White text on a black background that reads: Elon Musk said his DOGE team is shutting down some payments to federal contractors. Funny how he doesn't mention that his corporations are some of the biggest federal contractors on the books. SpaceX alone has more than $20 billion in contracts with NASA and the DoD

When I was in business school, one of our courses was taught by an advisor to the Pacific Command and it felt like 90% of the content was these dense booklets documenting various forms of corruption in other countries (and how this relates to diplomacy, etc),

After my husband's passing six days before Christmas, I lost my drive and focus. I'm back now to connect with others in this space. Not sure yet where my focus will land - but likely women in biz, caregiving, and in the near term - doing my part to call out our current constitutional crisis

In my case it has included becoming a fierce advocate and defender of my husband’s needs and wishes, to ambulance rides, managing home modifications, crowdfunding, and learning to change colostomy bags and external catheters.

Caregiving for someone living with ALS is sort of like the caregiving Olympics. You will do things you never imagined you were capable of doing.

For five years, my spouse has been living with ALS, the fatal neurodegenerative disease that inspired the icebucket challenge. Only 20% of people living with this diagnosis reach this milestone.

Bluesky feels like a blank canvas. Unsure what I'll share here but likely a bit about my experience entrepreneuring while caregiving.
