The mood of this photo mirrors exactly how I felt The mood of this photo mirrors exactly how I felt ten years ago: serene and hopeful. On Mother’s Day, my husband gifted me a photo shoot to archive my pregnancy just weeks before our firstborn arrived. I was ecstatic. And clueless. Thinking back, there are no words I could have possibly said to that woman to prepare her for motherhood. For its relentless pace. For the joy and euphoria. Feeling immensely powerful and heartbreakingly powerless. And that’s ok. I wouldn’t have believed it anyway. When people ask me which of my three children created the biggest shift in my life, it was undoubtedly the first. Zero to one. I thought I had my sh*t together and motherhood taught me otherwise. And that’s ok. Life doesn’t come with a manual. It comes with many moms. My own incomparable mother, and a community of others who have uplifted me and empowered me. Today I honor you. Thank you for making my crazy feel normal and my mediocre pass for good enough. And on the best days you share praise and compliments like I’m a damn superhero. In a sea of judgement there is, in fact, true acceptance amongst mothers and I am grateful. We’re doing it together. Tell me… which child shifted your dynamic most? #mothersday #newmom #motherhood #momsofinstagram #family #momsquad
👠ONE. MORE. DAY! The @greenwichunitedway Sole 👠ONE. MORE. DAY! The @greenwichunitedway Sole Sisters Luncheon is TOMORROW and I finally sit down with Dateline host Andrea Canning. While you may know her also as contributor to The Today Show and Nightly News, I was surprised to learn she has written 20 Hallmark movies! I have so many questions about how she created and soared in that second, simultaneous career… all while being a mother of 6 children! It’s a fascinating life she has woven and I’ll be taking notes. Tell me… what do you want to know from Andrea? And huge shout out to the Sole Sisters Co-Chairs @kmforlini and @cew712, their entire committee, and the Greenwich United Way team. I admire your relentless hard work and dedication. #greenwichct #shoppingforgood #FinditFunditFixit #interview #ladieswholunch
📍Media Training Kits In the Making 💥Want to 📍Media Training Kits In the Making 💥Want to THINK LIKE A CEO? One of the many things my C-Suite clients have taught me is to get an entire team on board. Whether I’m training a group of 2 or a team of 12, the person in charge wants their crew to THINK IN SYNC. Not everyone speaks to the media, but EVERYONE has a public facing role. Each person must have THE SAME ANSWER to: ✔️What’s your mission? ✔️What are your core values? ✔️How do you set yourself apart from competitors? Each member of a team shares this when 📌speaking with customers and clients 📌interacting with board members 📌asking investors for money Don’t take the smaller moments for granted because SOMEONE IS ALWAYS WATCHING. #mediatraining #publicspeaking #thinklikeaboss

FILL IN THE BLANK: I WANT _______________. It se FILL IN THE BLANK: I WANT _______________. It seems like an easy statement to make because the options are endless. But to pause and consider the ONE THING we truly want in this life is TOUGH! 🌞 That’s what we tackled this weekend at the Rise & Shine Morning Retreat. Tracy Fox offered this perspective: a study of people’s BIGGEST REGRET at the end of their life was they didn’t follow a path that was authentic to them. Our challenge is to REMOVE WHAT’S BLOCKING US and STEP INTO OUR POTENTIAL. Big goals… but we HAVE TO START SOMEWHERE. I was thrilled to offer this incredible group tangible advice for taking THE NEXT BEST STEP on their authentic journey. We have AGENCY! ✨ To speak with INTEGRITY about our goals, ✨ to show up with CLARITY AND AUTHORITY, ✨ and, above all, to reflect SELF-RESPECT both physically and emotionally. Sincere and heartfelt thanks to each woman who showed up to REFLECT, to be HONEST with herself, and to DO THE WORK. #riseandshine #publicspeaking #persona #integrity #authentic #reachyourpotential
It’s Oratorical Festival season! What is that, It’s Oratorical Festival season! What is that, you ask? Only the speech contest that changed my LIFE. I wasn’t the girl who knew from age 5 what I wanted to be when I grew up. I was a teenager when I found my calling… and a speech contest at church flipped the switch for me. I started speaking and I LIT UP. I found MY VOICE. I learned the POISE AND POWER I was capable of sharing. I am forever grateful @oratorical_festival! (swipe for some vintage Demetra) These three amazing women shared their speeches this month @churchofoursavior and blew us all away! I was a pool of proud tears for so many reasons. It takes a lot of guts to get up there... to talk about faith and hold court before an audience. It’s a victory just to get up. They were champions before they even began speaking. And when they did, they killed it! Bravo to them and every young man and woman sharing the Oratorical microphone across the country! Tell me… when did you know you found your calling?

On this International Women’s Day, I reflect on On this International Women’s Day, I reflect on who I am. I am my mother’s daughter. I carry the torch from a gentle giant, not because of her stature but because of her fortitude. She is patient and powerful. Relentless in her dedication to us. Steadfast. Positive. And I can’t celebrate Women’s History Month without honoring my own history, the matriarchs who are my grandmothers. They were warm and affectionate and the best damn homemakers. And they were fierce. In their combined histories they survived world war, civil war, poverty, a childhood without parents, the loss of children, and metamorphosis after immigrating to the United States. They were bold, outspoken, and decisive. Forward-thinking. Risk-takers. I stand on the shoulders of giants. #internationalwomensday #grateful #loveyou #missyou
