In this week’s episode I talk about how creating a safe space for our children is critical for them to be able to decompress and be themselves.

I was 'this close' to joining a frat that I was not really a fan of, and in doing so, would have compromised things I held to be true, all because I wanted to...
Today, I discuss how I was forced into a job I wasn't ready for. Knowing I wasn't ready for the role and didn't have the right skill set didn't stop my boss from pushing me into the role. Also, how the finding of a job is all about fit. The skill set you have needs to match the one job requires. Too often companies equate success in one job with success in another, which doesn't always line up. The advice… it's all about money....or leadership...or fit...what to focus on when lookin...
