Your identity is your most valuable asset.​

​

Because circumstances change.

You’ve done everything right.

Built the career. Cared for everyone else. Kept it all together.

The doorway to your greatest success is belief.

But if deep down you believe success is for other people, you believe you’re always behind, you believe you’re not enough—those beliefs will quietly run the show.

Ease isn’t laziness—it’s alignment.

I started my career in P&G’s corporate fitness centers, where each employee’s initial visit began with an assessment:

I used to think hustle = success.

The harder I worked, the closer I’d get.

I’ve been waking up at 4 AM for 70 days… because I wasn’t sure how I was going to do this…

Reflections on Chapter 8: Vantage Point

What does it take to climb Mount Rainier?

What if the turning point isn’t the moment you win—but the moment everything falls apart?

We don’t talk about that part enough.

When I was six months old, my family left the U.S. to follow my father’s work abroad. My brother hadn’t even been born yet.

Although the B. does represent my middle/last initials, what most people don’t know is that it comes from a prayer that I love, and that I used in 2015 to help me get through one of the toughest times of my life.

Once upon a time, there was a castle—and a man who told me exactly what I wanted to hear.

“Sometimes the bravest thing we can do is say yes to what we would love—and trust that the next step will be revealed.”

Happy Father's Day

My dad grew up in Elmwood—the youngest of four—determined to become something more than what his own father had shown him was possible.

I’d never read The Art of War.

But after receiving a stripped-down email, I didn’t need to.

Let’s just say… the ring fit.

But nothing else did.

This is undeniably everything I ever hoped for.

My favorite city in the world, April in Paris, the certainty of being engaged at the perfect moment, and blue skies telling me my day had come.

I thought I was finally going to have it all.

A successful husband who said he loved me. A family.

What was it about this image that’s both seductive and captivating, all at the same time?

At 21 years old, I couldn’t explain what drew me in.

…because not all help helps.

When codependency hides behind ambition and love gets tangled with addiction, you need someone who can actually name what’s happening.
