• 2025 was the most challenging year of my career. Because it forced me to question a deeply held belief as a kid who grew up following the rules - that you need to master step 1 and 2 before you move to step 3. But as brilliant women, that might not be true. Maybe you need to start at step 7, or even go backwards to step -20.

• Is Dolly Parton still working the 9-5? No. At 79-years-old she works 3-7am apparently. I’ll show you how to find your brain’s perfect schedule. And no you don’t have to get up Dolly early
• What do I really think of Pomodoro timers. The timer your brain actually runs on. And a tiny habit to feel FOCUSED on demand.
