A colleague shared a challenge she’s facing: if she prioritizes work, she misses the best hours of the day with her daughter. If she prioritizes time with her daughter and homeschooling, her work-time disappears and she finds herself at the computer late at...

After a season of not-enough business compared to the past, I’ve found myself catapulted into a season of more: more opportunities, more projects, more growth. While earlier this year, we scaled back our team, we’re adding team members again. More...

I’ve done a recap of business wins this year, and my team shared a list of personal wins. This holiday season I spent some time thinking about my favorite experiences and accomplishments this year. I thought about the people who’ve made my life better this...
