I am really thankful for my friend Heather Crank, who is a brilliant designer and over at Crahmanti with her superstar artist hubs Greg Amanti. Heather has been intentionally building a of , and I am lucky to be part of this.

I am gushing because I had a reminder in my memories today about Heather's podcast series Mixedmetafour. It's so good, and we had a good talk too.

A few months ago I responded to a prompt on Linkedin to tag women I would mention in a room full of possibilities. To my surprise, I had an overwhelming response. Anneli Hansson suggested we take all of the energy and enthusiasm and create a panel discussion on Clubhouse.

This is the 4th episode in this series. It has been such an amazing experience to explore topics that I felt were missing from public discourse or that I wasn't represented in. In this episode I speak with Darlene Veenhuizen Van Cooley 🌞 and Anneli Hansson about what it takes to make your own path.

I had the amazing experience of hosting a series of live podcasts on Clubhouse about women in business and the unique challenges we face. With the permission of the incredible panelists, I will begin to release the 4 recorded convos over the next couple of months as a special addition to the Mixed Metafour collection.

Hello Everyone!
Tomorrow I am uploading the polished version but I am so thrilled to share this...below is the rough cut of my interview with designer and creative leader Troy Allen Coleman. The final version will be on spotify tomorrow evening.

This is a special episode of a zoom call that was accidentally recorded between two lifelong friends. It’s an intimate look into holding space, crisis and how we emerge changed.

"We stand at the precipice of a life or death crisis, with Graphic Designer Troy Coleman as he faces his greatest fears. and succumbs to the experience of death. Only though this unraveling can the hero be reborn into his future self. A new state of consciousness is needed to give him the power and insight to see his journey all the way through to the very end."

Not everyone has earth shattering success. I am one of those people...my growth has been steady and quiet...I've spent my life learning, mostly invisible to the outside world.
I've made EVERY mistake in the book...tumbled though the business world before mentors and life coaches were a thing...it's taken me a lot longer, the obstacles ferocious but not as ferocious as the passionate drive in my mind and heart, the compass I return to again and again. My drive has tempered into a deep love of freedom and authenticity. I've reordered my priorities and watched my adversaries grow and change their paths and minds...life is complicated and simple. As we grow perspective changes, the anger wears out...and we are all faced with what our choices leave behind...we live with our choices.
I've chased money, I've chased security, I've had my deepest desires disintegrate while I stood at the precipice of what I wanted, i've been intentionally blocked, threatened, bullied and shamed, been the focus of malicious gossip...but here I am still standing..larger in spirit, completely fearless... in the end...at the end of all of this energy and effort...all that is left is a mirror of how we made the people we encounter feel, how we contributed, what out efforts leave in an echoing trail that will slowly fade into oblivion.

I am so grateful to all of the unsung hero's, all of you working behind the scenes to give someone a chance to change their life, to lift someone up who couldn't have done it on their own because the burden they carried was too heavy, I am so grateful to pain, I am so grateful to all of my enemies for showing me who I really am and what kind of strength I really possess...I am so grateful to all of the mishaps and wrong turns and all of the unexpected outcomes that that have brought me so much wisdom. Wherever you are in your journey, whatever part of "you" that you are facing, discovering embracing rejecting...the opportunity is always there..to grow...

Be your own hero.
