I didn’t know just how hard things could be.⁠

I didn’t know just how hard things could be.⁠
⁠
Until you have a child - you just don't know.⁠
⁠
I found out :)⁠
⁠
And my husband and I have the means to buy what we need and hire help when needed.⁠
⁠
Many people don't.⁠
⁠
And so many people do all of it alone.⁠
⁠
After having our daughter, I saw the reality of how much work there still needs to be done to support families.⁠
⁠
There is no federal program that gives children diapers.⁠
That's wild!⁠
⁠
If a parent doesn't have diapers - they can't bring their child to daycare.⁠
If they can't bring their child to daycare - they can't get a job!⁠

When people can work - we’re all better off.
⁠
On this #NationalDayofGiving, I want to let you know about a nonprofit called @shareourspare.⁠
⁠
It's a female-founded organization whose mission is to ensure that every Chicago area child, ages 0-5, has the essential items (like diapers and wipes) needed to support their health and development.⁠
⁠
This is an organization I'm very passionate about.⁠
They're doing so much good for Chicago area parents -- and us all as a community.⁠

⁠
I donate to them. Consider sharing what you can.⁠
⁠
Comment "DONATE" below and I'll share the information so that we can help more parents together.

It's so important to support small businesses. ⁠

With Thanksgiving just a few days away, many people are traveling.⁠
⁠
Being "off" doesn't always mean taking a 100% break.⁠
⁠
We receive this question a lot: "How do I set up my hotel room for a meeting?"⁠
⁠
On a recent trip to New York, I arranged my hotel room for a Zoom meeting, and I want to show you how I did it. ⁠
⁠
Most hotel rooms have some configuration of a table, chair, and couch. ⁠
⁠
That's all you need. ⁠
⁠
Checklist:⁠
Laptop on top of your luggage.⁠
Camera at eye level.⁠
No bed or window behind you.⁠
Give a little distance between you and the wall behind you (so you don't look like you're being interrogated).⁠
Lamp in front of you.⁠
⁠
***Save this for the next time you need it!***⁠

It's Women's Entrepreneurship Day.⁠
⁠
While I celebrate female entrepreneurs daily, I want to take time today to introduce you to a few women doing a kick-ass job as female CEOs/founders/entrepreneurs/overall amazing human beings. ⁠
⁠
1. @lisalarter is a business strategist, digital marketing expert, author, and speaker. She is the founder and CEO of the Lisa Larter Group, through which she helps clients formulate marketing strategies and increase their visibility. ⁠She and I met through Strategic Coach. She is a mentor of mine and is helping me rebrand and expand. Thank you, Lisa!⁠
⁠
2. Marissa Maldonado is the senior vice president/CEO and managing member of Proda. She is also on the board of CHAMPS Atlanta and is a certified leader and fundraising chair for Atlanta Inner City Outings.⁠ We met a few weeks ago, and I was blown away by her generosity to me, a fellow female founder. She is ahead of me by a few million $... and had no problem sharing a few ways I could manage our team better so we can reach $5M someday (soon).⁠
⁠
3. @kristenprinz is our employment lawyer, business counselor, and founder of The Prinz Law Firm. She assists business owners, entrepreneurs, and professionals in building their potential. She has our back when it comes to our business contracts, and I am forever grateful.⁠
⁠
4. @margopopio is a photographer whose primary focus is to capture her clients' true essence in a way that makes them look and feel like celebrities. ⁠Our clients never want new headshots. We all know it's a painful experience. Margo makes our clients feel so at ease - and she gets the BEST out of them. Everyone is always so happy with the results she gets!⁠
⁠⁠⁠
5. @lindsaypinchuk is a community builder and marketer with two decades of experience. She's also built and sold a company. Now, she consults and coaches others to do the same. Tune into her podcast, @dearfoundher, for advice, and click the link in my bio to listen to my episode with her.⁠ We dropped a lot of great business advice!⁠

#ThrowbackThursday to the Bluebird Leaders SOAR Wo

#ThrowbackThursday to the Bluebird Leaders SOAR Women in Healthcare IT Conference. ⁠
⁠⁠
What an incredible two days in Scottsdale!⁠
⁠
I loved keynoting this conference and meeting all the brilliant women working in the industry.⁠
⁠
Many in the audience were nurse informaticists. ⁠
⁠
Don't know what that is?⁠
⁠
A nurse informaticist is a registered nurse who relies on advanced technology and data to provide patients with quality care. ⁠They combine their love of nursing with their IT skills.⁠
⁠
They are shaping our future.⁠
⁠
A special shoutout to Rebecca Woods for having me speak at her conference.⁠ Rebecca runs Bluebird Leaders, a group for female leaders in healthcare IT.⁠ Rebecca is a futurist and a rock star.

It’s exhausting answering questions from the sec

It’s exhausting answering questions from the second you wake up until the moment your head hits the pillow.

Did you know you have the power to control every conversation?⁠
⁠
You can reframe the question, answer it, AND add more relevant information.⁠
This can be done in your professional and personal life. ⁠

You can control the conversation. ⁠
You have the power.
