I shared this in an Instagram post a short few hours after I did this Facebook Live broadcast that, I have to say, was the one I am most proud of in my almost 5-year live-broadcasting history.

My intention was to share how to be more productive and confident starting with how you get dressed.  It turned into something more.

It turned emotional - not for myself but for hope for you - about...

Peace means different things to everyone but there is one thing that is true for all of us, we all get overwhelmed.

It was an honor to be a guest on my new fellow podcaster's show. Sabine and Lisa are warm, down-to-earth, real women who are genuinely interested in helping women hear unique stories of other women and their journeys in life.

In my episode, we talked about my origin story and of course my "dress in confidence" philosophy that I see as my mission to share with women as a better way to...

"Confidence is self-love in action."

Whether you are aware or not, you are serving someone - every day with every choice you make. No matter what your role. Are you intentional about who that is and what you offer them?

I've experienced that when we get very clear about what Magic we bring to those we serve AND use it, everything falls into place - we no longer question ourselves or our...

On February 6, at the 9th Annual Inspiring Women's Conference, I was excited to be a contributing sponsor in the All of Her Makeover.
