Since sharing my conversation with @oprah and Jim Collins on the @oprahpodcast , I’ve received a number of thoughtful messages, mostly asking what’s next and what I’m learning along the way.
I’m still very much in it, but I wanted to share a few reflections, along with a snippet from my conversation with Jim that’s stayed with me:
Meaningful transition starts with yourself. For years, I poured my energy into building something for others. Now, I’m learning what it looks like to turn that energy back toward myself.
Clarity comes from movement. From doing. And in turn, it creates momentum.
And ultimately, it takes real courage to step into the unknown. I’m proud of myself for taking the leap.

Thank you @oprah for the opportunity to join you and Jim Collins on the @oprahpodcast to talk about taking a meaningful chance on yourself and the decision to put myself first while building what’s next.
After nearly 15 years at Nike, I chose to step away and create space to follow my instincts and discover what’s truly meant for me. We talked about navigating uncertainty, trusting your gut and finding clarity as the next chapter takes shape.
For the first time in a long time, I’m defining my direction on my own terms. It feels both grounding and energizing.
Grateful for the conversation, the perspective and the reminder to trust yourself. ✨

After nearly 15 years at @nike … I’m taking the next step.
Nike was never just a job, it was always a way of life. A brand, and a place, where relationships became communities, ideas turned into culture and collaborators became true friends. I leave with deep gratitude and an education in storytelling, communications and creativity that will stay with me always.
As they say: Just Do It. And I did.
