SNOW MUCH TO LOVE! ❄️😂

The winter storm sweeping across the country may be brutal, but it’s also beautiful!🥶

Lake Michigan is frozen and frosted over—a stunning (and chilling) sight to behold.

Grateful to admire the snowy spectacle from the coziness of Kondo Kumar 😁

Stay safe, stay cozy, and stay bundled, friends!

How Cold Is It in Chicago (aka Chiberia)? 🥶❄️

So cold… Lake Michigan’s decided to become a giant ice skating rink

So cold… even the pigeons are wearing parkas.

So cold… -35° wind chill makes your freezer feel like a sauna! 😂

Perfect weekend to stay in, sip something warm, and admire winter’s icy beauty from indoors.

Stay safe & warm, my “Chiberia” friends!! 😁💕

✊🏽 Honoring the Dream, Living the Legacy 🕊️

Today, we remember Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.—a leader who showed us that courage, compassion, and conviction can change the world.

His legacy reminds us that leadership isn’t about power—it’s about purpose. And building a democracy where everyone belongs is work we must continue. 💜

✨One Year Later: A New Chapter, A Full Heart✨

This weekend marks one year since moving Dad into his “new home” at his senior living facility. 💜

I vividly remember the stress, the tears, and the heartbreak of leaving behind our family home of 47 years. It wasn’t easy for either of us.

But fast forward a year—and Dad is beautifully settled, surrounded by loving caregivers, good friends, and a caring community. 🙏🏼

Life lesson: Change is never easy—but sometimes the hardest decisions are the most loving ones. We do what’s best for those we love. 💖

🌟 Ready to Elevate Your Leadership in 2026? 🌟

In today’s fast-changing world, one truth is clearer than ever: your leadership is your greatest career asset. Whether you’re advancing in your role, navigating uncertainty, or inspiring teams — investing in your leadership isn’t optional. It’s essential.

That’s why I’m excited to share my signature course—“Science of Successful Leadership”—a deep dive into the neuroscience and human skills behind exceptional leadership.

You’ll learn how the social brain drives trust, why “soft skills” are actually smart skills, and how to shift from a surviving brain to a thriving one.

If 2026 is your year to grow, lead, and make meaningful impact — start here.

Happy New Year!

🌕🐺 Howl About That Moon?! 🐺🌕

Kicking off 2026 under the glow of the Wolf Supermoon…a magical way to start the year!

Watching the full moon shimmer over Lake Michigan from Kondo Kumar reminds me how grateful I am to call this peaceful view home.

Here’s to a year of wonder, calm, and “moonstruck” magic ahead! 😁

🎄Best Christmas Gift Is Time Together!💕

Spending Christmas w/ Dad this year was truly the greatest gift of all.

While it’s our first holiday not celebrating in our beloved Kasa Kumar, we brought the spirit and love of home into “Kondo Kumar” — complete with treasured furniture, family china, and decades of joyful memories. 💜

Seeing Dad smile and savor our Christmas traditions reminds me true treasures in life aren’t wrapped in boxes — they’re the moments we share and the love we carry forward. 🙏🏼

Wishing everyone a season filled with love, family, and joyful new memories.
