As we pack away 2025 (and maybe just now recycle that rogue holiday card), I’m taking a big breath and a moment of gratitude. This year, we zigzagged across the country, logged thousands of miles, and got to be in rooms with some of the most committed, compassionate, and change-making humans out there.  And in […]

As we wrap up 2025, I’ve been reflecting on what I want you to carry into the new year—and what I want you to leave behind.

The Connection Was Real. The Impact? Even More So.  What. A. Week. The 2025 Cards for Connection Conference wasn’t just a gathering—it was a soul-filling, heart-stretching, brain-igniting experience. And not just because of the rich content, powerful discussion, or trauma-informed tools (though, yes, those were fire!) It was because of how we cared for each other. And did […]

I’m wrapping up a tour of Southern Oregon and headed back to Marion & Polk Counties this week. All of that after 3 glorious days of our very own conference in Central Oregon. In the past few weeks, I’ve driven over 15 hours, trained almost 500 people, flown 4 hours, and spoken for over 32 […]

When I became an empty nester this year, I didn’t expect how deeply I’d feel the emptiness of the house — or how often I’d think I’d left something behind. As I mentioned in my newsletter last week that so many of you were moved by, leaving Corvallis after dropping off my daughter, I felt […]
