Excited to share that I’ve joined mpathic as CMO! I wanted to apply my skills and passions to something that felt crucial, and this is it: protecting the future of humanity as AI transforms our world.
I thought about pitching this piece to a mainstream publication, but decided I'd like to invest in my Substack - I'd love you to follow along there!

I’ll be sharing more about my (really cool) new job in a few weeks. But in the meantime, I wrote about how I found it.
The job market is absolutely brutal right now - I hope this helps someone navigate it 💕

I often wake up with a clever thought, write it down and go back to sleep. Last night’s:
They’re only magic mushrooms if they’re grown in a magic forest. Otherwise they’re just sparkling fungi. ✨🍄🟫
Just got back from my annual solo camping trip and this might have been the best one yet!
🖌️ I let my creativity flow... writing and making art.
💪 I feel powerful... building fires, being in the woods alone at night.
😴 I get true rest... taking naps, relaxing in the sun.
Nothing heals like nature 💚
I made this graphic for the article I published in Forbes about companies pulling back from their performative Pride displays.
These are just 10 of the 100s of companies that stopped waving rainbows & sponsoring Pride events when political pressure scared them off.

The only thing more disappointing that performative allyship is rescinded performative allyship. Sadly, that's what we're seeing this Pride Month, as corporate brands that once touted support for the LGBTQ+ community are backing down.

Agree… young gen-X-er here to claim my SATC and JNCOs 🙋🏻♀️
Me: “I have so much work to get done!”
Also me: “…right after I get done interrogating this bunny.”
🕵🏻♀️🐰
Something that's been heavy on my mind: most of the folks that have lost jobs due to AI-driven efficiencies and have been out there trying to find similar roles... aren't going to find them.
I wrote about this + possible pivots in my latest @forbes.com article.

I just jumped on trampolines for an hour and a half and didn’t pee my pants 😅 Ask me anything!
Just published my first ever personal essay… on being a baseball mom ⚾️
Thanks for sharing it, @goodmenproject.bsky.social

I just asked my kid to fill my wine glass, and he filled it with half rosé and half chicken broth, and two things:
1. I’m pretty sure this is some kind of metaphor for motherhood
2. I’m starting a new high-protein wine business – ripe berries with a poultry finish – and it’s going to kill it!
When the world is in flames… make art. It’s fine.
I’ll be showing this piece in the Basecamp Studios Itty Bitty art show, where all the art is <6”. Opening tomorrow night at the Belltown art walk… come by if you’re in Seattle!
Made with my @glowforge.bsky.social + crocheting ✨🧶

My friend, Forbes columnist, and all-around inspiring person, @rebekah.bsky.social, has written a piece on the implications of a planetary brain as described in #GaiaWakes on professional leadership and workplace culture. What a fun interview to respond to!

What does leadership look like in a future that is driven by (not just assisted by) AI?
I talked with the author of upcoming book Gaia Wakes, @tophermcd.bsky.social, about how today’s leaders can prepare for this future in my latest @forbes.com piece.

My 11 yo: Lisa Simpson is the most famous Simpson in the world, other than the moaning.
Me: the moaning?
Him: The Moaning Lisa.
Love that!!

Seattle friends, are you around Saturday night?
As part of the Ballard Art Walk, my husband's vintage furniture gallery, Sparklebarn, is throwing an opening party for a new collection of food-themed art. I made a couple of pieces that are included in it too 🍔🍝
You should come by!
I've been thinking (and feeling) a lot about the impacts that AI is having on our jobs.
As a tech exec, I'm blown away by the power of AI in my and my teams' work.
As an artist & writer, I worry about how our work is seen and valued.
I wrote about this in Forbes: www.forbes.com/sites/rebeka...
Poster for Sparklebarn art walk party, Saturday April 12.
Seattle friends, you should come to this art opening at Sparklebarn during the Ballard Art Walk next Saturday the 12th.
I have a piece being shown in it, and there will be rad art and music all around!
