This isn’t a new idea, in fact it’s an old one. It’s only the platforms on which we’re meant to sparkle that are different. Le sigh.

I was (& am still) floored by how hard it is to unearth original content made for, by, and about professional topics that originates from the minds & souls of women.
Forget Hacking Algorithms! Do This ONE Thing & Your Content Will Stand-Out Every Time You Post
I'm Old(ish). Lately I can't seem to muster the oomph I need to get to the gym 3 x weekly like I used to. Long runs have turned into ambling walks where I look at flowers & other assorted flora. And, though it's difficult to admit, the pre-internet-era was a time that existed in my lifetime. …

It's 11am on a Tuesday in Auckland, New Zealand & I've just flown in from Los Angeles. Before you ask, no, I didn't do the literal flying. The pilots did, obvs (*insert Dad Joke about tired wings from all that flying here*) Right now my mind, body, & soul are balanced. Why? Well, for almost every …

Maybe it's was his accent, my broken Español, or the casual way in which his eyes lit up when I said "Is that hard to do?" that I decided to go out on a limb yesterday. Literally. (NOTE: my decision may …
