“As a woman, you marry your ceiling.”
After working with many women, I’ve learned your partner can either lift your ambitions or limit them.
Watching #TaylorSwift’s podcast debut reminded me: even at the top, having real support matters. Who you choose truly impacts the size of your dreams.

Yes as a team we might have lost a lil efficiency… But we make it up by being more human and letting everybody feel seen!

#Progress does not happen exponentially every day, but if you stick around for something long enough you’ll see bursts when things compound & mini hockey sticks get created…
Too often people chase immediate virality and give up too soon.

On this #FathersDay I’m holding gratitude for all the men who after becoming fathers try to become the best versions of themselves!
Who are consistently creating secure worlds. Who love without condition. Who raise kids to believe in a better world.
Fathers matter more than we often say out loud.

I became a mom on the very day, March 5th, the 1st Covid case was detected in Canada, & 6 days before the pandemic was declared!
I wrote this 4 years back, & over the years this has been more true than anything else
Babies are born and moms are made ❤️

2025 - not the best year so far for aviation.
Pearson is my home airport and I have gone in and out of it a bazillion times.
🤞 for all on the #Delta flight - hopefully they get the help they need (including the emotional support for the trauma) & the airport investigates how and why this happened

We are not perfect, in North America we have done things which led to a lot of pain & soul searching but this THIS makes me proud
Diversity is not anti-merit. You can hold people to exceptionally high standards & still be inclusive.
You can't guarantee outcomes but should open opportunity to all!
