The Denver Mic Drop Club met on Monday, and the energy in that room was unmistakably powerful.

It was a smaller group this time, but nothing about the experience felt small.
Every woman arrived carrying something real… and then chose to give it voice.

There were shaky moments, courageous moments, and those powerful in-between moments where someone discovers a truth as she’s speaking it.

That’s the magic of this community: when one woman steps forward, everyone else rises with her.

This is why Mic Drop Club exists — because courage grows in community, confidence blossoms with practice, and something inside of us expands when we're supported rather than silenced.

Grateful for this group, my cohost Cheryl Braunschweiger, and the way they continue to turn courage into momentum.

We all know nagging doesn't help. Here's what to do instead.

Is your partner always late (or are you the late one)? If so, here's what you can do.

11/25/2025

Are you moving through live without consciousness? Don't.

11/24/2025

Don't try to control what isn't in your control.

You have to know the difference between each

When you make choices, do it with agency. Conscious choice matters.

Don't trust certainty. Trust yourself.

11/16/2025

Don't rely on certainty. We're trained to lock down to an idea that keeps us in comfort. That doesn't mean that idea is right for us.

11/14/2025

My mantra: change your story. Even imagining different possibilities can help ease our anxiety and worry.

11/13/2025

Staying locked in a story can hurt you. Instead, lock OUT.
Curiosity and taking things less seriously can free us.

Owning the experience. Don't turn away from it. Don't fight it. Don't run from it.

Lean into the experience. "I am uncomfortable right now. I am feeling these very uncomfortable sensations in my body. And they're mine."

I'm going to own them. I'm going to be in them. And I'm going to trust that not only can I handle it, I can understand what the message is that this pain is trying to deliver.

The purpose of pain is to deliver an important message to you so you're able to take care of yourself.

This is the opposite of everything we've been taught. We've been conditioned to immediately fix, medicate, distract, or escape from discomfort the second it shows up.

But what if your pain isn't the problem? What if it's the solution trying to get your attention?

When you say "I own this feeling," something powerful happens. You stop being a victim of your emotions and start being the one in relationship with them.

"This anxiety is mine. I'm not going to pretend it's not happening. I'm going to listen to what it's trying to tell me about this situation."

"This sadness is mine. I'm not going to rush through it. I'm going to hear what it knows about what I've lost."

Your pain isn't random. It's intelligent. It knows things about your life that your logical mind hasn't figured out yet.

When you lean in instead of away, when you own instead of disown, you gain access to wisdom you can't get any other way.
