Many of you have been walking with me through my father's passing.
Thank you. 🤎
Over the past few weeks, your messages, prayers, stories, phone calls, flowers, and generosity have reminded me, again and again, that I wasn't carrying this alone.
But I realized something.
I've shared about losing my dad, but I never actually introduced you to him.
The truth is, this whole experience has felt weird because I don't know my father that much.
And yet I know him so well.
This is James Cornell Anderson, aka JC, aka Boss Man, depending on when you met him. 🙂
My dad was the first Black quarterback recruited to the University of Washington in the early 1970s. He was also dyslexic. He played quarterback, wide receiver, and running back, ran a 4.4 forty, and broke barriers at a time when very few Black quarterbacks were given the opportunity to lead.
He also battled addiction and alcoholism.
He chose homelessness. For years he lived in abandoned trailers around Fresno and bathed with a water hose.
Yet somewhere in the middle of all of that, he was always building something. He could build and fix just about anything. He started businesses, rebuilt bicycles for neighborhood kids from discarded parts, helped friends get jobs that became careers, and if something made him smile, you'd hear him laugh and say, "Ooh wee!"
My dad made me feel just about every human emotion there is. I don't think I've ever met another person who forced me to confront every corner of my own humanity the way he did. Maybe that's why the only word I've had for all of this is... weird.
But I do know this.
For years, I tried to decide which version of him was the "real" one. I finally realized they all were.
Learning to see my father as a whole human being changed the way I see every human being.
It changed the way I love, lead, and coach. It made me a better daughter, friend, and advisor because I stopped looking for simple answers to complicated people.
Dad... thank you. 🤎
Thank you for breaking barriers.
Thank you for your laugh.
Thank you for teaching me how to build things, even if what you've helped me build looks very different than pallets or bicycles.
Thank you for refusing to fit into a simple story.
Thank you for teaching me how to love someone honestly. Not by pretending the hard parts didn't exist, but by refusing to let them become the only story.
That's who my dad was.
I love you. ❤️
If you'd like to learn more about my dad, I've included his Ever Loved memorial in the comments and bio. It includes his obituary, photos, and a place to share memories.
If you knew James, I'd love to hear yours. 56 37I don't actually care whether you make the earrings.
Seriously.
What I'm really hope you'll give yourself is an hour that's just...different.
An hour to make something beautiful with Ife Thomas.
Have a few good conversations.
Laugh a little and just enjoy being with other people for a while.
If you happen to leave with a beautiful pair of tassel earrings, even better.
The earrings are just what we'll make with our hands. The conversation is what we'll leave with.
I'd love to save you a seat around the campfire tomorrow evening. 🔥
🔗 Registration link is in the comments or my bio. 6 1One of the most restorative things I’ve done this year was drive across town to Santa Monica and try synchronized swimming for the first time.
Well… technically the second time now because I already went back. 😂
As a kid, I was a competitive swimmer. My first dream was to become an Olympic gold medalist in backstroke. My second dream was to dance with Alvin Ailey. Neither of those things happened.
But somewhere in the middle of adulthood, responsibilities, deadlines, and leadership… I stopped making space for joy that didn’t need to become productive.
So when I saw synchronized swimming, something in me lit up.
Swimming.
Music.
Movement.
Community.
Curiosity.
It felt like a chance to reconnect with parts of myself I hadn’t visited in a long time.
Now listen… my body is NOT what it was at 12 years old. 😂 My lungs definitely experienced a level of betrayal they were not prepared for. They were screaming at top volume: "Girl, who do you think you are???"
I persisted despite the alarms and what surprised me most was how relaxed I felt afterward. For this first time in a long time, I wasn't escaping life. Instead I felt fully inside it.
For years, I defined rest as stopping, sleeping or going on vacation. Stuff that I still do, but doesn't always bring the rejuvenation I crave.
Now I define rest as doing things that bring me genuine joy, and that shift has changed how I think about leadership, capacity, and sustainability.
