What does empowering women really mean? This is a question I often hear when people learn that I’ve written a book that empowers women and that I speak at many women’s conferences. To be clear, I speak to mixed-gender groups regularly, but am frequently hired to speak to groups of women—business women, college women, women of faith, and corporate women’s
#RealLifeWonderWoman — Meet Amber Crow
The story of today’s real-life Wonder Woman is both powerful and personal. Raw and real. Heartfelt and honest. It’s a story of love and life. Meet Amber Crow! KR: Can you tell us about what brings you joy and fulfillment? AC: Watching my daughters learn new things. I’m always astonished when they figure something new out. However, I also love
#RealLifeWonderWoman–Meet Rachel Michael
Meet Rachel Michael, style coach extraordinaire! After working with close to a thousand clients at a national online personal styling service, this real-life Wonder Woman started her own Minneapolis-based styling business called Reflect Style. Personally, I’m in love with her mission: to help people look good, feel good and love what they wear. She’s all about refining and celebrating each person’s individual style
A Pledge of Resilience
Lately, the word “resilient” keeps popping up in conversation and in my social media feeds. Apparently, it is a hot topic across generations and across industries. I hear it from concerned parents asking how they can help their kids be more resilient. I hear it from young women who feel like they are crushed by adversity, and wanting guidance. I
Go Bananas! Let your coworkers know you care.
I was walking through Target on Saturday, February 15th. It had been a few weeks since I’d visited this happy place—the place that greets you with the scent of Starbucks as you walk in and bright, colorful displays teasing you immediately to the dollar section. Smiling employees, wearing their red and khaki, offering to assist you and the lure of

Oh, friends, you’re in for a real visual treat today! This week’s real-life Wonder Woman is a talented artist and is sharing examples of her work with us.

#RealLifeWonderWoman — Meet Vickie Night
Today’s #RealLifeWonderWoman inspires me with her resolve and her love. Her life was forever changed almost 4 years ago when her then, 17 year old son suffered a massive brainstem stroke. She’s currently a stay-at-home mom, author and caretaker to her now 21 year old son. Meet Vickie Night, a real-life Wonder Woman! KR: Vickie, when I think of you, the
#RealLifeWonderWoman — Meet Brooke Peterson
Ever meet someone who just drew you in? Someone with genuinely positive energy? A few weeks ago, I met someone like that at a creative retreat in Wisconsin. She was quiet, at first. Thoughtful and respectful. But willing to open up and ask questions. I could tell almost immediately that she was smart. Like really smart. And compassionate, too. As
Why Wonder Woman?
Someone recently asked me, “Why do you spend so much time and energy featuring other real life Wonder Women on your website and social media when you could be promoting your own business?” I was a little surprised by the question. Honestly, wouldn’t you rather read stories about cool people doing great things than view ads for my speaking services
Rethinking Resolutions — My POWER WORDS for 2020
1. I’m going to only eat green leafy things and give up wine, cheese and chocolate so I can lose 25 pounds by February. 2. I will write 3 poignant and creative blog posts a week. 3. I will achieve work-life balance in 2020. I used to make New Year’s resolutions like the ones above. And I often gave up on
