Red Lipstick ON! 15 days of inspiration - Day 3

Waiting to feel ready is one of the sneakiest ways we stay stuck. I’ve done it. You’ve probably done it too.

Here’s what I’ve learned after plenty of leaps that didn’t feel ready at all: readiness is usually a feeling that shows up after you’ve already started, not before.

You move, and then the confidence catches up.

So if you’re standing at the edge of something today, waiting for that feeling to arrive first, consider this your nudge.

You’re allowed to go before you feel ready.

Red Lipstick ON! 15 days of inspiration - Day 2

You don’t need a complete overhaul to start moving forward. You need one small action, and then another one after that.

I built the whole Red Lipstick ON! course around this idea, because I’ve watched too many women wait for the big, dramatic turning point that never actually comes.

Real change usually looks smaller and quieter than that. It looks like one honest decision, repeated on purpose, day after day.

If you’re in the course, this is the exact muscle we’re building together. If you’re not yet, this is where it starts anyway. Pick one small thing today.

Red Lipstick ON! 15 Days of Inspiration - Day 1:

Red Lipstick ON! has changed lives in our first year, mine included. As we get closer to the anniversary, I wanted to slow down and share some of the concepts that made the biggest difference, one a day, for the next two weeks. Some of these will be familiar if you’ve read the book. Some might be exactly what you need to hear today.

What would you actually do today if you trusted yourself completely? Not the version of you that checks in with everyone else first. Not the version that waits for permission or the perfect plan.

The one who just knows.

I ask myself this question more than you’d think, especially on the days when I’m tempted to talk myself out of something. Most of the time, the answer isn’t complicated. It’s just braver than what I was already planning to do.

Sit with that question today. You might be surprised what comes up.

Quick save-the-date: next Wednesday, October 7, I’m hosting a Real, Raw & Radiant Experience on Courage and Staying Power, right in the thick of everyone’s fourth quarter. Save your seat: https://bit.ly/4rKyNTE

I'll be honest with you, this month is a lot. We're three weeks out from our Office Dynamics conference right now, and if you've ever worked in event planning, you know exactly what that stretch feels like. The deadlines stack up. The decisions won't stop coming. Every single Q4 does this to us at ODI, without fail.

That's exactly why this year's Real, Raw & Radiant theme hit differently for me while I was building it.

Staying power. Not the big dramatic leap, just the quiet decision to keep showing up when the year has already stretched you thin.

I'm not teaching this one from some finished, figured-out place. I'm teaching it from right here, in the middle of my own stretch. If you're in your own version of this season right now, deadlines, decisions, demands piling up, I'd love for you to join me.

Real, Raw & Radiant: Courage, Staying Power in the Final Stretch

There’s a passage in my book, Red Lipstick ON!, that I come back to more than almost any other.

“Sometimes putting your red lipstick on means being bold.
Sometimes it means being vulnerable. Sometimes it means saying yes. Sometimes it means saying no. Sometimes it simply means looking in the mirror and deciding, I’m not done yet.”

I wrote that line on a day I needed to hear it myself. If you need it today too, I hope it finds you at the right moment.

If you haven’t read the book yet, or if it’s time to go back through it again, you can find it wherever you’re ready to start.

Strong women don’t have time; they make time for what is important in their life.

My girlfriend Diane Klitgaard Cabral and I love supporting the SHERO foundation in Las Vegas. Their mission is to provide resources needed to support, sustain, and empower young girls under the age of 25 who have been abused, abandoned, and exploited.

Joan Burge is a cover girl at 74! 💄❤️

We are thrilled to celebrate Joan as the September 2026 cover feature of Becoming an Unstoppable Woman Magazine.

And this feature couldn't be more fitting.

In “Joan Burge: The Unstoppable Woman Who Refused to Stop Growing,” the four-page article looks back at more than five decades of Joan’s life and career, from a young woman entering the workforce to an entrepreneur who founded Office Dynamics and became an advocate for the professional development of administrative professionals.

But this isn't simply a story about career success.

It's about the challenges behind it. The risks. The sacrifices. The health battles and heartbreaking losses. The times business was uncertain. And the decision, again and again, to keep moving forward.

The article also explores the chapter Joan is writing today through Red Lipstick ON!, encouraging women to release their fears, discover what they have inside themselves, and live a BIG Life filled with confidence, courage, authenticity, and purpose.

At 74, Joan is still learning, building, speaking, mentoring, and dreaming.

We think that deserves a cover!

Thank you to and Becoming an Unstoppable Woman Magazine for recognizing Joan and sharing her story so beautifully.

Today, our hearts are full. ❤️

On World Gratitude Day, we want to take a moment to say thank you to YOU, the women who make Red Lipstick ON! so special.

Thank you for reading, commenting, sharing your stories, joining our experiences, participating in Book Club, opening The Gloss, cheering one another on, and embracing what it means to live a bold, radiant life.

Red Lipstick ON! may have started with my story, but every woman who brings her own courage, wisdom, energy, and experience into this community adds another chapter.

And today is also a wonderful reminder that gratitude becomes even more powerful when we express it.

Think about a woman who has encouraged you, believed in you, made you laugh, challenged you to grow, or simply been there when you needed her.

Don’t just think about how grateful you are for her. Tell her.

Better yet, tag her in the comments and tell us why you’re grateful for her. 💄❤️

Let’s turn the comments into one big celebration of the women who make our lives brighter.
