July is not about pushing through.
It’s about creating with what’s real.
Grief is still here.
So is joy.
So is the desire to make something meaningful.
This month, I’m choosing embodied wholeness—
Letting grief and creativity walk together.
Letting rest and rhythm lead. #LivingIn3DPower #JulyGoals

Feel! We must feel and allow it to fuel us to create the world we deserve to inhabit, rooted in Love. Let your rage, sadness, despair unfold into something powerful to disrupt the violence in this world. Be a freedom dreamer. Be the great alchemist and create!

June is for rooted expansion.
Not more hustle, but more truth.
Not bigger reach, but deeper roots.
Let this month stretch you without unraveling you.

This was collective healing. A reminder that leadership doesn’t begin when you’re older. It begins when you’re witnessed.

We talked about courage.
About identity.
About being seen in a world that asks girls to shrink.
Emma said:
“If you have an idea, do it. And if you have more, do it.”
She wasn’t performing.
She was becoming.
And the room met her with thunder. #livingin3dpower #substacknewsletter #youthleadership

Emma and I recorded our 1st #livepodcast keynote this week. She’s 10. The room filled with 200+ 7th-grade girls that clapped for every truth she spoke. They reminded us what real affirmation sounds like. What happened next changed both of us. #livingin3dpower #substacknewsletter #youthleadership

This weekend, I’m inviting you to do the same:
• Create a ritual just for you
• Write to your younger self
• Celebrate without needing a reason
Come back to the center.
You were never meant to be anywhere else.
What’s one way you’ll center yourself this weekend?

The biggest lesson?
I was never meant to live on the margins of my own story.
I now understand I can be centered in love—not because I earned it, or someone felt obligated, but because I’ve always been worthy of it.
That’s the sacred return.
That’s the power of truth.

For most of my life, birthdays were complicated—wrapped in silence, unmet expectations, and a longing to be seen.
This year, I made a different choice.
Not just to celebrate, but to center myself.
Without guilt. Without apology.

Emma answered your questions this week—boldly, honestly, hilariously.
What surprised me most wasn’t what she said…
It was how clearly she knew who she was.
What would it look like to lead with that kind of confidence—at 10, or at 40?
New episode drops tomorrow.

What if that phrase wasn’t about silence but about softness, honesty, and wisdom?
This week’s roundup explores radical hope, emotional truth, and leadership rooted in wonder.
Because sometimes, the most powerful voice in the room is the one we were taught to correct. #Livingin3DPower

This week reminded me that real leadership isn’t about control but about curiosity.
It’s about slowing down.
It’s about listening to the truth, even when it comes from a child.
Emma and I asked: What if staying in a child’s place was sacred? #Livingin3DPower

April is mine. Not just a birthday—but a reclamation.
From survival to sovereignty. From silence to celebration.
This month I’m rooted in ease, truth, and community care.
Joy is a right. Rest is a ritual. My story is still unfolding—and I get to write it. #AprilGoals

My dog just standing there—two paws in, two paws out—letting all the good air out like he pay bills. And suddenly I’m yelling,

In our latest podcast convo, Emma reminded me of Gravity Falls—a show full of weird clues & hidden truths.
It made me think of MLK’s warning: don’t sleep through your revolution.

This week, power tried to distract us—from SignalGate to an executive order attacking Black history. But distraction is a tactic. And memory is our resistance.

In 2019, our Black students—and their aspiring allies—led us to truth at the NMAAHC.

They remembered what this country keeps trying to forget.
Truth was never lost. It was buried.
And we’ve always been the ones to dig. #WeWillNotBeErased
