In March of 2019, I approached the founders of Linking Indy Women regarding their monthly speaker series and blog re-caps. Consequently, I am now providing the blog writing service for this amazing organization. The third Wednesday of every month, LIW is providing a way for the women of Indianapolis to connect, inspire, and share their stories.

In addition, this becomes a networking opportunity for city women leaders. Afterward, they leave feeling empowered, inspired, and with a sense of connection to other women. Visit the Linking Indy Women site for more information. As an example, here are a few of the most recent speaker re-caps:

ALLY BRETTNACHER – Founder of Athlete Bouquets

ALMERA MAHMOOD – CFO of Prolific

ANDREA HUNLEY – Indiana State Senate, District 46

Oh, and me! I was a speaker in January… HEATHER LOWEY – Life & Leadership Coach

In 2019, I began writing a book, Motherhood: The Non-Compete Sport. Out of this reflection, it occurred to me that a blog would be a great platform to create a community for moms who want to be a part of a team. Motherhood is a crazy journey.

Emotional rollercoaster coupled with self-doubt and mix in some imperfect moments and you’re basically there in understanding this phenom. There is no mom manual. In fact, there isn’t a right or wrong way to be a mom. Trial and error. Mix and match. A+ one day, F the next. You get the picture.

The Mom Huddle began by sharing stories about my journey in motherhood. Then an evolution began. Women with AMAZING stories emerged from all walks of life. Having this platform to create community in what can sometimes feel like a lonely space felt very natural. Subscribe now so you don’t miss out on the amazing women and stories of The Mom Huddle.

During the summer of 2018, Jeremy and I earned a five-week sabbatical from adidas due to years of service. As a result of this gift of time, we took a three-week RV trip out West with the family. To regularly keep our family and friends updated on our progress, I wrote a blog to share in this adventure.

You can see the stories from our trip on the Are We There Yet Blog. Incidentally, it was very likely this travel blog that reignited my love of writing. Maybe I will look back on it as a “where it all began” one day!
