I'm honored to announce that I'll be delivering the keynote at the 2026 BBB Industrious Women's Summit in San Diego!

My keynote, Powering a New Era: From Success to Sovereignty, explores a question I've been asking for years:

What if the very strategies that made us successful are the same ones preventing us from thriving?

For decades, many of us were rewarded for working harder, carrying more, and proving our value through productivity. But the world is changing.

As AI and technology transform the way we work, our greatest advantage won't be our ability to do more—it will be our ability to lead with wisdom, emotional intelligence, discernment, and humanity.

Together we'll explore practical strategies for:
• Working smarter through leverage
• Prioritizing what matters most
• Leading confidently through change
• Creating success that doesn't come at the expense of your well-being

If you're in Southern California—or looking for a reason to visit—I hope you'll join us.

🎟️ Registration is open, and space is limited:

I can't wait to share this conversation with you.

The most successful women I know aren't struggling because they need more success.

They're struggling because they have so little freedom.

For years, we were taught to measure wealth by promotions, income, influence, and achievement. But what if the truest measure of wealth isn't what you've accumulated... it's how fully you're able to live?

This week's Living Room Wisdom reflection explores why so many high-achieving women have built extraordinary lives that still leave them exhausted, overextended, and wondering, "Why doesn't this feel like enough?"

If you've ever felt that tension, this one is for you.

I'd love to hear your thoughts after you read it.

Who are you becoming now?

That question has been sitting with me as we move through the energy and symbolism of 8/8.

We spend so much time asking ourselves what we want next.

The next level.
The next opportunity.
The next relationship.
The next version of success.

But maybe there’s another question underneath all of that:

Who is the woman making those decisions?

Is it The Strong One who learned she could never put anything down?

The Good Girl who learned that belonging meant keeping everyone happy?

The Achiever who learned that her value was measured by how much she accomplished?

The Fixer who feels safest when everyone else is okay?

I have so much love for those versions of us.

They got us here.

But survival identities can quietly become leadership identities if we never stop to question them.

And eventually, the very identity that once protected us can become the one keeping us from the life we’re ready to live.

Maybe this season isn’t asking you to become more.

Maybe Spirit is inviting you to release what you no longer need to carry.

To soften without becoming weak.

To receive without guilt.

To lead without over-functioning.

To experience success that actually feels successful.

That’s abundance to me.

Not more for the sake of more.

More you.

More truth.
More peace.
More joy.
More freedom.
More room to breathe.

It’s never too late to choose again.

So tell me:

I’m becoming the kind of woman who ____________.

I’d love to witness your answer.

Have you ever noticed that the more capable you become...

the more everyone seems to need you?

At work.
At home.
In your family.
In your business.

One day you look around and realize you've become the person everyone depends on.

That sounds like leadership.

Sometimes it's over-functioning.

In this week's Living Room Wisdom article, I share a moment from my own life that changed everything.

Nine years ago, my partner asked me one simple question:

"You have four children in this house, three of them are boys. Why are you doing everything?"

I didn't have an answer.

No one had assigned me that role.

Somewhere along the way, it had simply become my default.

Maybe you've experienced something similar.

If you've ever felt exhausted, not because you're doing something wrong, but because you've quietly become the system that keeps everything running—I wrote this for you.

I'm excited to finally share this...

I'll be taking the stage as a keynote speaker at the 2026 BBB Industrious Women's Summit!

What an honor to join so many incredible women who are building businesses, leading organizations, and shaping what's next.

This year's theme, Powering the Next Era, feels especially meaningful. We're living in a season where leadership is changing, business is evolving, and many women are redefining what success looks like. I can't wait to share what I've learned about leading with clarity, creating abundance without burnout, and building a life that reflects your values—not just your achievements.

If you're in the San Diego area, I'd love to see you there. Come introduce yourself, stay for the conversations, and let's build meaningful connections.

When was the last time you asked yourself...

Who am I when there's no one to impress?

For many high-achieving women, performance becomes so familiar that we mistake it for purpose.

We become the achiever.
The fixer.
The responsible one.
The woman who always has it together.

Those identities may have helped us build extraordinary lives.

But what happens when they begin making our biggest decisions?

In this week's Living Room Wisdom article, I explore the subtle difference between living from performance and leading from purpose—and why so many accomplished women feel disconnected, even after checking every box.

This conversation isn't about abandoning ambition.

It's about allowing your success to become an expression of who you truly are, rather than who you've learned to be.

I'd love to hear what resonates with you.

Pain has a way of convincing us that our story is over.

What if it's actually preparing us for our purpose?

That was one of the most powerful threads running through my conversation with Shannan Kym in Episode 117 of *Living Room Wisdom*.

Shannan's journey is one of addiction, recovery, radical self-discovery, and choosing to rewrite the story she once believed about herself.

What I love most about this conversation is that it isn't about pretending the pain never happened.

It's about recognizing that our greatest wounds can become our greatest wisdom, when we're willing to heal, tell the truth, and allow our experiences to serve someone else.

If you've ever questioned your past…
If you've ever wondered whether your hardest seasons still matter…
If you've ever felt like you're rebuilding from the ground up…

This conversation is for you.

Because your story doesn't end with what happened to you.

It begins with what you choose to do with it.

I'd love to know:
What's one challenge in your life that, looking back, prepared you for who you've become today?

The hustle built my life.

And for that, I'll always be grateful.

It helped me create opportunities I never imagined. It gave me choices. It helped me provide for my family. It taught me resilience.

But somewhere along the way, I realized something...

The life hustle helped me build wasn't the same life I wanted to keep living.

Maybe you've felt that too.

Not because you're lazy.
Not because you've lost your ambition.
But because you've outgrown a version of success that required you to constantly prove your worth.

I don't believe the answer is abandoning our dreams.

I believe it's redefining what success feels like.

In my newest Living Room Wisdom article, I explore the hidden cost many high-achieving women quietly carry—and why abundance isn't just measured by what we've accumulated, but by how we experience our lives.

I'd love to know what resonates with you.

The Next Level of Success Requires a New Way of Thinking

Success got you here.

But it may not be what takes you where you're meant to go next.

That was one of the biggest takeaways from my conversation with Sandra Yancey, founder of eWomenNetwork and a woman who has spent decades helping entrepreneurs grow thriving businesses and meaningful lives.

In this episode of Living Room Wisdom, Sandra Yancey shares why the next level of success isn't about working harder.

It's about thinking differently.

We explore:

- Why curiosity is becoming one of the most valuable leadership skills.

- How to stop spending time on work that doesn't require your unique genius.

- Why certainty limits your growth, and curiosity expands it.

- What Taylor Swift's business model can teach entrepreneurs about focus, leverage, and building a brand with intention.

- How today's leaders can create greater impact by embracing a new way of thinking.

Fall in love with curiosity instead of certainty.

Because when we become convinced we already know the answer, we often miss the very opportunities that could transform our lives.

If you're a leader, entrepreneur, or woman navigating your next chapter, this conversation will challenge you in the best possible way.

Episode 116: The Next Level of Success Requires a New Way of Thinking with Sandra Yancey is now LIVE.

Watch on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcast, or your favorite podcast platform and let me know what insight stayed with you the most.

Not a strategy book. A return.

The Sovereign CEO™ Dinners — where the conversation begins.

The Sovereign CEO™ Collective — where the relationships deepen.

The Sovereignty Deck — for the days you need to come back to yourself in under five minutes.

Pure Abundance Retreat® in Thailand — where it all gets embodied.

Different entry points. Same homecoming.
You don’t have to do all of it.
