What I Know for Sure Right Now

Jan 19, 2026

Lately, I’ve been noticing something.

Not in a dramatic, life-altering way — but in a quiet, steady, this-feels-true kind of way.

I’m not at the beginning of something.
I’m not at the end either.

I’m in the middle — and the middle has been teaching me a lot.

So instead of forcing inspiration this week, I want to share what I know for sure right now.

What I Know for Sure

  1. I don’t need to do more — I need to do less, better.
    Busy isn’t the goal. Aligned is. Every system I’m tightening and every decision I’m simplifying is about protecting my energy, not proving my work ethic.

  2. Space is not a luxury. It’s a strategy.
    Physical space. Mental space. Calendar space. When I create room, clarity shows up faster. That’s not accidental — it’s intentional.

  3. Most women already have the skills — they just don’t see them clearly yet.
    This one keeps coming up. The feedback I’ve received lately has confirmed it: so much expertise is hiding behind job titles and corporate language.

  4. Clarity changes confidence immediately.
    The moment you can name what you know, what you do well, and how it creates value — you show up differently. You speak differently. You decide differently.

  5. You don’t have to know the whole plan to take the first step.
    You just need enough clarity to move without second-guessing yourself into exhaustion.

  6. Building in seasons is smarter than building in survival mode.
    I’m honoring this season — one that values quality time, smarter systems, and sustainable growth. I’m done rushing clarity.

  7. Seeing yourself clearly is the real unlock.
    Everything changes when you stop underestimating what you bring to the table.

Why This Matters

So many women are walking around with deep experience, strong instincts, and real leadership ability — yet still questioning if they’re “qualified” to do more, earn more, or create something of their own.

Not because they lack skill.
But because no one ever helped them translate it.

That gap is real. And it’s unnecessary.

If You’re Craving Clarity

If you’ve been feeling:

  • Like you know you have more to offer

  • Like you’re ready for something different but can’t quite name it

  • Like your experience deserves more ownership and flexibility

That’s exactly why I created The Consultant Already In You Starter Kit.

It’s not about rushing.
It’s not about pressure.
It’s about seeing yourself clearly — and letting that clarity guide your next move.

More reflections soon — including what’s unfolding with my office move and how environment shapes execution more than we realize.

Thanks for being here, always 🤍

Am I Ready… Or Am I Just Curious?
I’ve been noticing something lately. Some women come to me with 25+ years of experience, leading teams and driving strategy, asking: “Do you think I’m ready to consult?” And others come quietly, almost whispering: “I don’t even know if what I do counts.” Different levels.Different titles.Same question. Am I ready? And here’s what I’ve learned: Most women aren’t confused about their capability. ...
The Space Between Where You’ve Been and What’s Next
I shared a reel this week about my new office—but what I didn’t say there is why this move mattered more than the logistics.   After ten years in business, you stop making decisions just to prove you’re growing. You start making them because you can feel when something no longer fits.   This office wasn’t on a vision board. It wasn’t part of a five-year plan. It showed up because I was paying a...
Starting Over (Even When You’re Experienced)
For the last 10 years, I ran a DEI consulting practice.And before that? Nearly 20 years in corporate—leading, advising, building, fixing, carrying. That business wasn’t random. It was a direct extension of the work I had already mastered. And yet… here I am.Relaunching.Repositioning.Reintroducing myself. And if I’m being honest, it feels like starting over. Not because I lack experience.Not bec...
