The holidays are one of my favorite times of year. There’s energy in the air, packed calendars, family gatherings, travel plans, and just enough chaos to keep things interesting. But as much as I love the season, I also know this is a time when small oversights can turn into big, expensive problems. Consider this a friendly reminder from someone who’s seen it all, from fender benders to frozen pipes to kitchen mishaps that got a little too festive. A little prevention goes a

The holidays arrive with a unique mix of emotion, momentum, reflection, and connection. One minute the year feels wide open and the next, we’re at the finish line with lights, lists, and expectations all swirling together. For me, the holidays aren’t just a season on the calendar. They’re a reminder and a moment to step back and look at what truly mattered over the past year both personally and professionally. Family First, Always At the center of everything for me is family

We love to talk about hustle, strategy and building the right team and running a strong business.   And yes, all of that matters, but this is what I’ve learned along the way:   You cannot be successful without a tribe behind you.   ·      Not just employees. ·      Not just advisors. ·      Not just colleagues.   I’m talking about the people who show up when life throws a curve ball so big it knocks the wind out of you.   I know this because I lived it.   My Curve Ball: A Fir

The holidays are here, beautiful, joyful, heart-filling and, a little chaotic .   We’re juggling family gatherings, school events, travel plans, work deadlines, gift lists, and kitchen marathons that would put a cooking show to shame. I’m part of a busy blended family, and I know firsthand how quickly your health, both physical and mental, can get pushed to the absolute bottom of the list.   It’s not intentional, it’s just life.   But if there was ever a time to slow down and

I get it. We all want (and deserve!) some downtime come end November through December. This is not  me telling you to skip the eggnog, ignore the tree, or stay glued to your laptop while everyone else is watching holiday movies. But I am  saying If it’s all play and zero  business touchpoints, January can start out a little sluggish. And I don’t know about you, but I like to kick off a new year with a few quick wins under my belt. Momentum matters. Here’s what I’m doing, star

The holiday season has a special way of bringing sparkle into our lives, sometimes literally. Between engagements, anniversaries, milestones, and moments of pure generosity, this is the time of year when many people receive jewelry that carries both financial value and tremendous personal meaning. A diamond necklace from your partner. Your grandmother’s ring gifted to you as a symbol of continuity. A watch you bought yourself after reaching a long-awaited accomplishment. Thes

As the holidays approach, it’s easy to get swept up in the sparkle, the decorations, the parties, the gift-giving, and the social media posts filled with smiling families and matching pajamas. I love the holidays, but I also know that for many people, this time of year isn’t all joy and light. It can bring up sadness, loneliness, or even grief. That’s why I believe it’s so important to approach this season with sensitivity and compassion, especially online.   As a single mom

People sometimes ask me why I volunteer as much as I do, why I keep adding one more event, one more collection drive, one more way to give back. The short answer? Because it matters. The longer answer? Because it shapes who I am, how I raise my kids, and how I view my community and my work. Volunteering isn’t just something I do when I have time, it’s part of how I define success. To me, success isn’t only measured by professional milestones, sales goals, or business growth t

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard this one and it’s usually followed by something like, “I don’t own much,” or “My landlord’s policy covers me, right?” If you’ve ever thought or said those words, you’re not alone, but the truth is your landlord’s insurance only covers the building, not your stuff  and definitely not your liability if something happens inside your apartment. Renters insurance is one of those things that sounds complicated but isn’t. And it’s one of th

I’ve been traveling a lot lately, mostly for business, and with each trip, I’ve fine-tuned what I like to call my “travel sanity system.” Between running my insurance agency, leading my Digital Bootcamp, and being a single mom in a blended family, I’ve got a lot of balls in the air. Add airports, suitcases, and Wi-Fi that decides to die on me when I most need it, and let’s just say it takes more than luck to keep it all running smoothly. Here are my top travel hacks, the thin
