I was a little girl with gigantic dreams.
I wanted to be a doctor, a writer, a world traveler, someone who made a big difference and loved life in a big way.
So I started traveling.
I moved my career online and moved my family into an Airstream.
We traveled full-time for 7 years, visiting 49 states in the US and so many national parks.
We tried roadschooling with our kiddos while roadtripping all over the place.
We loved it.
We felt like kids again, finally pursuing our biggest dreams.
All of a sudden, I found myself in need of a lot of healing.
I lost my mom to cancer.
My husband had a big health scare.
I started feeling the effects of ignoring my mental health.
My old faith wounds grew into giant chasms.
My career stalled.
We tried to live on a catamaran and failed.
Homeschooling & worldschooling older kiddos got harder.
I felt like I was losing myself.
So I made some big changes.
I started reading a lot more.
I hiked a lot and fell in love with building a strong inner life & my daily yoga practice.
I went back to school for my master’s degree and moved my career into self-employment (& loved it).
I expanded my faith and learned about my unconscious biases.
I found my way back to reading and talking about good books.
I kept reading, kept learning, kept growing.
I moved my family into a little cabin in Maine by the place where we all felt the most alive— our favorite national park.
I redefined my life.
I kept reading good books and did a lot of research on people living their biggest dreams.
I started chatting about books every Friday morning over email.
I began collaborating with folks who are making a difference all over the globe through my philanthropy work.
I started writing & publishing my own books.
When I got stuck, I dug into the research again, kept learning, kept listening.
Then, I started writing a blog to share the books that have helped me & so many others redefine our lives.
Now, I’m here with you.
I think the world needs every single one of us to follow our biggest dreams.
So. . .
I host an always-free, everyone-welcome Friday morning book club over email.
I write books.
I work as a philanthropy software advisor.
To help people thrive at home, at work, & where it matters most — inside.
Come join the book club and introduce yourself.
I’d love to get to know you!
