For years, I shared stories.
Now I’m asking different questions.
? Why did one effort succeed while another failed
? Why do similar efforts produce different outcomes
? What role do assumptions, context, and timing play in the lives we create
Sticky Thoughts
“New stories, new patterns, straight to your inbox”
Every struggle leaves a clue. For years, I shared the stories – moments of breakdown and breakthrough from women navigating real life.

What I’m discovering might surprise you – and it might also be exactly what you’re looking for.
I May Look Beautiful . . .
Red blood cells that self-destruct every four days. Medical mistreatment. An abusive relationship. Nothing stopped Jill. She made sure of that herself.

Laugh . . .
She tumbled down the airport stairs, snapped both heels clean off, and limped into her first TV interview laughing at the absurdity – Penny landed the job that launched her award-winning career.
