Am I worried my own about job security?

As companies are investing in AI coaches, AI therapists, AI assistants, AI everything, the jury is still out on whether or not these investments will pay off. In fact, a recent study found that 95% of AI pilots have failed. Why? The research from MIT reveals “flawed enterprise integration.” Whereas “generic tools like ChatGPT excel for individuals because of […]

Remembering Wesley LePatner and her impact

We’re all still in shock and heartbroken over the tragic loss of Wesley LePatner during the shooting last week in Midtown. My girls and I had the privilege of meeting Wesley through the solidarity mission she led through UJA-Federation following October 7th. Afterward she became a friend and mentor to all of us, but especially […]

From Scroll to Soul

I recently heard an amazing conversation between the CEO of Pinterest, Bill Ready, and the CEO of Hinge, Justin McLeod, moderated by Jessica Cruel, editor in chief at Allure magazine. The session was titled, “From Scroll to Soul: Building Tech That Matters IRL,” and they discussed how to build with purpose in an era of endless scrolling. I […]

We need to talk about the V-word…

(No, not the one you’re thinking of!) Another session from the Aspen Ideas Festival that really got me thinking was between author and researcher Brené Brown and AI scholar Kate Crawford. The conversation, “AI and the Human Spirit,” centered around the question, “what does it mean to lead, relate and live well in a world increasingly […]

bot or not?

If you’re like me, every day you get bombarded with unsolicited emails, texts, calls, and DMs trying to get you to buy something (or vote for someone). It’s exhausting! I try to stay on top of it by dedicating regular time to “clean up” my emails and unsubscribe from the madness. Last month, I was in […]

From Self to Service

Over the past few months, I’ve been part of a program studying the craft of public speaking. It’s been energizing, humbling, and honestly…a little nerve-wracking. But mostly, it reminded me how much I love being a student again. One of our incredible instructors was Russell Ewing. I learned so much watching him and the other coaches on […]

Moms (and some dads!) are in the messy middle

Have you ever heard of the Sandwich Generation? You might be in it: It’s anyone simultaneously caring for their children and adult parents. So count me as a card-carrying member! But the thing is, those in the throes of all these caregiving responsibilities are often struggling. A LOT. According to a recent study from the University of […]

The unexpected gift the Knicks gave me

Sunday night felt different. It wasn’t just the Sunday Scaries creeping in. I was going into the first week all year without Knicks basketball—and I didn’t realize how much I was going to miss it. Not just the games: The anticipation. The group texts. The where-are-we-watching-tonight planning. The Let’s Go Knicks! energy that made an ordinary Tuesday […]

Expectation vs. Reality

This past weekend my twins, Julia and Caroline, graduated from college. It was finally here. Four years (or 22, really!) in the making. The weekend promised to be everything we’d hoped it would be. The weather was perfect, the fun swag I ordered from Etsy arrived on time and in one piece, and—bonus—the Knicks won […]

Health or Wealth?

May is a big month for me — Mother’s Day, my birthday, and this May, my twins are graduating from college (I’m still in denial about that)! It’s also Mental Health Awareness Month, which couldn’t come soon enough! Everyone I talk to is stressed out about the steady news of layoffs, the uncertainty around AI, […]
