I just returned from an incredible trip abroad—and a 2-week break from the news. Catching up now feels a little like that Finding Nemo moment when Dory & Marlin happily chase the light… only to be face-to-face with the anglerfish’s giant teeth. 🦷 “Good feeling gone.”

If you’re feeling that, too, here are a few things helping me stay engaged without tipping into overwhelm:

🌿 Simple grounding practices:
• Be patient with yourself (especially if you’re grieving or anxious)
• Step outside—look at the sky, notice the breeze on your skin, listen to the sounds.
• Move your body—come out of your head. What does it feel like to move?
• Take one small action. Celebrate.
• Choose who you listen to. Try these out:

Wow. When I exited the movie theater - my first response was, “I need a minute.”

I’ve heard several reviews from people who have said that this is the best movie they’ve ever seen.

We have heard some of the stories of young Black men who grew up in the segregated south. This movie actually puts you in the shoes of these young Black men.

Several years ago I visited the National Center for Civil and Human Rights in Atlanta, Georgia. There was an interactive exhibit where you went up to the soda counter and sat on stools, then put headphones on and closed your eyes. The bullying started, the chairs shook. The fear was visceral.

I walked out of the theater with the same feeling. A visceral understanding. I know that there is a lot happening in the world right now which may make you want to pull back - but it is even more critical that we lean in.

Make the time and the space in your life to see this movie.

In honor of Black History Month - sharing a book that I’ve been devouring then slowly digesting.

I had the great privilege of hearing Rachel speak at a conference last year. She was absolutely captivating.

There are so many things in my adult life that I have re-learned… or maybe just am seeing with more life experience behind me. I have always considered myself a women's advocate and a feminist. What I never considered was how racism shaped the history of feminism - or even how feminism has been steeped in racism. Reading Rachel’s book I found myself saying, well, of course it is. And why would I have thought that it wasn’t? A Renaissance of Our Own is an invitation to review what we think we know with an open heart and mind - and more than review, to re-learn - find out what we missed and keep learning.

Of course as a memoir there is so much more to say. Rachel has pushed back against societal rules and expectations. She has built what she and many others needed. She is an activist, philanthropist and CEO. As her book says, “A Renaissance of Our Own gives us the courage to look at the world and say, ‘I want something different.’ It serves as a reminder of the power and possibility of reimagining a life that feels right, all the way down to the marrow of your bones."

As a coach, I have worked with women in all types of leadership roles - surgeons, teachers, c-suite executives, tech leaders, entrepreneurs, professors, and a mixed bag of other professionals.

Do you think that these smart, capable, driven women don’t have the information that they need to make healthy choices?

Of course not. The biggest challenge for most people is not their knowledge of “eating right” or “exercising” - it’s their ability to carve out time for themselves on a consistent basis. Making the time for themselves and managing their own energy.
