Just finished Happiness 101 (https://a.co/d/h1JNP6i) by Dr. Tim Bono and couldn’t recommend it more for anyone curious about what positive psychology truly is, what it isn’t, and the simple, free tools you can start using today to boost happiness.

This isn’t a “just trust me, it works” kind of book—it’s one that grounds every recommendation in the research behind it. A refreshing reminder that happiness isn’t luck, it’s a skill we can practice and strengthen.

If you’re looking for practical, science-backed ways to live with more intention and joy, this book is a must-read. 🤎

Remember back in August when I said I’d be sharing homework from my speaker workshop “over the next few weeks”? Yeah… about that. 😂

Here’s my mission statement — clean, simple, and complete.

If you’re looking for a speaker for your next conference and this mission resonates, I’d love to join you. Reach out anytime.

Thriving > Surviving. Always. 🤎

I just opened my Beyond the Pipeline hardcopy (!!!) and re-reading Cassie Leonard’s introduction took me right back to Ferrera’s Barbie speech — a true rallying cry, but this time for women in STEMM.

This intro + these stories + hearing women at our launch happy hour who shared how much this book is needed… all remind me exactly why we’re here.

“You are worthy of working in an environment where you are seen, supported, and respected. Don’t accept anything less.”
— Cassie Leonard ()

🤎Let’s spread this rallying cry. I have two copies of our international best seller (!!!) I’d love to get into the hands of people who will read them, reflect on them, and keep the conversation going. If this resonates, comment or send me a message.

We had a special guest at our quarterly goals review. 🤎

Earlier this year I shared how we use to guide our yearly planning—with a few tweaks of our own. And now I’m putting it all into one place:

📝 A FREE Couples Goal Setting PDF with our full outline, quarterly check-in questions, and templates for documenting everything—from big-picture priorities to the tiny habits that move them forward.

It’s not ready just yet, but if it’s something you’d like, drop a 🤎 or “PDF please” and I’ll make sure you’re the first to get it.

Writing this chapter came at a time when I needed the positive psychology reframe the most.

In “From Surviving to Thriving,” I share how the THRIVE framework—originally created to support moms in labor—translates beautifully into helping women thrive in STEMM careers. Because thriving isn’t just about powering through… it’s about optimizing our:
💡 Thoughts
🔁 Habits
❤️ Relationships
🧭 Instincts
💫 Values
🌿 Environments

On August 12th, I’ll be sharing more about this framework and how to bring it to life in your own work and world.

Now excuse me while I go reread this chapter- I have a feeling I could use the reminder as I navigate this maternity leave. 😂

24/06/2025

If it’s been quiet over here, it’s because life has been… full. Beautifully, chaotically full.

There’s been so much joy and so many baby snuggles.

But also: leaking through my jammies, multiple loads of laundry on the floor, and re-learning all things newborn.

In a world of AI and influencing, I’m here for the movement.

Not all perfection—just love, mess, gratitude, and remembering that thriving > surviving.

God bless maternity leave.
God bless my husband.
God bless the people who check in, drop in, and surround us with so much love.

I’m looking forward to sharing more soon.
But for now… I’m right here. 🤎

The moment my daughter Josie came into this world, everything shifted. 💗 I found myself holding not just her, but a deeper purpose.

While in recovery, I was reading We Can Do Hard Things by and Amanda Doyle and this line hit like lightning:
“Social media started off fun, but now… it feeds on our sense of unworthiness. It’s destroying women and girls.”

With Josie in my arms, those words echoed louder than ever. I created this page to be the opposite of that. A space of strength, softness, truth, and sisterhood. 🤎 Before her, it was for us. Now, it’s also for her. For my nieces. For every girl growing up needing a world that embraces their power—not destroying them. 🌍💫

Although Josie stayed breech and I delivered via c-section, the THRIVE framework I teach in my Positive Childbirth Course became my own anchor — guiding my own Thoughts, Habits, Relationships, Instincts, Values, and Environments.

🕊️ So today, in honor of Josie’s arrival and this deeper calling, I’m offering something special:
The first 10 people to message me will receive FREE access to my Positive Childbirth Course. 🎁 Feel free to share with your friends!

Because we can do hard things — and we don’t have to do them alone. 🫶

Let this be a safe space. A soft landing. A beginning.

I trained for the birth like I’ve trained for a marathon. I knew the breathwork. I knew how to ground, how to listen, how to move through it all. I was excited to experience the beauty and power of birth one last time.

But at 39 weeks, this little one remains breech and now we’re scheduled for a C-section.

And I’ll be honest: I was disappointed and I caught myself in a thought spiral.

My brain kept offering me this thought: I feel like I had trained for a marathon only to have it canceled a week before.

But then I paused—I went back to the THRIVE framework.

And I asked myself: “Is this thought true? Is it helpful?”

And here’s the truth:
🙅‍♀️This isn’t a marathon that got canceled.
🤷‍♀️This is more like prepping to hike Havasupai Falls…and learning I’ll be taking a helicopter to the waterfalls instead of hiking.

Different? Yes.
But I’ll still arrive to the same euphoric view.
I’ll still feel the joy.
I’ll still get to hold my baby. 🤎

Because the **destination—meeting your child—**was never about how you got there. It was about getting there whole.

And that’s what I want for every mother:
To feel powerful, supported, and at peace with whatever path your body and baby co-create.

This is exactly what we explore in my Positive Childbirth Course— Not one “right” birth, but your most peaceful one.

Birth doesn’t have to go “as planned” to be profoundly powerful.

It can still be sacred. Still beautiful. Still YOU. 🤎

The course is rooted in positive psychology, mindfulness, and the THRIVE framework. If you’re expecting or supporting someone who is, I’d love to share it with you.
