I love a conversation that makes you reflect on your past self, it allows you to see how far you have come and maybe provide some acceptance and, dare I say it, appreciation for all that you have been through. The good, the bad, the hard, and all the in betweens! When we were talking with Ryann...

I loved our conversation with Ryann - it was so refreshing and authentic. She said this quote above in the middle of our conversation and it just stuck with me. Mostly because I have been there! 

When we were building the Bradford - I was on kid duty, they were hungry, and I had to go to...

I feel this deeply. It is hard to imagine when we started out where we would be today. C and D was a hobby and a promise of a dream. It didn’t really have to make any money, it just needed to fuel our creativity and expose us to an industry that we hoped we  would one day be a part of....

Welcome to Perfecting the Partnership. In this series, we're learning about what it takes to work together by talking with other partnerships to understand their dynamic.

We are so excited for our first episode in our series of perfecting the partnership. Some time last year, we were sitting down...

I stand by these words. Being in a partnership has been one of the hardest parts of my life and one of the most rewarding. One of the things that makes it so hard is the fact that YOU (in my case I mean me) and whatever it is that you are going through, is a part of that deal. This is the case in...

What a fun episode! It was SO nice to chat with not only another partnership but a sister duo as well - I think we could have chatted forever about the dynamics of business ownership with your sister. I loved the authenticity and realness that Marni and Willa brought to the conversation about the...

As a high achieving person - this concept of being identified as your function really hit home. I can’t think of a time I had a label that was not defined by what I did. I am a boss, a sister, a mother, a wife, a wedding planner, a venue owner, an employer, a speaker, a consultant, a...

I have always taken so much inspiration and motivation from hearing other people's stories - especially the hard, ugly parts that are difficult to talk about - because I think it is in these moments where the most growth and learning take place, not just for the storyteller, but for anyone who...

Company Culture! What a hot topic right now. People all over the world are leaving their jobs not because of pay or even because they hate it- but they are leaving because the culture is toxic. Their boss sucks, and they loathe going into work every day. 

It is such an interesting shift from...

What a force! It was so inspiring meeting Anne and talking about her journey to becoming the Triangle CEO of the year! She is such a visionary and principled person and I love how doing what you believe, even if it is not what everyone else is doing (or what makes sense to your accountant), leads...

How exhausting it is to keep a mask on all the time? There's something to be said for just being your authentic and true self, and it's going to attract your tribe.

This is a question my husband actually asked me last fall - How exhausting is it to keep up this image you’ve created? He was...

So much inspiration - I was left in awe of John and all that he managed to accomplish given his circumstances. I especially loved his ability to relate that to any and everyone who may be going through something tough, and believe me, if you haven’t already been through a hard time, your...
