After months of planning, we’re so excited to finally be with the team in beautiful Michigan for their CoverTree500 Camp Getaway!

Together, we’ve booked flights in from around the world, busses from Detroit, meals, hotels, wine tours, sailboat rides, shopping excursions and more and we’re so incredibly happy to facilitate this gathering for incredible humans who needed some time together!

Special shout out for our gift boxes, to Grand Beach Resort for being so accommodating, and to
for helping us with flights and road travel arrangements 👏🏼 It takes a village!

This was huge for me, regardless of the outcome. Applying to be on this stage is something I've wanted to do for a decade but couldn't get past. It felt like a block that I just couldn't push through, so no matter what - I know that this will clear a path for many things for me moving forward.

Can't wait to hear back! 🙌

I am so proud to announce that we've been named the best Event Management Company of 2022 by the city of Royal Oak!

We worked hard to build virtual events for companies and groups who needed it most through quarantine. We took pride in helping humans stay connected when so many were lonely and suffering in their homes. At our peak, we ran over 50 events last December in a 3 week window.

I am SO GRATEFUL for our team, the contractors who stepped in to help when I was drowning and for the growth that we saw in just such a short time. We have transitioned the business away from events and are focused on coaching for women now that folks are back in person, so the timing of this award is just the cap on the last few years of extremely hard work and dedication.

Thank you Royal Oak for honoring us!!

How lucky was I this morning to spend time with the incredible Ber-Henda in a collab planning session 😍

4 years and 50lbs of difference between my first half marathon and today. 🥰🙌🏽

I have done so much healing, inside and out, in this span of time. I used to think that to change, it meant you had to overhaul everything at once - no carbs, intense work outs, near starvation - and in reality, that is 100% untrue.

What I really found was discipline and sustainable change….

💖 I met with a nutritionist who told me the right foods to eat for my body. I was able to come off of my injectable psoriasis medication for the first time in my entire life and the weight started to melt.

💖 I don’t count calories or macros. I just eat sensibly and cut out gluten and dairy (ok I cheat w dairy every once in a while with a lot of lactaid 😂 ) per my nutritionist’s recommendation.

💖 I move my body for at least 20 minutes per day, no excuses. Some days it’s an hour of strength training plus a ride. Other days it’s 20min of stretching or yoga. Other days, a walk with my kiddos.
Movement is healing. Movement keeps you moving forward. I will say the one thing I do almost daily is 10min of core work. It impacts every single area of your physical well being and as a Mom, I had to relearn how to connect to my core.

All of this is to say - there is no magic behind this. No pill, no surgery, no injection is going to be sustainable over the long haul. You can work to find a new way of life that works for your lifestyle.

I’m here to help you unstick yourself. Please reach out if you need help 🥰💖🙌🏽

If you're not growing, you're dying and Reconnect Teams is now Reconnect! 🙌

Since launching at the height of remote work in 2020, Reconnect Teams has supported dozens of teams, leaders, and organizations in the virtual events and corporate team building space. I founded the company on the belief that creating community is never an afterthought, it’s a priority! This summer I reflected on how to expand our mission of community building, positivity and progress. After several months working behind the scenes, Reconnect is ready to share a sneak peak.

Many of my days are spent 75% in the office and 25% at home (after picking the kids up from school and sometimes after my youngest is in bed). I’m loving the hybrid work world many of us have found our way into and feel super grateful for the balance!

🌟Are you working remotely, in the office, or are you hybrid now as well?

🌟What tips do you have for working parents who are finding it hard to balance it all?

🌟What are you struggling with in regards to balance? We have such an incredible community and I know many would love to help. 💖

Hey all! I realized this week that while I posted this story on my personal page ( ) a while back, I never posted here on the business page. It was such a huge deal for me that I figured, better late than never - so here you go!

Welp, long story short, after decades of hair coloring, I finally had my first bleach catastrophe which led to a head full of dead hair. I came home from my appt and hair was falling out everywhere, in chunks from the scalp 😭. After some major tears, pep talks from my people, and some attempts to deep condition it, I realized it was just too far gone and needed to come off.

Over the last few days, I thought more and more about how I’ve always wanted to shave my head anyway, so this was just the universe nudging me to take the plunge. Born women, we have a model set for us at a young age for what beauty is - what size and shape we should be, we should have long hair and wear make up, super uncomfortable heels, etc - and it’s crap. Part of my brand has been my colored hair, different pixie styles, it’s how I’m known.

This was a scary thing for me to do, and yet when the hair was off, I felt stronger, more powerful and more beautiful than I’ve felt in as long as I can remember. It turns out, it was just hair, and it’ll grow back when I’m ready for it to. 💪🏽💕

Side note - huggggggge hugs to V with who did the shave and made me feel so amazing!!!! 😍

For those who don’t know, my Dad David, who had been a successful technologist and leader in the auto industry for decades, struggled with depression and addiction, ultimately attempting su***de multiple times before his body gave up at only 60 years old.

So many of our parents weren’t given the tools to talk about mental health, instead finding ways to cover up entire facets of their lives by pretending everything was ok.

For many of us, those habits were passed down and for me personally, I lived in a space of “everything is fine 😭” when things were absolutely NOT fine, for far too long.

Years of therapy, ALANON, yoga and meditation have seen me through to a much, MUCH healthier version of me - a version that doesn’t require pretending all is well, a version that allows ALL of the feelings and welcomes them, a version who is able to sit in silence for the first time in life, and a version who is here to help others who feel stuck in that place of not knowing how to process the trauma and start to move forward.

On this - I’m here to remind you that you are not alone. Please reach out if you need help getting unstuck, whether to me, a friend, family member, co-worker, whoever - just reach out. The world needs you and you are doing the best you can with the tools you have. You are beautiful 💖

This quote really resonated with me this morning. 💖

It was a challenging week! Lots of walking through mud, draining efforts, late nights, and mental fortitude. By yesterday morning, I felt EXHAUSTED, like floating through the world exhausted, which I'm sure many of you can relate to. 💖

Old me would have just kept pushing, working harder, thinking that I could relieve the stress by working more hours and getting more done.

New me said "NOPE....I hear you body, and today we will recharge." So, yesterday morning, I rescheduled my first meeting of the day, got a GREAT work out in, cried my face off, meditated, and shifted my mindset into a place of gratitude.
1. How lucky am I to have more work than I have hours in the day?!
2. How lucky are we to have investors providing feedback and supporting this journey that we're on?
3. How lucky am I to have an incredible family that needs my love and attention?

I could have stayed in the mud, continued to brute force my way through the world, therefore stopping the natural flow of life from coming to me. But I didn't. I stopped myself from drowning by listening to myself.

I hope this is a reminder to you to do the same 💜 Get some recharge time in this weekend.

What an honor it was to speak along side this incredible group of women at the last week!

We talked about balancing multiple companies, personal wellness, and what we’re up against as minority entrepreneurs 🌟

Christina also had the chance to touch on an exciting pivot for Reconnect which we’re excited to launch in just a few weeks! If you’re not growing, you’re dying, and it’s time for a shift. 🌅

If you’ve been feeling a bit lost and perhaps thinking about finding a coach, stay tuned - exciting things ahead!

Thank you to the Bamboo team for all of the work on this event and a huge thank you to .angelina, , and for all that we learned from you! 💖💖💖
