As I write this I'm in a hotel room about to attend an Analyst Relations conference. Yesterday I spoke on a panel about B2B influencers and how they intersect with analysts. I'm thoroughly enjoying my role and feel blessed to use my marketing and relationship building skills daily. I had the pleasure of flying to San Jose/Santa Clara to meet up with my team in person and visit the AMD headquarters. It was wild to see Silicon Valley and all the tech headquarters in one area. It's an exciting time in the semiconductor space because of AI.  If you're new here I myself at the beginning of 202 ..read more

Maybe it's the Enneagram 7 in me but I love a challenge at the beginning of a new year. Over the years I've done a few budgeting/shopping challenges. For instance in college I went a year with only buying second hand clothing, and when my kids were babies I did a 6 month no shopping challenge. For some reason I'm more motivated about our spending and budgeting this year. Probably because I have a dozen trips on my mind and I can't travel AND shop to my heart's desire. So here we go....24 ITEMS IN 2024!  ..read more

Years ago I started blogging about my monthly goals and it made a drastic impact on my life. Instead of focusing on big hairy yearly goals that are easy to lose track of I focused on smaller bite size goals that can help achieve those loftier goals.  I'm an enneagram 7 and LOVE dreaming of change.

I encourage you to join me! Writing them down has a powerful effect and keeps me accountable. Small goals can be as simpl ..read more

Months before I was laid off from my job I started doing coaching sessions with a therapist. Instead of it being structured like a traditional therapy program (past focused) it focused on the future. Felt more like life/career coaching. I met with my coach every other week for 3 months, and during that time we spent a lot of time discussing fear vs. love based thinking. It was a game changer for me, and I wanted to share the golden nuggets from what I learned in hopes it could help someone else ..read more
