020323: is losing your voice always a metaphor for … losing your voice? Did writing about being even a tiny bit intimidated bring this on? Did I silence MYSELF? Or is it just recirculated airplane air, a virus going around, a diminished immune system from disrupted routines? Coming back from the leadership offsite, I was…

Feel Good Saturday Morning 012823
Day to day, it’s relatively easy to be an executive, at least a new one in the environment I am in. I am decisive and opinionated; my ideas about how we should be doing things are fresh and generally well-received, especially when I communicate them well (read: POWERPOINTS FOR DAYS). And still! I’m younger, more…
oh well it’s sunday again | Feel Good Friday 012023/12223
Bob, Zimbobwae, Byobi … the weird lil corgi army crawler guy continues to be simultaneously a complete and utter dickhead (to strangers, people walking by, and everyone who has to hear him on my conference calls) and a source of endless joy, love, and humor (especially at night, when it’s dark, and he can’t see…
Fancy as … | Feel Good Friday 010623/011323
Remember when this blog was Life in Austin & Aspen? I’m in Aspen again today! This place is so full of magic and wonder, and yet, so different than it was before. The skiing though? As epic as ever. 2023 is off to a fabulous start. The fancy as f@$k! new year’s eve party was…
Bulldog Karen Bob | Feel Good Friday 121622
This week I have been called both a bulldog and a karen, with basically the same meaning but obviously very different connotations. I just call it tenacity, and it’s a part of my personality that I very much like—it has set me up for success in an overall corporate world that still values masculine-style aggression,…

!Y feliz cumpleanos a mi amiga de la aventura! My last Mexico trip of 2022 brought me to the beautiful if touristy Cabo San Lucas, Mexico … where I got to swim with schools of fish and snorkel with a sea lion! I ate on of the best meals of my life at Manta, which…
Thanksgiving Gratitude List | Feel Good Thursday 112422
My family is so effing awesome. There are 21 of us, plus my Handsome Humanitarian Warrior’s 3, in Austin for this holiday and I couldn’t be happier. I am so grateful for my cousins. They are all incredible humans. It turns out I haven’t seen some of them in over three years and while we’ve…
NEW NEW but old :) | Feel Good Friday 102822
BUT FIRST, all the details about my art show in a couple of weeks! Mark your calendars now for Nov 12 & 13 to check out rad art and sip radder wine. And hang out with me. Which I am grateful for, obviously. The recognition for the third year in a row – as long…
why the duck | feel good Finally 101822
I left my beloved job at HGS, where I had the incredible fortune of working for the absolute best boss I’ve ever had and working with the most incredible team I’ve ever built. We made big impact: big strides forward in brand consistency and social media, launched an awesome podcast, packaged our first product, built…
duck feet | Feel Good Friday 092322
I’m not sure I’ve ever needed a Friday so much. Last weekend in Las Vegas feels like a lifetime ago and it’s been a mere four days since I left the state of Nevada. The week has been super, super intense. There’s so much to do, so much still up in there. There’s so much…
