RaderCo - Weekender Snapshot
Published over 1 year ago • 2 min read
Overwhelmed with emotion...
I'm surprised I didn't need an IV for dehydration because I ugly-cried for five days... My TEDxNCState talk last Friday was an absolute whirlwind of love, support, and validation.
With over 30 friends and clients cheering me on, and the flood of comments, texts, and voicemails afterward - I was swimming in a sea of emotions.
The OUTPOURING of love made every second of the 55 hours I poured into prep totally worth it.
Now, I'm gearing up to spill all the detailsin a podcast & blog post once the video is released (fingers crossedit's within the month!). My favorite quote from the whole shebang?"That was a roller coaster of emotions that everyone needs to take a ride on!" Talk about hitting ALL the feels!
Shoutout to RaderCo Productivity Specialists Judith & Elisabeth for the gorgeous surprise flower arrangement and BIG love to the NSA Carolinas crew.
MASSIVE hugs to RaderCo Vocal Communications Specialist Helen Moses for helping me shape my final talk!
My perfect post-TEDx recovery was a walkie-talkie & coffee with my friend Sara, dinner at the fab Fiction Kitchen with more friends, and a forest bathing experience at the NC Botanical Gardens with Concierge Lisa.
Also, huge thanks to my Ah-Maz-Ing stylist, Michelle Scaraglino, for whipping up that custom jacket that made me feel like a TEDx rockstar.
Now, onto other adventures that haven't taken over my life lately...
We got to catch up with our college roommate and her daughter at Mookie's New York Deli. Who wouldn't want to try Marcey's Crispy Brussels Sprouts (yep, named after yours truly)?
Also, had the honor of speaking for the global admin team of MiracleFeet, an incredible organization changing lives worldwide. Check out their work and consider donating. Every kid deserves the chance to run and play and club foot is fixable with the proper treatment!
Then, there was the "I Respectfully Disagree" launch event, where I talked about how Justin Jones-Fosu's book made me think about all the times I've disrespectfully agreed. Yep, it's a thing.
When you get this, I'll be treating Mom and me to a much-needed pedi at Relax Foot Spa. My family's in town, so it's all about walks, bikes, ice cream, and action movies.
On with the Weekender!

Kitchen chaos, PT truths, and surprise book-club love. The kitchen renovation rolls on, and I’m now a whiz at healthy meals powered by a Yeti cooler + microwave combo (shoutout to Hungryroot and Aldi). We’ve only caved to the siren call of takeout once. We also escaped to Greenville, NC, for my husband’s disc golf tournament, where a working sink and oven felt like a luxury resort. Lessons earned: 1) I’d rent a coworking space for a month. 2) We’d move all the furniture to the garage for...
