From Challenges To Change
Welcome to From Challenges to Change, a space where I share my personal and professional experiences to inspire change and advocate for affordable housing.
Join me as I delve into the importance of securing housing and the transformative power of a safe home.
Connectioneering Over Conformity
Why is there hesitancy about showing personality in the corporate setting?
At what point did “professional” become synonymous with sounding, dressing, and acting the same?
Sharing the Microphone
Recently I was at a major executive table and later needed to apologize to my project lead.
Too much coffee. Up all night.
Too many details. Micro focused.
Schedule too tight.
Championship-Level Leadership
My bracket may be busted, but the energy here? Championship level. Basketball in Indiana is a whole vibe. #IYKYK
From Parkour to Policy
My oldest son has a special talent for testing the very edges of my patience as a mom.
Kayaking in creeks where there are alligators.
Starting a school project at 10 PM the night before it’s due.
High drama stunts in parkour, running, climbing, and vaulting.
The Audacity to Change
“We’ve never done it this way” is one of the most expensive lines in housing.
Accepting backlogs as normal.
Dragging through outdated processes and technology.
Staying stuck.
Blaming funding like it’s the only lever.

When Tradition Blocks Progress
“We’ve never done it this way” is one of the most expensive lines in housing.
It sounds safe.
It feels familiar.
But it blocks progress.
The moment we challenge it … things shift.
When Systems Drive Impact
“We’ve always done it this way” is one of the most expensive lines in housing.
Going 100% accessible online isn’t a "nice to have" option anymore.
March Madness Leadership Playbook
What happens when you mix analytics + hope + name recognition?
For me, that’s Hoosier level support during #MarchMadness.
