We wake up, get work, go back home and rinse and repeat – or at least it feels that way sometimes. In truth, there are a million moments in between where we interact with others and we can’t help but wonder what folks will think about us once we aren’t showing up, perhaps once we are gone.

That I motivated and inspired them, helped them become the best version of themselves, and made them feel seen, supported, and valued. Read more>>
