Speaking
I’m an energetic, passionate, and empowering national speaker with relatable warmth, a unique perspective, and a sense of humor.

Time Keeps On Slipping Away

How Long Should A Podcast Be?
One of the most frequent questions I get asked as a podcast coach & teacher is, “How long should a podcast be, ideally?” Here’s what I tell them.

“In life, finding a voice is speaking and living the truth.” — John Grisham. I get a lot of questions from both podcasters and writers about how to discover their own unique voice. Most don’t know where to begin…
Slytherin!
Terrible news, everyone — I’m evil! Actually, I got sorted into the Slytherin house by the official Harry Potter website, and I’m afraid it comes with some CONNOTATIONS.
Yesterday’s Accomplishments
“Yesterday’s home runs don’t win today’s games.” — Babe Ruth. It can be SO FRUSTRATING to learn an important lesson or find a particular slice of success… and then to wake up the next day with a clean slate and realize you have to do it ALL OVER AGAIN.
We Need Mystery
We spend a lot of our time focused on solutions and solving problems. And that makes sense.

I’m Terrible At Following My Own Advice
I don’t always follow my own advice. Heck, I don’t USUALLY follow my own advice. Here’s why I think that might be — and maybe it’s true for you, too.
When In Doubt
Welcome to my #1 piece of podcasting advice. When in doubt… DO IT ANYWAY. Here’s why.
What Haunts You?
I have a compulsion to create, be it via podcasting, writing, bread-baking, etc. Maybe you’re the same way. But if I’m ever in a place where I am not able (or willing) to create…

How do we remain inclusive with our creative projects & products while acknowledging that: a.) we are often creating for a very specific niche, and b.) not everyone will enjoy the work we create?
Creators Are Leaders
As a creator, whether you feel like it or not, you have the opportunity to be a leader. In fact, by publishing your work, you already are. Here’s why.
