    Before New York

    In episode one I said the Women Who Code talk hadn't started. June 2nd, I'm on a stage in New York City. This episode is what happened in between, how I built the talk, what prep actually looks like when the tech you're talking about won't sit still, and why getting selected still felt like a scam at first.

    Cognitive Overhead

    You know the feeling. Everything's overwhelming. Everything's harsher than it should be. You can't explain it, you just know something's off — and by 3-4pm you're done. It has a name: cognitive overhead. And the reason your system keeps failing isn't you. This episode I'm breaking down the difference between overhead and overload, why most productivity frameworks weren't built for a variable brain, and the specific things I actually use, including a morning check-in that offloads the connective thinking before my day starts.

    Before I Was Ready

    Two speaking gigs. One podcast. Zero prior experience with any of it. In this first episode I'm talking about what it actually looked like to say yes before I was ready — HomerCon, Women Who Code, and what prep looks like when you're building the plane while you fly it.
