“I thought you DIED,” she lamented as she stomped into my hotel room. Confused, I looked at the clock and wiped leftover mascara from my lashes. It was 7:47am on Saturday morning.
I would’ve thought I died, too.
Whenever we travel for business trips, I’m up before sunrise, workout complete and coffee in hand. No one was more surprised to see I slept past 4:30am than ME.
I—hand-to-heaven—never thought I could sleep past sunrise.
I looked out the hotel door I still held open to gaze at the hills of rolling vineyards of Napa Valley then let it shut. No, really, Amy said, I was going to call the cops.
I turned to her and let my raspy morning voice utter, “I have a business hangover.”
Picture yourself reading an entire encyclopedia while sprinting on a treadmill in stilettos trying to avoid Mario Kart banana peels thrown in your path while calculating the amount of gasoline required to get to the moon. THAT is what a business hangover feels like.
Joining two brilliant entrepreneurs, Amy Porterfield and Britt Seva, in Napa, California, we spent three days brainstorming ideas, doing business critiques, and creating fresh strategies. While it sounds pleasant, it mostly felt like my brain was trying to get through an American Ninja Warrior obstacle course.
With a glass of wine….or two. WHO WERE WE KIDDING WE WERE IN NAPA?!?
I’ve been committed to sharing my messy-middle business journey with you, so here’s my top 3 takeaways from last weekend so–hopefully–it feels like you were there with us in spirit.
Can you see how these lessons contributed to my business hangover?! Regardless of how I felt, what I know is that I’m truly thankful. During this holiday week of Thanksgiving, I’m thankful for friends, family, and you.
Thank you for allowing me to share my journey, thank you for your replies, thank you for your messages on social media, thank you for allowing me to share in your journey as well.
In gratitude,

I wouldn’t say we were business nerds but my husband just sent me a Slack message asking me to call him.
