I didn’t arrive at “a woman should be excited by her own life” as a branding line.
I arrived at it because my own life broke open—and once the emergency was over, I realized I didn’t want the prize for surviving to be “fine.”
I’ve had several professional lives.
I began in journalism and publishing, with work appearing in places including The New York Times, Fast Company, and Real Simple. Along the way, I returned to my alma mater, the Missouri School of Journalism, to teach, and led creative and innovation work at Hallmark. Later, I spent 12 years as Global Director of Public Relations for Landmark Worldwide—and eight years leading its seminars.
Across all of it, I’ve cared about how we consciously create lives that bring more of us into play—our gifts, our imagination, our courage—and allow us to contribute to life in whatever way moves us.
Ten years ago, I founded It’s Time for Moxie to give that work a home.
To me, moxie isn’t bravado. It’s the courage to answer what is calling you—to give desire somewhere to go in your actual life.
Through Moxie, I work with thoughtful, accomplished women who can feel something calling them forward, even when they can’t yet name exactly what it wants.
I’m not interested in telling women to blow up their lives or pretend their circumstances don’t matter.
We hold the actual facts in one hand and the luminous desire in the other. Then we find a right-sized move that honors both.
Nothing has to be wrong for something more alive to be calling.
If that’s where you are, you’re in the right place.
I’d love to know: What would make you more excited by your own life right now?
