Happy New Year! I wanted to share an update on why I have been absent from posting and why I canceled our community calls. At the end of last year, we lost Gillian, someone who was central to both me personally and to Leaders ADAPT. Her passing was sudden and devastating. For those who knew her, you understand how much light she brought to everything she touched. For her family, the loss has been unbearable, and watching them navigate this grief has been heartbreaking. She left behind people who loved her deeply and depended on her in ways that are impossible to replace. Beyond the emotional weight of losing Gillian, her absence created real challenges for the business. She was involved in so much of what we do, and suddenly that work fell to me during a time when I was already stretched thin. The combination of grief and operational pressure has been a really hard period. At the same time, Q4 brought a significant increase in client demand, both from existing relationships and new ones coming to Leaders ADAPT. This growth is something I am grateful for, but it has meant that passion projects like this community, book promotion (speaker engagements), and the Adapt or die podcast have had to take a back seat. I am actively hiring to meet demand, and once the team is ramped up, this will no longer be an issue. To add to everything, my family and I made several real estate investments this year. One of them turned out to be outright fraud and we lost $500,000. The legal aftermath and lawsuits have consumed a substantial amount of time for both me and my wife, and this process will continue for a long time. Once things stabilize, my intention is to bring back multiple calls each month, free group coaching sessions, and much more. I appreciate your patience and your continued presence here. It means a lot.

In my chapter of 𝘗𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳 𝘞𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘗𝘦𝘳𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯, I shared about my own struggles with impostor syndrome: doubting myself, second-guessing decisions, and wondering if I really belonged in leadership. I know I’m not the only one. Most women in leadership feel this at some point. That’s why I put together this short ebook: 𝟱 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘀𝗲𝘁 𝗦𝗵𝗶𝗳𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗦𝘆𝗻𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗲. It’s practical, simple, and full of ideas you can actually use to grow confidence and presence. 👉 Read it here If something in it helps you, would you share your biggest takeaway in the comments?
