New job, new chapter, new business, next project? Celebrate this fresh start - you’re not starting over, you’re starting informed. What glimmers and lessons will you pull forward as the foundation for this year’s success?

Along my journey, I’ve held many roles - corporate executive, entrepreneur, and founder. Like many of you, I spent years looking for fulfillment in traditional jobs. One thing I know: the sooner you step toward what calls you, the more fulfilled you will be.

In this chapter of life, we bring the experience of many roles. We arrive at this stage with a strong foundation built on years of work, jobs, or careers. Parents, kids, friends, or even grandbabies may be receiving our care and attention. We generously give of ourselves as we nurture and support. What about you? As a woman, a creator, an entrepreneur, or a business owner? We put others first, yet we sit on the sidelines of our desires, ignoring what we feel called to do, share, and create. How does this make you feel? What does this teach the young women in your life? The other women who look to you for direction?

With your lessons, knowledge, and experience, your age is an asset. Now isn’t the time to downgrade or downshift; this is when your skills, accomplishments, and experience converge to reveal your next exciting chapter - the business, the body of work, you are destined to deliver. This is your chapter to define.

I invite you to put yourself at the top of the list and expand your extraordinary ripple effect.

I am a firm believer that knowing how you define beauty - what it feels like, how it sounds, what it looks like - is the key to unlocking your most fulfilling life. Why? When you immerse yourself in and around elements that are meaningful, inspirational, and genuine to you, it invites you to think differently. You’re more relaxed, free, and open. And that’s when the ideas start flowing, the solutions become clear, and possibilities unfold.

For me, I love being outside in nature, on or by the water, walking festive main streets, or being in the urban energy of New York City. These are all ways I define beauty. It’s what you see in my work. How do you define beauty? Do you know where you feel the most expansive? It could be in luxurious clothing, cooking beautiful foods, gardening, or marathon running. It’s what’s right for you. What’s one thing you can do today to pull that vision closer and invite your wild creativity? (A candle scent, a song, photos, flowers, a book, a walk…?)