This is what capacity management looks like in real time - intentionally building joy, movement, curiosity, and community into your life before exhaustion becomes your default setting.
Leadership has to stop treating rest like a reward for work.
Pause is a power move.
And sometimes that power looks like a middle-aged Black woman trying synchronized swimming in Santa Monica like she’s headed to the Olympics. 😂
Follow for more conversations on leadership, curiosity, and building a life that doesn’t require burnout to feel successful. 46 32I've been thinking about my friend Ifé Thomas differently this week.
I've known Ife for most of my life, and one of the things I've always loved about her is that she notices beauty everywhere.
She's the friend who somehow always knows about the skincare product no one else has discovered yet. The one who'll send you a lipstick recommendation, introduce you to an independent jewelry designer you've never heard of, or turn wood, yarn, beads, and color into something people stop you to ask about.
If you've ever come up to me after a keynote and asked about my earrings, there's a pretty good chance they came from Ife.
Beauty has never been something she waits to enjoy after life settles down.
It's woven into the way she lives.
I've watched her build Her Glow while caring for her aging parents, and somehow she never stopped creating. Every time we're together, we end up talking about the same things: lipstick, music, family, caregiving, faith, entrepreneurship, grief, hope. It all belongs in the same conversation.
This week has reminded me why I've always admired that about her.
A week ago, I thought we were simply getting together to make tassel earrings.
Now I see the invitation differently.
It's an invitation to make room for beauty while life is still asking so much of us.
Life has a way of convincing us there's always something more important to pay attention to.
Deadlines. Decisions. Taking care of other people. The next thing on the list.
Watching Ifé over the years has reminded me that beauty deserves our attention, especially when life feels full.
That's what I hope we'll experience together on Tuesday.
We'll make tassel earrings, talk about caregiving, creativity, and the seasons of life that ask more of us than we thought we had to give.
Mostly, we'll spend an hour making a little more room for beauty.
I'd love to save you a seat around the campfire. 🔥
🔗 Registration link is in the comments. 11 1Yesterday morning didn't unfold the way I thought it would.
First I woke up to an email from one of my team members letting me know she was resigning unexpectedly because the weight of caring for her mother had become too much to carry alongside work.
A couple of hours later, I got the call that my father had been rushed to the hospital because he was unresponsive.
I dropped everything, got in the car, and drove three hours to Fresno hoping I'd make it in time.
I didn't.
Last night, my dad died.
And somehow, this morning I found myself thinking about making room for beauty.
As I sit here, I'm holding all of it at once. The grief. The practical realities of planning a funeral. Clients who still need me. CLAP cohorts that are launching. A business that doesn't simply stop because my world has.
In the middle of all of it, I keep thinking about next week's Rested Rebel Summer Camp conversation with Ifé Thomas .
I'll be honest...I caught myself wondering whether I should even be thinking about that event at a time like this.
Part of me kept saying be still, the work will wait. Sitting around a campfire making tassel earrings right now is frivolous.
But the Rested Rebel in me quietly asked a different question: Why does grief have to look a certain way?
Instead, I noticed what I was actually longing for: soft things, beautiful things, people who didn't expect me to have the right words, and the chance to sit in a room where nobody had to pretend they were okay.
I spend a lot of time talking about what leadership looks like under pressure.
I have a feeling this belongs in that conversation too.
I don't know what your version of grief looks like.
I only know what mine looked like this morning. 218 112I keep thinking about four words from Tuesday night.
"It wasn't another boring Zoom."
It's amazing how a single sentence can reveal what people are really hungry for.
When I read that text the next morning, I laughed because I knew she wasn't really talking about Zoom.
She was describing what happens when people stop performing and tell the truth instead of trying to impress each other.
That's the space Aida and I stumbled into Tuesday night around the campfire. Not because we planned it, but because we gave each other permission to be honest.
