I have been obsessed with the story of Gideon from chapters 5 and 6 of Judges in the Bible. I think it has a valuable message for women who are learning to live radiantly alive. Please comment and let me know if you agree or disagree.

On Monday I wrote you two words. Today I want to say them out loud.

Somewhere along the way, most of us learned that we only matter when we are useful, and by the third act of life that belief gets very loud. In this video I want to say the truth to your face, and show you how to say it back to yourself: you matter, and you always did. You are not finished, and the world has never needed the gift that only you carry more than it does now.

There's so much heavy news lately, so I wanted to bring you a bit of genuinely happy news!

I walk you through what the longevity scientists are racing to build, why some of them think we'll reach 150 years.

But there’s one thing none of them mention: your body is listening to how you talk to it. That’s the part you can start changing today.

Come celebrate the good news with me. And if it lifts you, send it on to a woman who could use some.

When two people catch the same idea, only you can bring it into the world your way. That way is not a small thing.

It’s essential to the whole, and it’s essential to your own aliveness.

When you hold your essence back, that same fire that would have gone out as your passion turns inward and burns.

Press play, and let me convince you that you are the one the world is still waiting on.

This morning I looked straight at a fear I had been carrying for months. When I finally faced the actual facts, my foundation held, and a much bigger question opened up.

What if joy was never something you had to earn?

What if it belonged to you all along, and a whole wall of old beliefs is the only thing standing in front of it?

In today’s video I walk that wall, brick by brick, and the one small turn that lets the joy back in.

The gap between who you are and who you are becoming can be annoying. But another way to experience it is with excitement…pursuing your own potential can be an exciting ride!

A hummingbird came to my feeder Saturday in the pouring rain, and I started crying before I knew why. In this one I tell you what she showed me about getting older, the Yale study that made me gasp out loud, and the new name I'm stepping into. Come sit with me for a few minutes.

Five years ago I met him on Match. A coffee shop, a first date, and a man who told me he’d never marry again.

Then, a couple weeks ago, he said four words that changed everything.

This video is the story of my wedding. But this post is about more than a wedding. It’s about who I’m becoming, what I’m renaming, and a question I’d love your help with.
