didn’t correct him at the time. How could I? We were barely friends. It was a message overheard, like some piece of rotten seaweed floating in the river of his discontent, and I wasn’t about to fish it out then kindly request he stop telling lies. And was it even a lie? Anything can be a lie if it diverts from your idea of truth. Here’s (basically) what was said:

Real Living On Demand Recap: A Live Q&A
Real Living On Demand Recap: A Live Q&A
he ring light was slightly too far left. The computer, a little to the right. The exactitude of setting up an at-home studio felt far from exhausting, it actually helped build excitement about speaking on air. This time, I was scheduled to talk about content, and how the perks of good content can, like a catchy tune in a dimly lit karaoke bar, make your business sing.
A few weeks ago, the team…

Step Into Your Power
Step Into Your Power
By Gabrielle Katz
Last week I was lucky enough to attend the Female Founder Collective’s What’s Next Fest. During the three-day virtual summit, I heard remarkable female leaders share their experiences on the way to success and how to lead once they got there. One session in particular changed my perspective completely. The session, “Owning the Room and Owning Your Future,” gave me a sense of…

Renewing Your Sense of Purpose
Renewing Your Sense of Purpose
By Annaliese Bennett
“It was never about the art; it was always about how you looked while creating it.”
A while back, I decided to purge some of the seemingly endless notes I’ve accumulated on my phone. I’ve developed a habit in recent years of using my notes app as a catch-all for everything from grocery lists to a space where I jot down random thoughts and musings. This simple little reminder…

Failing Forward with the Female Founder Collective's What's Next Fest
Failing Forward with the Female Founder Collective’s What’s Next Fest
By Annaliese Bennett
“We have to be able to try things out and to fail forward.”
[O]ut of all the brilliant insights from the many talented women I’ve had the opportunity to listen to over the past few days during the Female Founder Collective’s What’s Next Fest, this simple reminder from Nadia Al Saeed, CEO of Bank al Etihad, has stuck with me the most. (more…)

Financial Literacy For College-Age Adults
Financial Literacy For College-Age Adults
By Gabrielle Katz
[C]ollege. The “best four years of your life.” And don’t get me wrong, as a current college student I can confidently say they are, but there’s so much more to the experience than those six words. Over the span of just four short years, you not only learn learn more about yourself but also about how life in the real worldworks. Living on your own, or in my case living 1,800…

How to Fix Your Bike and Solve Your Business Problems
How to Fix Your Bike and Solve Your Business Problems
[I]t was a sticky, hot Saturday morning. The back tire of my bicycle had sprung a leak, so I stood sweating outside the local bike repair, an admirably scruffy shop wedged between a bakery and a tattoo parlor. (more…)

A Morning Playlist
[I]’ve read the books. I understand the theories but sometimes, it’s just hard to get going in the morning. Yes, a solid morning routine sets you up for a productive day except when the day is the night is the what time is it now??? even the most deeply learned routines begin to fizzle. (more…)

A Sneak-Peak ...
A Sneak-Peak …
[A] new season … a new house … a new vibe …
Each time I move into a new space, I like to change the vibe with wall color, furniture arrangement and decor to match my mood entering the season. Shifting from a downtown apartment to a suburban house, a jam-packed schedule and – of course – functionality for my kitty, Billi, I’m reinventing my bedroom to make the most comfortable room in my house…

Thoughts on Spanish Sand
Thoughts on Spanish Sand
[H]ere you will come undone.
The Thought was odd. Too dark for the cloudless, turquoise morning and even weirder, not my own. The words I could sense, and almost touch if I wanted to, but they didn’t crystallize from my mind. It was as if each time I watched the sailor work the ropes to set his boat free and look toward the hotel on the edge of the Maspalomas Dunes, he was looking at me. Or he…
