My fingers were frozen. My ego was definitely not.

Hey Reader!

Picture this: I've glued myself to the side of a mountain in Norway, my fingers so frozen I can no longer maneuver the carabiners narrowly keeping me from sliding down the cliff face. My husband Tzvi is somewhere below me with his muscles locked in total spasm from the cold.

This was supposed to be a fun hike.

In fact, it was a 28-kilometer trek that I signed us up for without fully reading the details — mountain biking, rock scrambling, and something called via ferrata: metal rungs bolted into the side of a cliff that you climb while clipped to a cable with two carabiners, because otherwise you'd freefall off a mountain. Tzvi asked if this was a good idea, and I told him absolutely, which was, for the record, probably very wrong.

I'm kicking off Season 4 of the Bold Women in Business podcast with this story because what happened on that mountain taught me more about business than any business book I've ever read.

Go give it a listen, or click below to watch (video has officially entered the building for Season 4! 🥳)

If you ever find yourself gripping for dear life to strategies that just aren't working (but you can't seem to give up on), this episode is for you.

Bold Content Collective kicks off May 14!

If you've been curious about BCC, this is your nudge to quit watching from the sidelines. BCC is for women who are ready for a clear strategy, a supportive community, and a consistent practice that actually feels good to maintain.

When Mother's Day blows

Hey Reader! I really didn't want to write this email. No, seriously. I had to bribe myself with a lot of doomscrolling and ice cream to get myself to finally open up this draft and just write the damn thing. Here I am, at 6:48pm on Mother's Day, a day that historically blows for me. And this year was no exception. Despite heroic efforts, I will never be a mother. That fate was sealed nearly 4 years ago. If you've been in my world for any amount of time, you probably know that because it's...

What do I do with my hands?

Hey Reader! Today I'm doing something I haven't done in a verrrrry long time: attending an IRL conference / networking event. And, let me tell you, the anxiety is sky-high. I'm walking into a room full of strangers at the JWE (Jewish Women Entrepreneurs) conference, and I feel like I'm gonna have no idea how to talk to people (never mind that I do virtual networking alllll the time, but somehow IRL feels different). What do I wear? Do I lead with what I do? Do I ask questions first? Do I...

She came in to fix her content but walked away with so much more

Hey Reader! Before she joined the Bold Content Collective, Steph had a pattern she couldn't quite shake. She was posting almost exclusively from inspiration. Whenever she felt that spark, she'd put something out into the world. Which meant that some weeks she posted a bunch, and then she'd disappear for weeks or even months at a time. Even when she did post, something felt off, like the content just wasn't quite her. "I was posting from inspiration and rarely really loved what I put out," she...
