I have had so many warm fuzzies in the last couple of weeks! I sometimes wonder if my voice echoes in a podcast void. Well, I recently got two heartwarming messages from listeners of a guest episode I was on, and I watched the sales of my book increase after a second podcast feature. It felt so validating! Then, I presented to over 1600 (!) accountants on Working Well Remotely and Time Power-Ups and received this message below. And guess what? Some were juggling email notifications on 3+ devices! So, if you're on that notification hamster wheel, consider this your permission slip to step off—device by device. Remember, those pings and dings are designed to steal your focus, not boost your productivity. Then, I presented to IDEXX on Meeting Power-Ups. They were a highly engaged group and fun to work with! The buzzwords of the day? Practical. Actionable. Fluff-free. Then, I saw this message from a personal coaching client as a photo from her Powered Path Playbook™. We are all deeply committed to the success of our clients here, and the clients we take on have that same level of commitment to themselves. I also learned that I got accepted to do a TEDx talk! I'll be speaking at TEDx NCSU on April 14. Topic to be rolled out at a later date. And speaking of rolling...I dove into breakdancing classes last week! It's one of my 50 things to do before 50, and it's as awesome as it sounds. Note that jumping rope, weight training, running, and biking do not transfer fitness to breakdancing. It's hard (and fun)! Pro tip: grippy sneakers and breakdancing don't mix—unless you're planning on a broken finger. A few more of my 50 - re-reading 5 books that have been impactful, one of which is Extreme Ownership: How U.S. Navy Seals Lead and Win. It's one of the top five business books I recommend, and I have two clients reading it right now! Another one I have re-read already is The Five Love Languages. This was truly eye-opening 15 years ago when I realized why my husband didn't care about the meals I left behind for him when I traveled (Acts of Service) and why I needed to praise and recognize him more (Words of Affirmation). When you get this, I'll be on a mountain bike and disc golf day trip with my husband and planning our next 90 days for the family in the Powered Path Playbook. Tomorrow, we'll see one of our favorite performers, Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit for Band Together. On with the Weekender!

Milestone Unlocked: Manuscript Sent! Last week, I hit send on my book manuscript, kicking it over to the designer for the final polish. A book’s never truly “done” (I’m on version four of Work Well. Play More!), but it’s officially in the formatting pipeline! Here’s what’s next: cover design, uploading to Amazon, launch team building, marketing strategy, and preparing Reclaim Your Workday Live for teams that want hands-on guidance while reading.

Ah, the culture buzz! I’ve packed in three live music events and a play in the past two weeks. The highlight? Front row for John Moreland—just me and 38 others in a converted church in Durham after his Asheville performance was canceled. My heart goes out to everyone in the surrounding areas, including Florida, recovering from Hurricanes Helene and Milton. On the RaderCo front… Huge thanks to everyone who voted for my next book title! After a 3-way tie and two more discussions with...
