Resilience and the Crucible of Leadership

Embracing chaos can be good and bad. Good in the fact that it makes you metaphorically bullet-proof to all the noise that doesn’t matter. Bad to the degree that once you cross over into your peaceful era, it’s hard to accept that even though resilience helped you through many situations- it’s time to just ‘be.’ It is time to just ‘vibe.’

Leadership & Orgs | A Summary

“I often ponder the logic behind something and why it is the way it is. I have been a witness of situations where a person has performed an act that leaves me no other choice but to sit and question. I don’t believe that I have solved all of the world’s problems by trying to think in an abstract way. Trying to be different is not an anticipated goal of mine. It is to simply be in sync to the situation I am in. To question, to think, to listen are all attributes that I find to be valuable when leading oneself, leading others, and leading organizations.”

Trauma Bonds

I was recently on Instagram when I came across a post discussing trauma bonds and what they do to you. It outlined the effects of them, and what happens during one- and after you leave one. I tear up as I write this because I personally don’t open up much about myself and the traumaContinue reading “Trauma Bonds”

Comparison is a Thief of Joy

Recently, this expression was shared with me. “Comparison is a thief of joy.” So- I pondered this expression in one of the places that I solve world problems- the shower. No belting out Celine or whatever else song popped into my head. The fabulous acoustics would have to lay idle while my mind shifted gear like a manual would when increasing in speed.  

Reflections from an Author Event

There I was, standing behind the table at the Spring Book Bash. With two books vastly different from each other. A dystopian thriller, and a coming-of-age fiction. Life in Katie’s Shoes was published in 2020. As a kid, I battled with addiction and divorce within my family unit from 2nd grade til the death ofContinue reading “Reflections from an Author Event”

Overcoming Family Addiction

As I sit here and contemplate the next blog to write, I think to myself, “Where do I even begin?” I start a lot of blogs like this. What do I write? What seems compelling. What is something I could ramble on about that has the faintest impact? What has been on my mind. What has brought me to tears recently?
