✨ Indianapolis HR friends — I’m coming your way next week! ✨
I’m so excited to speak at IndySHRM on Wednesday, June 10 at Butler University.

We’ll be talking about one of my favorite topics:
💥 Squash the Sunday Scaries: Reignite Your Workforce with Better Employee Experience 💥

Because let’s be honest…
🫠The Sunday Scaries are not just a Sunday night problem. 😰

They show up when employees feel:
→ disconnected
→ burned out
→ unclear
→ under-supported
→ tired of constant change

And when that happens, it impacts everything.
🫥 Retention.
💔 Trust.
😤 Manager effectiveness.
🫣Customer experience.
💰 Business results.

In this session, we’ll simplify what better Employee Experience actually looks like in practice — and how HR leaders can start making meaningful progress without overcomplicating the work.

We’ll talk about:
✨ how to rebuild trust
✨ how to spot the early signs of burnout and disengagement
✨ how to connect EX to real business outcomes
✨ how to take small, practical action right away

I can’t wait to be in the room with IndySHRM for this conversation, my next stop on my book tour.

✨ NEW EPISODE ✨
Need a moment to reset your energy?
Not fix your whole life.
Not make a massive plan.
Not force yourself to “push through.”
Just pause.
Breathe.
And come back to yourself.
Today’s episode of The Simplifiers Podcast is a 20-minute guided visualization called:
🎧 How to Reset Your Energy
And it’s one you can do with me — not just listen to.
Because maybe the first half of the year asked a lot of you.
The meetings.
The decisions.
The constant change.
The invisible emotional labor.
The things you handled that no one else even saw.
Whew. Yeah.
That’s a lot.
🧘‍♀️ This is your pause.
✨ A 20-minute reset.
☀️ A chance to notice what’s been draining you, what’s been restoring you, and what your energy is trying to tell you.
In this guided visualization, we’ll explore:
• What has been taking more energy than you realized
• What has been giving you energy and joy
• What you may need more of in this next season
• What you may need less of
• One small way to reset today
So find a quiet moment.
Put on your headphones.
Take one deep breath.
Let’s come back to ourselves — one breath at a time.
🎧 Listen now on The Simplifiers Podcast.
💬 Save this for the next time your energy feels low.
And tell me: what’s one thing that restores you?

Fear had me frozen.

For 12 months, I avoided fixing my toilet.

Not because I couldn’t figure it out.

Because I was afraid I’d flood my house.
Afraid I’d make it worse.
Afraid I’d have to pay $300+ for a plumber.
So I did what a lot of us do when a task feels too big…

I froze.

Then last Thursday, May 28, on AA1559 from Chicago to Dallas, I was boarding the plane next to the kindest man.

Somehow, we got to talking about this toilet situation.

And with one gentle, simple bit of encouragement, he helped me believe:

“Oh. Maybe I can actually do this.”

And I did.

So now I’m trying to find him to say thank you.

If you know the kind stranger (older gentleman with silver, short hair)  who was on flight AA1559 from Chicago to Dallas on May 28… please send him this video or tag him.

Because sometimes the smallest encouragement from the right person can help someone finally do the thing they’ve been avoiding.

And sir, if this finds you:

Thank you. You helped me more than you know. 💛

With AI advancing, educational institutions and workplaces worry about people losing critical thinking skills. Think WALL-E: humans becoming passive due to over-reliance on tech. To achieve career goals, honing critical thinking is crucial. AI excels at patterns but lacks context and true understanding.
