Part two of my road trip… Cincinnati to Denver 💞

Helping my youngest son, John, get settled into his new apartment in Denver and an exciting new career reminded me that no matter how old our children get, there will always be a part of us that wants to keep them close.

But that’s never really been my goal as a mom.

I’ve always wanted my kids to spread their wings, chase opportunities, and build lives they love – even if those lives, take them far from home. I know it’s because I never left the town in which I grew up in, and raised my children in.

John has landed an incredible job that will challenge him, help him grow, and give him opportunities to travel and learn. And one of the sweetest parts? He’s only about 15 minutes from my daughter Tori and her new husband Francisco. Knowing they’ll get to spend time together, hiking, biking, exploring Colorado, and simply being there for each other makes my heart happy.

As I was flying home, I realized something.

My job is to cheer them on while I continue building a life that I love, too.

This season looks different than I had imagined years ago, but it’s filled with so much to be grateful for.

And to be honest… having reasons to visit Denver, New York City, and St Pete, Florida excites me.

I love this stage of life. Watching my children become remarkable adults has been one of the greatest joys of being their mom. They continue to amaze me, and I can’t wait to see where life takes each of them next. ❤️

I had an amazing time speaking at the 2024 Professional Club Marketing Association's National Conference at the beautiful Ritz Carlton in DC!

The audience ranged from private golf and yacht clubs to everything in between, with roles spanning marketing, membership, and communications. It was fantastic meeting such a friendly group eager to learn about GenAI.

My talk covered:
-What is GenAI, Anyway?
-Changing Your Mindset for GenAI
-Using GenAI Tools to Enhance Your Job

The PCMA members asked great questions during the Q&A, and the feedback was fantastic—telling me they couldn't wait to apply the prompting mindset strategies and tips I provided.

ANYONE can use GenAI. There's no steep learning curve. You just need to know how to talk to it to get the best results.

My prediction is that WOMEN, especially, will excel at using GenAI.

WHY? Because we're better communicators.

So throw away excuses like this is one more thing you have to learn that you don't have time for, or you're not a techie so you defer to the nerds. No, stop that thinking!

I covered , , , , , and more.

My son TJ shared a “life-changing” 😁iPhone trick with me and I have to pass it along!

Ever find yourself needing to talk on your iPhone while you’re busy emptying the dishwasher, cooking or even walking down a noisy street? Inevitably the background noise gets too overwhelming for the person on the other end of the line.

Well, there’s a iPhone setting called Voice Isolation under Mic Mode that you’re going to want to try.

You actually have to be on a call in order to see the setting come up. As soon as you change it the person you’re talking to will not be able to hear your background noise. And it stays that way on all future calls until you change it back to normal. it also works on FaceTime. And if you’re talking to an iPhone user, they can also change their setting while you’re on the call.

Here’s how to turn it on:
1. Swipe down from the top right corner of your screen to open control center.
2. Tap Mic Mode (top right)
3. Select Voice Isolation

This feature prioritizes your voice over all that background clatter.

Click here to see if it’s available on your iPhone version.

When you want your voice to be even clearer during a FaceTime or phone call, turn on Voice Isolation, which prioritizes your voice and blocks ambient noises. When you want your voice and all the sounds around you to be heard during a FaceTime call, you can turn on Wide Spectrum to leave ambient nois...
