A few days ago, I got a text from someone I hadn’t heard from in a while. “Hey, how are you? I’ve been thinking about you.” Nice, I thought. Then: “How’s business?” Then: “How are your clients doing?” I answered. Politely. Because that’s what you do. But I already knew where it was going. Three…
Lately, I’ve been thinking about what I want 2026 to look like.In a conversation with my husband, he said, “We should all be like Teddy Roosevelt—speak softly, but carry a big stick.” And honestly… yes. That’s the vibe. Last year, I spent a lot of time being intentional about who sits at our table (thank…
Round two of entrepreneurship When I first started my company, I was younger, hungrier, and—if I’m honest—selfish. I poured everything into the work. It was my identity, my ambition, my measure of success. I worked all the time, and I didn’t stop to consider what it cost me, or the people closest to me. Then…
When my husband decided to start a new business, I knew at some point the question would come: “Can you design the logo?” Now, here’s the thing — I’ve designed plenty of logos in my career.

AI is having a moment — and for good reason. It can draft, polish, rephrase, research, schedule, and even brainstorm. At NThreeQ, we use it to spark creative thinking, cut the clutter, and speed up the “busy work.” But while AI can help you write a caption or organize your to-do list, there’s one thing…
July 28, 2025. A date I’ll remember. Not because something wild happened. But because I finally listened to myself. My husband and I have always joked: good things happen on the 24th, bad things on the 26th. This month? I got a plot twist. A tough moment landed on the 24th… so I just decided to skip the…
Why I’m Rewriting the Entrepreneurial Chapter—Again Some chapters in life don’t end with a decision—they evolve with time. After losing my dad, the man who helped me build NThreeQ from scratch, I needed more than just a break. I needed a rebuild. Grief has a way of making everything foggy—even the things you once felt…
A Manifesto for the Ones Who Don’t Play the Corporate Clique Game There was a time when I played the game. The “let’s all eat together” game. The “happy hour is how you build trust” game.I tried.
