My sister's birthday was last week, so I built her a custom app called Career Compass. She's constantly figuring out her next career move - which course to take, which direction to go - and we have endless conversations about it. She already has a PhD, but she's a lifelong learner (runs in the family, I think). Here's where it gets exhausting: whenever she decides on a direction, I'm the one rewriting her CV, drafting cover letters, and formatting journal articles for publication. So I thought, why not build an app that does it all for her? What I built: - Course Checker - Evaluates whether a course aligns with her stated career goals from onboarding - Degree Explorer - Reviews new directions against what she said she wanted to achieve - CV Updater - Tailors resumes to specific jobs - Cover Letter Generator - Creates customized cover letters - Journal Article Formatter - Formats articles for publication - Mindless Moments - Drawing tool (for her or her three kids) that saves and emails creations The Course Checker and Degree Explorer are particularly useful because they reference her onboarding answers and help her evaluate whether new opportunities actually align with what she wants for her life right now. It's like having accountability built in. I was genuinely excited about this. It was my first time working with encryption on the backend, so it's actually pretty secure. I'm proud of it. Her reaction? Not impressed. She felt like I was trying to remove myself from the equation (guilty as charged). Her exact response: "I'm still gonna call you anyway." So after all that work to free up my time, she plans to ignore it completely. We'll see what happens when I start saying no. It's a boundaries thing at this point. The kicker? When I mentioned I could sell this to other people, she got defensive: "No, it's mine!" But she doesn't plan on using it. That's little sisters for you. Has anyone else built something for family only to have them completely ignore it?

"If you’re not in touch with your essence, how can you bring through your magic sauce?" Cassandra shared this in her tapping class this morning. It landed with me because it’s easy, especially in this fast, exciting AI era, to get swept up in learning, creating, building, responding, troubleshooting, and leading, all while managing the rest of our lives. We move so quickly that we forget the simple truth that our clarity, creativity, and leadership all come from a grounded, regulated nervous system. Grounding isn’t a luxury. It’s physiology. When we pause and let ourselves come back into our bodies, when we slow the cortisol spike and reconnect with what’s real and present, life starts to open again. We gain bandwidth. We become more patient, more centred, more receptive to ideas, more attuned to intuition. We move out of survival mode and back into the creative leadership state where our best work actually comes from. And the thing about grounding is you can’t wait until you’re overwhelmed to “go find the practice.” We have to nurture it before we need it, so that when life gets full, and it does, we already know how to return to ourselves. So, if you’ve been losing things, forgetting things, feeling scattered or rushed, this is your reminder: come back to the practices that anchor you. Move your body. Meditate. Read a few pages of The Artist’s Way. Journal your thoughts out of your head and onto the page. Tap. Sit in nature for five minutes without your phone. Connect with something bigger than yourself. Breathe. These small acts feed your creative well, your intuition, your leadership, your ability to show up for your work and for others. We’re mostly women in this community; women who create, nurture, birth ideas and businesses every single day; and this is just a gentle call to reconnect with your inner source, that deep well of creativity and clarity that is always there when you return to it.
