Why Motherhood is the Ultimate Leadership Position: A Mother's Day Special
Happy Mother’s Day! I am thrilled to share this week’s episode with you on a topic that is near and dear to my heart and my most significant role: motherhood.

I believe that the Drozd Family, my family, is the most important organization that I manage, and although I think we’ve made progress in making space for different roles, there is...

After that experience, I knew I had to help people in business to do better. We get into why having naysayers is actually a sign you’re doing som...

What Alaska Taught Me About Living

But not in an excited and anticipatory way, more of an “I desperately need space” kind of way. You see, I used to travel and take time away from work regularly. Take time to seek adventure, do things I love, go places that inspire me. But I hadn’t taken a trip like that in over a year. If you’ve been following my story, you know I mo...
