Hi Reader One of the things Iāve been building this last year in the in-between moments is my MemberVault Course Platform. It has been a slow process for me as the āin-betweenā moments have been increasingly rare. Two moves in the last year, the first half way across the country and the other across town have used up the majority of my spare time packing and unpacking and starting and stopping our homeschool. Regardless of the timeline, I am really excited about the progress Iāve made so far....

Hi Reader I had the chance to watch the Canva Create Keynote yesterday. It's always one of the most exciting platform update reveals of the year.

But the thing I loved was how they balanced all the tech with the good they are doing in the world and highlighting their progress in becoming carbon zero. Itās the first...

There are some great deals to be had, especially if it's the right time in your business journey to implement them. In the past Iāve been guilty of jumping on a deal in the moment but then it proved to only muddle up my business by sidetracking my attention. I know Iām not the only one (wink-wink). Growing a business is full of...

Hi Reader As my kids' schedules and routines start to take shape, I now have the opportunity to sort out where my daily habits and routines fit within the broader family schedule. One thing Iāve experimented with over the years is what time of day is the best to fit in my daily exercise. Iāve learned that I need to prioritize it in the morning or it may just not happen, no matter how strong my intention is. Bonus: if I get it done early in the day, I have one or more quick wins and I donāt...

Hi Reader Ahhhh! In my attempt to begin sending emails again, I forgot one important lessonāone Iāve learned several times alreadyāit even crossed my mind twice while typing today.

In a Google Doc. I really prefer not to have to start over, but Iāve gotten so much practice at it over the years with so many...

Hi Reader If you've ever moved more than once before, you know some can be more challenging than others. This last move has been an especially challenging one for me. We've had numerous unplanned physical and emotional setbacks to getting unpacked and settled. It's taken me much longer than I hoped to start crafting my new routines. This week finally feels lighter, so I started with getting my body moving: yoga, walking, light weight lifting, and mobility work. I love that I'm feeling less...
