The Intersection
The way we work, grow, and succeed is changing. I’m here to explore what that means for you and your company. This blog is a collection of insights, strategies, and reflections designed to help individuals take ownership of their career and life and help companies create a space where team members thrive.
I pull from books, podcasts, research, and personal experiences to uncover practical ways to stabilize, grow, and thrive in today’s evolving world. If you’re looking to create a stronger, more sustainable foundation for your career or the company you are part of, this is the place.
Let’s build something great—together!
Promoting Ourselves
Some, including myself, will shy away from anything that looks like self-promotion. We want to stand on the merits of the work we produce. We aren’t into humble bragging. When we are leaders, we struggle to highlight our role in the success of the team. We want their...
Financial Wellbeing – Notes to My Younger Self

A MeEO™ Computer
Yesterday, we discussed keeping personal information personal. If we are working for someone else, we need our own computer. A place to run our life. Household papers. Personal projects. Professional resume and case studies. Budgets. Vision boards. An email of our...
Personal Information is Personal – Not Work
When life is busy, we are striving to keep all the balls in the air. A common way to create efficiency is to manage “life” from your work computer. There is ease and comfort in having everything in one place. Yet, we need to push away from this. Work is work. Personal...
LinkedIn Posting for Personal Branding
When it comes to our personal brand, LinkedIn often comes up. We are told we should post, like, and share. Yet, what does this really mean? The answer is hidden in your “why”. We focus on our personal brand for different reasons. To reinforce our strengths. Search for...
What Is a Brand?

Planning Mindsets
I came across a post focused on planning for retirement. While the content related to focusing on your financial future was great, I also believe the concept can apply to all the areas of our wellbeing. The five areas of planning laid out in the article are strategic...
What Does Your Spirit Need?
The dimension of wellbeing that often falls aside for other priorities is spiritual. The connection with our soul. For some this may be tied to a religion. For others this could be a quest for personal purpose. Spiritual wellbeing is primarily internal and reflective....
Food Seasons
My son moved home a year ago when he graduated from college. It’s great to have him around, BUT….. I realized how hard food decisions become when he is back home. When he was away at school, my husband and I would cook what we wanted when we were hungry. With my son...
Approach to Anything
