So happy to have you back! I enjoyed this post. I appreciate your willingness to step up as a leader.
Thank you for sharing your story.

Its just fear and fear is an understandable but punishing emotion sometimes. As you said Michelle, we’ll be more patient, we’ll listen a little longer, we’ll celebrate a little more when we get it right, we’ll empathize a little longer when we don’t.

Somebody recently said they’re changing the serenity prayer from “… accept things I cannot change” to “be more vocal about things that SHOULD change”. My president is on notice … we’re not going back.

Hi Anne — Thank you so much for your kind words. Yes, there is uncertainly. I just keep trying to follow the signals on the journey. It still feels weird to me to share this way, but I just keep following that as well. I do envision the music coming back at some point as well!

Of course, no entity is bigger than the sum of it’s parts, unless those parts refuse to thrive and contribute. That in itself might create something larger, but intrinsically organic. Therefore, I feel you are at the crest of expressing something very vital to all women facing change, facing work issues, facing internal transition, facing loss, facing bias, – you go, girl Authentic! – Anne

P.S. Miss you over music. I hope you keep that in your periphery.

Hi Kelly! Thanks so much. Yes, the work I did with you both on the Circle of Life and the nutrition side were key foundation pieces for me. I will be moving to Chicago soon, so you might see me more regularly as I set up my support structures here in Chicago!
