Apparently I needed to take my own advice 😂

I've been thinking a lot lately about the difference between being busy and being intentional.

Because they're not the same thing.

You can be incredibly productive and still be moving in a direction you don't actually want to go.

You can be checking all the boxes and still feel like something isn't quite right.

You can be really good at what you do and still wonder, Do I even want to keep doing this?

I've been reminded of this myself over the last couple of months.

Earlier this summer I joined the BBB Breakthrough Accelerator  to step outside of my usual day-to-day, learn from other business owners, and get more intentional about where I’m taking my business.

What I didn’t expect was how much it would make me stop and question some things.

So the question I've been sitting with lately...Where have I been on autopilot?

Maybe that's a question worth asking yourself, too.

Where are you saying yes because you've always said yes? Staying because you're good at something? Moving through the week without stopping to ask what you actually want?

Sometimes stepping back doesn't mean blowing everything up. It simply means giving yourself enough space to ask better questions.

And you don't have to answer those questions alone.

Sometimes you just need a good conversation, a little perspective, and a reminder that you're not the only one figuring it out.

Which brings me to something new I'm creating:

☕ The Self-Advocacy & Leadership Hour

A free, monthly virtual gathering where you can grab your favorite beverage, learn something useful, connect with other people navigating similar things, and - if you want - get a little coaching along the way. 

We'll talk about practical topics like:

• Advocating for yourself

• Setting boundaries

• Increasing your visibility

• Navigating difficult workplace dynamics

• Building confidence as a leader

 And you'll get to experience what coaching with me actually feels like: real conversation, thoughtful questions, practical coaching, and space to work through what's actually happening in your career. 

Here are the deets:

☕ When: 4th Thursday of every month

⏰ Time: 12:00–1:00pm PT

📍 Where: Zoom

💰 Cost: Free!

🎉 First gathering: Thursday, August 27th

👉 Grab your spot on Luma

Bring your favorite beverage. Bring your questions. Bring the workplace situation you've been replaying in your head for the last three weeks. 

And feel free to bring a friend or colleague who could use the space, too.

➡️ One quick note: While I bring 13+ years of HR experience to our conversations, this isn't an HR policy hotline or legal advice session. It's a space for personal growth, self-advocacy, leadership, and figuring out what you want next.

I'm really excited about this! 

Because if there’s one thing I’ve been reminded of lately, it’s this:

We don't have to figure everything out alone.

I really hope you'll join me. ❤️
