A huge thank you to my Personal Board of Directors—you know who you are! Some of you are here, others are in different parts of my life, and I’m deeply grateful for all of you.

People sometimes ask if working for myself feels lonely. My answer? Never. I just have to remember to ask for help, and—voilà—you’re there.

As Brené Brown says, “We’re hardwired for connection.” We’re not meant to navigate life’s struggles and joys alone. When I was about to launch my practice, my biggest fear was doing it solo. My coach at the time, Sylvie Marcil, kindly but directly challenged me: “Do you have to do it alone?” That question changed everything. I realized I had an incredible circle of support—friends, family, chosen family, mentors, coaches, healers, and peers. My Personal Board of Directors.

Now, when my clients feel stuck, I ask, “Who’s on your Personal Board of Directors that could help with this?” And just like that, light bulbs go off. Support can come from so many places—friends, family, peers, therapists, unconventional healers. And I’m there too.

If you’re struggling with something big (or exciting!), who can you reach out to? We often hesitate to ask for help, but the people in our corner usually love to show up for us. Try naming your Board, letting them know, and see how much it means—to you and to them.

In uncertain, challenging times, strong, trusted connections matter more than ever. So thank you, Sylvie, for that nudge. And to my Board—you know I’ve got your back too.
