Hello, good people. It feels like a great time for a little re-introduction! 👋🏾 For those who are new here (and a friendly hello to my long-time peeps!), I'm passionate about helping companies and incredible women thrive.

On the business side, I partner with organizations to streamline operations, navigate digital transformation, ace project management, integrate artificial intelligence (AI), and cultivate strong leadership.📇✅️

For ambitious female leaders and innovators, I offer coaching and accountability to design a life they love, whether that involves strategic lifestyle shifts, fulfilling travel (solo and group adventures included!), or embracing the freedom of the digital nomad world. 👩🏾‍💻✈️

If you're ready to move from feeling stretched thin to living and leading with more ease and intention, let's connect! ✨

Ananse. Ananci. Anansi....and all the many variations collectively tell a universal story. Though the individual stories vary, they speak to a very strong cultural download.

I was invited to be a guest speaker and panelist for the book launch of "Who is Like Ananse?" by Mansa and @ntentanuniverse. The book features Ananse, the legendary trickster, storyteller, and shape-shifter, whose web stretches from Ghana across the African Diaspora to the Caribbean and South America.

The event featured a diverse panel, live storytelling, a book signing, and great music. At the end of the event guests were invited to purchase books and snacks in support of this great celebration!

Moderator AND Book Author: Mansa Amankwah

Panelists:
- Takeyah Young 🇹🇹
- Maurice “Moe” Cheetham (Nii Ayitey Cheetham) 🇬🇭
- Neville Buchanan 🇯🇲
- Dr Kwabena Opoku-Agyemang 🇬🇭

Do you know Ananse? Tell me your story.

A quick take on the Accra Food Festival. I planned on being there for an hour...and that turned into almost 4. So a good time was had connecting with friends.

Most food events that I've attended here (Ghana) are not vegan-friendly or plant-forward, so I mostly go for the vibes and to see if I find vegan friendly restaurants.

A time was had!

I get asked about plant-based and vegan eating on the regular. Spending time outside the US, the questions double. 😊

Fun Fact: I have been eating plant-based for 27 years...and the beginning of that journey was curated living abroad....in Ghana! 🇬🇭

So when people ask me about how I have been able to do it and maintain it (in Ghana), I have a lot to share.* Yes, I have years of experience. Yes, I am trained in health and lifestyle coaching. Yes, it requires discipline. There are plenty tips I can give.

What i mention to people in my initial response is that I started eating plant-based at a time when access to "plant-based options" was limited. So mentally, i just dial back to practices and habits from those times.

Yes, it's 2026. Yes, folks "don't want to do all that work, prep, and planning." However, for me it is worth it and has been worth it.

Sometimes the best step forward to a step (or 2 or 10) backwards.

*With no breaks in 27 years. Should I break out my healthy living and eating guides again? Let me know below

Are you setting goals for the energy you have or the energy you wish you had? 🛑

Executing big moves while running on fumes doesn't produce high performance, it produces burnout. Real momentum happens when your strategy matches your actual capacity metric.

🔴 Restoration Mode (1–4): Protect your energy, clear friction, prioritize recovery.

🟡 Steady Mode (5–7): Maintain consistent daily habits and sustainable growth.

🟢 Expansion Mode (8–10): Stretch your targets, launch big initiatives, scale up.

Which mode is your bandwidth calling for right now?

Pushing through exhaustion isn't a strategy...it's an energy leak. 🌊

When your output slows down, it’s not a character flaw. Your battery is simply operating in power-saver mode. You don't need to burn your schedule down, but you do need to stop forcing expansion on a drained tank.

Shift from hustle to alignment. Audit your capacity before taking another step forward.
