Starting my own business eight years ago was the biggest risk I’ve ever taken.

I had so much self-doubt. But bringing Edie to work and showing her, in real-time, that her mom owns and operates a high-end interior design firm—that was one of those full-circle, pinch-me moments.

I want my kids to grow up knowing they can follow their own dreams, no matter how unconventional. That there are no rules. No boundaries. That they don’t have to fit into a mold—they can create something entirely their own.

Walking into the Morgan Stanley Go Red for Women Leadership Event, I felt an immediate sense of power—a room filled with women who are not only building businesses but also shaping industries, leading families, and showing up for their communities. But what struck me most was the shared realization that, despite all we juggle, our health has to come first.
