The gets delivered tomorrow, and it includes a monthly vision board.
So I’ve been thinking about what I want to include.

More workouts.
More greens.
Healthier habits — of course.

But more than anything… I want more of this.

We’ve been watching old videos of the kids lately, and I keep realizing how quickly time is slipping through my fingers. This is my middle child. He still wants me to hold his hands (the oldest… not so much). These moments are free right now — and I know Josie’s hands will grow just as fast.

Presence.
Slowing down.
That’s what I want.

Presence with my kids.
To really know how precious — in the truest sense of the word — these moments are while we’re still in them.

It also makes me want to run home and hold my own mom’s hands… and my grandmas’ hands. 🤎

So as I build this month’s vision board, I’m asking myself:
What do I want more of — not someday, but NOW?

I’d love to know… what are you wanting more of lately? 🤎

Took PTO on Friday and used it for a creative reset. 🤎

Here’s what I tackled with the focused time:
✅ Recorded a podcast episode with .happymind
✅ Recorded the audiobook chapter of Beyond the Pipeline for
✅ Submitted a THRIVE course I started creating on maternity leave
✅ Recorded a future successful you meditation for upcoming keynotes (& to share with you!!)
✅ Re-recorded Positive Childbirth Course videos as part of a 2026 rebrand 🤎🤎🤎

Such a fulfilling day creating, building, and dreaming at — and even better getting to do it alongside with for fuel!

I’m curious- if you had a whole day to play, what would you create?!

“THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE” he exclaimed!

We hear that these are the best years of our lives and how we shouldn’t blink - and sometimes it makes me chuckle. Over the mounds of laundry, piles of diapers and endless sibling fights - these are the best!?

While I was busy getting intimidated about the 4 hour drive ahead of us — leaving one side of the family to go see the next, mentally juggling work, holiday, and life to-dos — his little exclamation blew away the cloud of overwhelm I was creating in my own mind.

It was a shift.

A reminder that our people — his grandparents, cousins, aunts, uncles — are alive and well. That we were getting to see ALL our people in one day despite the distance between us. That we have health. We have love. We have enough.

This exclamation was exactly the reminder I needed heading into the holiday season.

I’m welcoming December with Big Ted Energy — looking out for all the “best day of my life” moments… I hope you will join me! 🤎

This equation from Tim Bono’s Happiness 101 has really stuck with me:

Happiness = What We Have / What We Want

One of the most consistent findings in positive psychology is this:
The happiest people don’t necessarily have more — they simply pay more attention to what they already have.

As Bono puts it, the happiest adults “call attention to what they have with the regular practice of gratitude.”

So as we head into the holiday:
The next time you feel the urge to scroll and compare, take a moment to notice what’s already good in your life.

A small shift, but a powerful one.

Happy Thanksgiving, friends. 🤎🦃
Grateful for this community today and every day.

There are few things I love more than watching someone go after their dreams — especially when they’re as passionate about the topic as Victoria is. 🤎

Huge shoutout to .happymind for launching her YouTube channel this week and dropping her first videos! If you’ve ever wondered what the hell positive psychology actually is, her short, succinct episodes are such a great place to start.

I’ll be joining her soon to talk all things THRIVE Framework and positive psychology — but until then, go show her channel some love.

Congrats, .happymind . Keep spreading goodness. 🤎

I’m finishing the Coaching Workbook that clients will soon use to reflect on where they are and where they want to go — and this is one of the visuals inside it.

What I love about coaching is this:
It’s the one space fully devoted to your future, your vision, and what you want your life to feel like.

I’ve watched other people’s lives (and my own!!) light up with possibility — and then watched dreams become reality through coaching.

I can’t help but wonder what dreams will turn into reality through this workbook… and through simply having the space to ask questions about the future. 🤎

P.S. I’m still geeking out by the fact that I get to coach in the corporate world - thanks to those who made that possible!

Now that I’m back into a work routine, it’s easy for the critical part of me to take over:
“I’m not doing enough at work.”
“I’m missing too much at home.”
“I’m spreading myself too thin.”

Yesterday I was called home early with a sick Josie, and after realizing I’d miss today’s work events, my inner critic was getting loud.

I’ve worked with a mindset coach and therapist who’ve helped me recognize those thoughts… but today, it wasn’t those relationships or tools that pulled me out of it.

It was this drawing.

From my son.

A little portrait labeled: SPR MOM — a.k.a. Supamom.
Muscles and all. 💪🤎

If your inner critic has been creeping in too, I hope this is your reminder:
You’re doing better than you think.
Your people see you — not for what you check off, but for who you are.

Consider this your Supamom (or Super-Dad, Super-Human) moment today.

Send that inner critic home — because if you don’t, me and my Supamom muscles will come find it and do it for you. 😂

Happy weekend, friends. 🤎

Years ago, I met Leslie at an event — before I’d ever started public speaking.

Back then, I just wanted to connect with other women doing meaningful work and trying to stay grounded in the process.

Today, I stood on stage at the Women’s Conference, sharing the science of happiness and how to go from surviving → thriving. 🌿

These ladies blew me away with their energy and presence. 🤎

I left with a plant, a pot, and a heart full of gratitude — and I can’t wait to see what grows. 🌸

20/10/2025

Thank you for the inspo today! 🤎

Today’s prep for the IDEX Fire & Safety Women’s Leadership Panel has me pumped to chat about the Beyond the Pipeline book (https://a.co/d/aMlwtZ8) - and reminded me just how needed this conversation is.

The next time I’m on Teams, though, I’ll have two fewer hands, two fewer feet, and one less diaper to change. 😉

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. 🤎
