Joy is not found in the latest shiny thing, nor is it something random for which one has to wait. Blended with its most potent partners - compassion and courage - it is the fuel for personal empowerment and political change. In my professional life, I help heart-oriented women who want their careers to thrive, with calm in place of chaos, balance in place of burnout, clarity in place of confusion, and love in place of pushing - because living one's purpose is a potent source of resonant joy. In my private life, I follow politics and my lifelong passion for social justice - and I fuel my own joy purposefully, with singing, building Lego, and hanging out with my still-hilarious husband of 30+ years.
