Proud Mom

Yes, still young but I love stories like this. They help me understand the past, connect it to the present and imagine a better future. That’s how we grow, right?
I'm curious though, what’s your favorite historical event that shaped the way you see the world?

People power the economy when we support families and workers, businesses have room to grow.

It’s easy to get caught in the noise but the real challenge for companies is structural resilience: can you pause, pivot and continue when the external shock hits?
If your systems demand perfect conditions to function, you’ve built risk.
If they adapt then you’ve built strength.

I don’t raise my daughter to depend on perfect conditions. I teach her to build skills that create freedom.

Economies shift. Policies change.
But ownership, discipline and innovation are constant.

"We’re in a battle for at least the rest of this decade that will require a very different kind of Democratic Party — not one that is more right or left but one that is both comfortable using power and knows how to do it. So I'm going to... move on to the next battle."

Leadership and business aren’t just about winning, they’re about purpose and legacy. #MomEntrepreneur #IntelligentLiving #WomenInTech

After a full day of client calls, investment reviews and strategy sprints, one question stays with me: What value are we really creating?

My daughter asked: ' Mom, is AI just for big companies or for people like me? '

I answered: 'I t’s only meaningful when it helps people, families, you. '

In the most predictable development ever, Mike Johnson is not committing to hold a House vote on ACA subsidies

Fortunately, I’m in a blue state but even here, things are far from perfect. Our state may lean blue but it’s still broken in many ways. We need to focus on fixing the system, regardless of party lines and work toward real, lasting change for everyone.

A 50-year mortgage sounds like a way to trap people in long-term debt while offering short-term relief. While it might seem attractive, it could end up costing homeowners much more in the long run. The focus should be on creating sustainable, affordable housing options not more financial burdens.

This is absolutely shocking. ICE's lack of proper training is putting lives at risk, including law enforcement officers. Mistakes like this are unacceptable and it’s a stark reminder of the urgent need for better oversight and accountability within these agencies.

The Dem lack of backbone foreshadows what will happen if we demand accountability.

Will we have the necessary trials, civil, criminal and military?
We will have accountability? A reckoning?
Or will they, as they always do cave?
No wonder the GOP doesn't fear lawbreaking.

As someone advising firms on AI + operations: stay ahead of policy risk, build flexibility and treat legal UX & compliance not as cost-centres but as strategic enablers.

A warning from the top about trade-policy risk isn’t a far-off scenario but a business concern now.
Tariffs, regulations and legal rulings can alter not only markets but your product-roadmap and investment horizon.

Trump says US faces 'economic disaster' if Supreme Court rules against tariffs. Trade shouldn’t become a trigger for economic instability.
Smart policy means strength + collaboration, not escalation.

Growth isn’t just economic, it’s collective progress.

For those of us building in innovation and operations: stop waiting for the 'perfect moment' and start optimizing today.
Systems you build now will carry you beyond the next headline.
Ending the shutdown means stabilizing families, paychecks and services that keep communities functioning.

Trump takes aim at Obamacare as historic federal shutdown hits 40th day U.S. President Donald Trump doubled down on Sunday on his push to gut Obamacare healthcare subsidies, which his Democratic opponents have insisted on preserving as a condition for ending the 40-day government shutdown.

The deal in the Senate to end the record-long federal shutdown is more than politics, it’s an economic reset. Investors and businesses are reacting fast: markets are up, confidence is inching forward but the clock is still ticking on real recovery.

Incredible how time flies ... 50y since the Edmund Fitzgerald tragedy. The mystery of that storm 'the Witch of November' still sends chills down your spine. It's a powerful reminder of the unpredictable force of nature on the Great Lakes.

Since 2020, I have been fighting for mail-in voting and the GOP has been fighting against it. A critical court case is now going before the U.S. Supreme Court. I can assure you that I will be there fighting hard to ensure every lawful ballot counts.

My message tonight: earn your freedom, build your wealth but remember your responsibility. That means building products, services or solutions that serve people not just profit from them.

Because a strong America means strong middle class, strong families, strong communities.

In my work helping companies build and optimize with AI, I see the gap: advanced tech + strong systems deliver value but value must be accessible not just elite.
If innovation happens only at the top, the rest fall behind.

Most Americans continue to rate the U.S. economy negatively as partisan gap widens Nearly three-in-four U.S. adults (74%) say economic conditions are only fair or poor, up slightly from 72% in January 2024.

When three in four adults say the economy feels just fair or poor, that’s a signal especially for business leaders, investors and parents. 'Cause the numbers don’t just represent abstract data, they represent real families, real stress, real unmet opportunities.

I respect people's right to live as they choose but I don't support pushing the LGBTQ+ agenda, especially on communities or children.

As a Democrat, I believe in equality but we must protect our foundational values and prioritize what’s best for our communities.

Modern challenges for women shouldn't be dismissed but it’s important to empower women to define their own success, rather than pointing fingers.

Everyone deserves equal rights and opportunities but true empowerment comes from respecting personal choice and individuality not from comparing one gender’s struggles to the other’s.

The media's focus shifts constantly but the real issues, like air traffic controller retirements, get ignored. It’s clear that still affects us today and now the mass retirements are just exacerbating the problem.
These long-term impacts need to be addressed not swept under the rug.
