photo from sassy kitchen As a cyclist who used to ride 50-100 miles every weekend, I know first-hand that how you fuel on and off the bike is key to performance and recovery. However, in the past year, I’ve swapped those weekend rides for lots of travel, filled with important meetings, speaking opportunities, and shorter […]
images by kristen kilpatrick I’m naturally a creature of habit: it makes me genuinely happy to make my go-to green smoothie for breakfast, take the same route on our family’s neighborhood walk each day, and go to bed around the same time every night.

When that dream career doesn’t just fall into your lap, sometimes you need a dramatic change of pace—and perspective. Many of us have reached a moment that feels like rock-bottom when we’re jobless, broke, and not sure where to go next.

Many of us want to achieve status in our dream jobs by 30, be married with multiple kids by 35, sell the company by 40… etc, etc. […]
The end of January may not be the most expected time to throw a dinner party, but I think it’s actually perfect. Hear me out. The holidays are over (pressure’s off!), it’s too cold to really want to go out, but everyone’s going stir-crazy from being at home so many nights in a row. Trust […]
Speaking from the perspective of a semi-newlywed woman, I can guarantee that just about every bride you know has registry regrets. Whether it’s due to pressure from others, lack of understanding all the options, or the fact that you have so much other stuff swirling around in your head, the truth is that it’s impossible to […]
