You Don’t Have To Be Friends With Everyone

Often in the past I’ve spoken about how I have a very small family of friends, but that’s because I hold each one of them to be so near and …

Anyone need a custom kombucha topper? I think I know two little entrepreneurs with a business idea.

In all honesty, they just hated the way my drink smelled 😂

This summer has been about new experiences, opening our minds, and learning something new. I think it’s safe to say that this trip left a lasting impression.

It’s not easy, but what really is nowadays. Shifting your perspective and silencing all the unnecessary noise that’s around you can make a world of difference in persevering.

This may be more of a reminder for me than you this week as I continue facing a new challenge to overcome.

I’m going to be honest, the guilt of being a wor

I’m going to be honest, the guilt of being a working mom is massive and the more successful you are in one area of life the more you feel like you’re failing in another.

It’s like being a plate spinner. You’re constantly adding new plates while having to keep the original ones from falling and shattering into a million pieces at your feet.

Despite all of that, I think being a working mom is the best choice for our family for a multitude of reasons. The biggest reason is that our boys see both of their parents doing something they are passionate about. We both serve others in unique ways and that gre charges our batteries.

When we explain what we do for our kids we explain how others are helped by the work we perform. While we all wish that family time could be unlimited, at least our kids know we love what we do and that makes the mom guilt a little easier to tolerate at the end of the day.

The decision to embrace my natural hair texture an

The decision to embrace my natural hair texture and then color as well was not an easy one. I had been straightening my hair for over 20 years, so that it would look presentable, so there was a lot of heat damage on top of the damage from coloring it.

The transition wasn’t easy, but I’m glad I didn’t give up. Lock down gave me the courage to stop coloring my hair and since I’ve primarily been working from home since there weren’t many who had to witness me growing the color out in person.

Now, I can’t believe I didn’t do this earlier but I’m glad I finally did. Better late than never.

There’s a lot flying at us each day to either handle, delegate, or deflect. Remember what you actually have control of as you make decisions. It’s also the thing people will remember you for.

It was 9 years ago, last month, that I stepped out

It was 9 years ago, last month, that I stepped outside my confront zone and was on the opening production team for this magnificent show’s relocation to its current home in Hyperion Theater at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

Just last week, 🎶for the first time in forever🎶 (pun absolutely intended), I revisited it and sat in the audience with my boys. I got to see the show through their eyes and, although they thought they were too cool for it when we walked in, hearing their laughter was the best part.

This is the only thing I’ve ever had the pleasure of working on that my children have gotten to enjoy. All the years of immersive events and custom shows that I’ve done and they’ve never gotten to enjoy a single one (except while I was pregnant with them and they danced on the inside).

While my current work will also likely not be witnessed by them, I’m going to enjoy my memories of experiencing this one moment in time with them for as long as I can.

The moment you stop growing, aspiring, and/or moving is the exact moment you become stagnant and start drifting backwards as others around you keep moving forward. Don’t give up on yourself and your dreams!

I’m back from my PTO and already deep into preproduction planning for all the events I’ll tackle in the second half of this year. Less than 4 weeks until the first one kicks off and the ball won’t stop rolling after that until Christmas break.

If you were privileged to take advantage of the long holiday weekend, then welcome back to another wonderful week of work ahead. Let’s kick it off on the right foot!

If you have been pushing hard to keep work each day without a break, you’re doing an amazing job and I see you. I know it’s not easy and you’re drained. Keep your head up!

We finally gave @gibsgives the freedom he’s been dreaming of since we adopted him by getting the backyard fenced in.

The first thing @massagematt did after the fence was complete was pull the staked leash out of the ground so Gibson can now run, play, and enjoy his freedom safely in the backyard.

He’s 100% going to take his Neighborhood Watch / Nosey Neighbor status to a whole new level 👀🐾

When your old team, that you love dearly, calls in a favor the only right answer will be yes!

I had been waiting 3 years for that phone call and although the night had a wild start, which I honestly expected, I would say yes all over again if given the chance.

Whether it’s your direct leadership or company a

Whether it’s your direct leadership or company as a whole, others will try to point you down the path THEY want you on. It’s up to you to decide if that’s what you want or if you want to be in control of deciding the direction you go.

Use your voice, even when it feels scary or daunting, and stand up for what you want. Don’t look back later and wish you had spoken up for yourself once years have passed you by.

This year I dedicated myself to finding answers, no matter how many doctors gaslit me. Here I am 6 months later with very few answers and a lot of frustrating trips to see medical professionals.

Having invisible illnesses and hidden disabilities is never easy, but it shouldn’t be this hard to get help from those who are supposed to want to find you answers. I won’t give up. Just hoping my persistence pays off this year.

Bravely forge the path for yourself. If you aren’t scared yet then you’re probably not aiming high enough for yourself. Dream bigger for yourself!

The best part about returning home after an event

The best part about returning home after an event is getting to enjoy relaxing moments with the boys like an after school impromptu trip to @absofruitlyus, which is certainly a fan favorite among the three of us.

When those around me stand by my side, ready to face whatever wild twists and turns come next, it speaks volumes.

For many years I had a team at work that did that daily and at the time I didn’t recognize just how lucky I was for that support time and time again.

Last week the team joining me recreated that exact experience and it left me so thankful. Don’t take moments like that for granted because not all teams are created equal.
