5 Things / Strategic Play
I'm competing in an LGBTQ pickleball tournament today and slowly finding a queer pickleball community here in Chicago. I played five times this week; I had plenty of time with no keynotes on the schedule. Entrepreneurship brings uncertainty but it also brings the privilege of freedom – if we accept it.

5 Things / A Shortcut
I gave a speech this week where I talked about my divorce and how the distraction led to mistakes at work. Because I didn’t tell anyone, I never gave them a chance to be understanding or empathetic.

5 Things / Stories and Data
This is not the first time my business has been negatively impacted by the political climate. I learned some things the first time, so I’m hosting a free workshop to share these lessons and empower you to speak confidently about DEI. Please register and forward this opportunity to anyone you think may be interested. The replay will be available to registrants if you can’t attend live.

5 Things / Absurdity
The heartbreaking fires in the Los Angeles area compound what feels like a quickly intense year. I’m grateful to have something fun to look forward to each week: a standup comedy class for women.
