Writer, coach, leader and activist. My lifelong passion for sports and social justice brought me to SquashBusters, Inc., in Boston where I fell in love with a community of young people and their families. I spent the last decade learning and growing alongside them. My life changed when my oldest daughter, Havi, passed away on January 20, 2021 of Tay-Sachs disease. I now write, speak, and design programs about showing up in the most catastrophic of times, and the mundane ones. I believe everyone has the capacity to be better for each other, if we could embrace beauty alongside pain. And, I continue to believe great teams exemplify the best of humanity: how to promote individual growth and group growth simultaneously; how to invite and celebrate challenge and change; and how to show up for each other after big wins and especially devastating losses.I am a devoted mother of two daughters and one son.
