 4 properties, in 3 days on the Vegas strip is taping my toes like I’m preparing for an all day dance rehearsal again. Who knew all those years dancing prepared me for this 🤣

A stylish pair of oxfords is a requirement, at least in my book, when you’re logging serious miles on your feet. After 3 days I’m walking away blister free and with far too many compliments about my shoes to count.

I haven’t fallen off the map, but I have been consumed by my job this week. Supporting the teams at 5 events across 4 properties in 3 days is quite a challenge but one that leans on my strengths of being a jack of many trades.

I’d bet this is why I have music in the background still while I work 🤣

Today’s chaos includes a travel day for work and meetings between flights. Is it weird how normal that has become?

Studies indicate that the role of a mother is equi

Studies indicate that the role of a mother is equivalent to the work of 2.5 full-time jobs. This is based on the amount of time and effort dedicated to childcare, household tasks, and other responsibilities, even if the mother also works outside the home.

What you’re doing is absolutely remarkable. According to research, you’re likely spending 98 hours a week on parent related tasks. In addition, 40.5% of all mom’s with children under 18 are equal, primary or sole income earners for their family.

Happy Mother’s Day to those who manage to make the impossible happen day in and day out. Your unseen efforts, mental load, and lack of sleep are not lost on me.

It’s full of detours that will present you with ups and downs. How you handle each step of that journey is what makes you uniquely you.

Some mornings on site require all the coffee and some extra smiles to keep fueling all the miles walked.

That’s where your power lies too. Your life experiences make you unique.

No one has been on the EXACT same journey as you have so remember that’s part of your advantage because it’s shaped your perspective.

There will be those days where you will feel as if you’re on the verge of being defeated, but you will also remember to take a deep breath to center yourself and be reminded that you’re a force to reckoned with.

Inspiring your team doesn’t come from demanding they follow everything you say and do. It comes from earning their respect so they are willing to join you.

Multitasking is a skill that many believe they have but very few truly do it with ease. It’s not for everyone and that’s 100% okay.

I’ve found that you need to think from both the heart and mind to be the most effective leader. Coming out of three days focused on how I lead my team and what that looks like for the whole department, I wouldn’t change a thing. I’ll always look at my team members as the whole person they are and cater how I lead them based on what they need from me.

Earlier this month I was fortunate to be invited back to @rosencollege by the Dean to speak to staff and faculty on an alumni panel. It was there that Kevin Murphy made the connection of me being a past student of his, went up to his office, and returned with this reminder of how I spent my spring break 20 years earlier.

It was in my last semester at the college that I was fortunate to have him as my professor, for a second time, and take part in this incredible trip to France. I’m in the second row, third in from the right when looking at it.

That course taught me so much more than simply about “Culture and Cuisine” as it was titled. To this day it’s the #1 experience that solidified my love for traveling.

There’s something so peaceful about this view! I’m off to enjoy some leadership courses today instead of admiring this peaceful view, but I love a good opportunity to learn more.
