POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

This question came up today in our @atlasforum_ men’s leadership circle.

Old trauma can appear as “intuition” so how do you know if you can trust your intuition?

The only way to know what’s real intuition is to understand your past and the stories you formed when you were small and powerless.

Otherwise no amount of raw undigested experience will make you wise.

Discernment is the key.

We love when Chicago turns country. This wonderful event manages to get better every year! 🤠

So fun to have the chips in the mix at Windy City Smokeout. Thank you to our longtime friends at NumberProject for having us backstage! Lainey Wilson is such a superstar! 🎤

Grateful to the good folks at Lettuce Entertain You for our continued collaboration. And there’s no better night cap than the JP Graziano night window ❤️

I’m just a girl from a small town who loves Chicago, snacks, and fashion. I never thought I’d be so lucky to be on a red carpet rubbing elbows with these legends. This night was one I will remember forever and file away in the “stories to tell my grandchildren” file.
Thank you for an unforgettable night & thank you Tukii Tucker for designing an unforgettable look!

A dress made from potato chip bags? Of course! As a year-old, woman-owned local business, it was such an honor to walk the red carpet at the James Beard Awards (aka the Oscars of Food) and to have our chips as the official snack of the awards. Leave it to Chicago to host the nation’s biggest night in food! Congratulations to all the nominees and winners, and thank you to the James Beard Awards for having us back for the second straight year as the featured snack at the awards.
