I'm an ambitious go-getter with big dreams and a need to achieve... and I had to learn the hard way what success really is (and what it is not). In my early 20's, I found myself newly married, with a blossoming business, big career opportunities, and a world full of possibilities... all of which I decided to go for.

Our 20's and 30's are building and establishing years. We're building relationships, families, households, and careers... many at the same time. Before we know it, we end up hustling and overworking ourselves just trying to do it all. At least, that's what happened to me. 

Multiple messy, painful experiences finally forced me to slow down, revisit why I started in the first place, and simultaneously taught me what it takes to show up well when you have no motivation to do anything at all.

It shifted my perspective on what matters most, set me on a journey to a healthier, more intentional way of work, and reminded me that success is not about achieving a goal or climbing a mountain in a day but instead, about stewardship and small steps that add up day after day.

So around here, I write articles to share tips, tools, and resources in an advice column style to help you do the same: steward the career, family, and home you're building well so that you can achieve your goals while stewarding what matters most.
