5 Things / rest is revolutionary

Rest. That's what I needed most this week, and it seemed to be a common theme in my network. Indeed "August is like the Sunday of summer." Long ago I was an aspiring documentarian, so my rest included watching the documentary on Olympians' mental health, the one on WeWork, and all of the 100 Foot Wave. They're all great, although The Weight of Gold was devastating.

5 Things / if not now

This week was my first week giving an in-person keynote in 18 months and it felt amazing to be back on stage. My 10 year old son Patrick came to watch me speak for the first time. He put down his Nintendo Switch and gave me his full attention. He even handed me some post-it notes with thoughtful questions on them after I finished. It was a proud mom moment, and for him, a proud son moment, and definitely my favorite part of the week.

My new book, Inclusive 360, is now available for pre-orders and will be released on September 21! I'm very excited.

5 Things / patience with process

This week I found myself continually frustrated by things I couldn't control. To be honest, I'm not very patient with "process" - but of course the reality of bringing something new into the world (in this case, my book Inclusive 360), requires an awful lot of process.
