Some things sit on the list for years. Not because you forget about them, but because life keeps filling in the calendar before you get there. 🌷

We finally made it to the Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival during bloom season. And it was every bit as beautiful as I’d imagined!

One more reason I love my home state 👏

To the working mom who has ever stress-Googled Easter ideas at 11pm…this one’s for you. 🐣

In today’s post, I’m reflecting on years of Easter holiday hits and misses along with the one working parent lesson that took me waaaay too long to learn.

However you’re celebrating today (big or small, fancy or pajama-clad), I hope you find your version of the holiday magic.

Incredibly energizing to cheer on all of the young emerging filmmakers representing 30 states & 41 countries.

In today’s post, I share a behind-the-scenes look at what it was like stepping into the role of Executive Producer for Mia’s short film titled Cinnamon that premiered on Saturday…a story that hits close to home.

For a long time, I thought “career growth” meant going all in on one path.

One role. One title. One definition of success.

But lately, I’ve been rethinking that.

The idea of a portfolio career has been getting a lot of attention and for good reason. It’s not about piling on more work. It’s about leveraging your skills and interests in a way that makes you more resilient and a lot more energized. Who doesn’t want that?

Earlier this year, I shared a simple 3-step framework I’ve been using to build a portfolio career in a way that supports my core role, not competes with it.

If you’ve been feeling the nudge to explore something more (without blowing up what’s already working), this might be a helpful place to start.

That’s a wrap on Chapter 3 of 12! (And honestly, if the rest of the year keeps this pace, I might need to schedule a dedicated nap for December 31st right now).

As I mapped out the next 90 days on my BAC (aka Big A## Calendar), I took a minute to reflect on the first quarter.

At the start of the year, I made a simple shift: less rushing, more intention. I started putting what matters on the calendar instead of leaving it to chance.

Here are a few “pinch-me” moments from a very intentional Q1:

1. Wisdom from the Top: A mentor session with Microsoft’s Chief Diversity Officer, Lindsay-Rae McIntyre. Her philosophy on navigating change? “Excellence is always a winning strategy.” (Writing that one on a post-it and sticking it everywhere).
2. The Ultimate Reset: Our first couples retreat in Tulum with the incredible Renee Warren and Dan Martell. A dreamy destination with growth-minded couples that we’ll never forget.
3. The Reality Check: Hearing Gary Vaynerchuk at our Microsoft Frontier Marketing Summit. Gary did not disappoint—his energy and perspective on modern marketing were exactly the jolt I needed. ⚡️
4. The Dream Team: Quality time with work friends at Demandbase. There is nothing better than working with brilliant partners who also happen to be genuinely great people.
5. Supporting Women in Tech: It was an honor to be invited as a guest speaker for Qorvo’s Women in Tech Employee Resource Group.
6. Family Celebration: A quick trip to sunny San Francisco to celebrate my amazing sister-in-law Julie’s milestone birthday with family and friends.

Now, excuse me while I go sharpen my markers for Q2. If you need me, I’ll be standing in front of my giant calendar trying to figure out how to top a trip to Tulum! 🌴☀️