I found myself thinking about how few places there are for leaders carrying the weight of everyone and everything to simply say, "I'm tired," hear someone else respond, "Me too," and then laugh at the absurdity of trying to hold it all together.
There's something quietly restorative about realizing you don't have to carry it alone.
It made me realize that maybe what so many of us are craving isn't fewer meetings, but more moments where no one feels responsible for having all the answers.
Where we don't have to sound polished.
Where curiosity matters more than certainty.
Where, for just an hour, we can stop performing and simply be present.
That's something I'm hoping to carry long after the campfire is out.
Until next time. 🔥 1 1Leadership Receipt
I was scrolling LinkedIn the other day when I stopped on a post from Chief celebrating members who had made bold career moves this year. There was Candie, smiling in her new role as Director of Campaign Initiatives and Operations at Sutter Health.
I smiled too, but probably for a different reason than everyone else reading the announcement.
Last year, Candie and I were working together during a season of transition. Like so many accomplished leaders, she wasn't trying to reinvent herself, she was trying to figure out how to clearly articulate the value she'd been creating for years as she considered what was next.
Like many experienced leaders in transition, Candie wasn't trying to become someone new. She was trying to find language for the leader she'd already become.
At one point she said something that perfectly captured the challenge:
"Everyone says they're collaborative and innovative. I need to say it in a way that's distinctly me."
Exactly.
We didn't spend our time trying to make Candie sound more impressive. She already was. We focused on helping her lead with what made her different.
She stopped describing her background in fundraising and operations and started talking about herself as what she actually is: a builder. Someone who creates strategic alignment, drives revenue, and builds systems that outlast her.
Her experience never changed. Her story did, and the rest is history.
Sweet history. 😀
Congratulations, Candie. I can't wait to see what you'll build at Sutter Health.
If you're in the middle of a career transition and find yourself over-explaining your experience instead of clearly communicating your value, you don't need another credential.
You may just need a better translation.
Sometimes the biggest breakthrough isn't becoming more qualified. It's finally finding the language for the value you've been creating all along.
That's exactly what the Leadership Edit is designed to do.
Details are in the featured section in my profile. 4 0Last night reminded me why I wanted to create Rested Rebel Summer Camp.
It happened less than a minute into the conversation.
As I introduced Aida, I pronounced her name the way I'd originally heard It...the Americanized version.
She smiled and gently corrected me.
Years ago, she decided she was done making herself smaller.
She was named after her grandmother, an honor of deep signifigance. For years, she'd let people pronounce it the American way. Then, as she began performing on bigger stages, including Last Comic Standing, she decided she was done making herself smaller to make everyone else more comfortable.
I laughed because I've known her since before she made that decision. She knows I still slip sometimes, and she corrected me with so much warmth that we both laughed.
That tiny exchange set the tone for the next hour.
Mistakes became invitations.
Invitations to tell the truth.
Invitations to show up a little more fully as ourselves.
The next morning, one attendee wrote: "It wasn't another boring Zoom."
I've smiled every time I've come back to that sentence because I don't think she was really talking about Zoom.
She was talking about an hour where nobody had to pretend they had it all together, and correcting someone's pronunciation wasn't awkward. It was an act of self-respect.
Where saying, "I'm tired," wasn't something to hide, but was something another person quietly understood.
That's the experience I'm hoping to create all summer long.
Every campfire explores a different doorway back to ourselves.
Last night, it was permission.
On July 21, my dear friend Ifé Thomas will open another.
For years, she's balanced building Her Glow Candy Shop while caring for her aging parents. Somewhere along the way, she discovered that creating beautiful things wasn't separate from carrying life's weight.
It was one of the ways she found the capacity to keep carrying it.
So we'll make her signature tassel earrings together.
I've started to wonder if that's why creativity matters so much.
It doesn't remove the weight, but it definitely changes how we carry it.
I'd love to save you a seat around the campfire. 🔥 8 5
