Hey girl, hey!!! Can I get real with you for a sec? Life is a lot. The calendar keeps filling up, the world feels upside down some days, the group chat stays popping (or ghosted 😩), and between your career, your people, and your purpose, you’ve probably had more “raincheck” moments than real ones lately. That’s why FriendFest is ESSENTIAL Not just an event. Not just another “girls' day out.” But a full-on, power-packed, soul-refreshing experience to remind you of who you are, why you matter,...

Hey girl, hey!!! I hope you're feeling the passion, energy, and freedom that every summer brings! I sure am! Listen, a great girlfriend community member asked me a pivotal question with permission to share our conversation notes with you. Melissa from Houston, Texas, replied to my last newsletter with the following: Dear Sybil, how did you become so optimistic about life? I feel very far from where you are, and I don't know if I'll ever get there. Most of my friends are like me. We are...

Hey girl, hey!!! I am in the thick of a heavy travel week, spending some time with loved ones, speaking engagements, and fun with my kids. It's been wonderful, but I can't wait to get home to my bed on Saturday! I've been reflecting on life a bit and wanted to share this with you: Life is too short to overthink your dreams. Too short. You will never get to where you're going waiting for the right moment or the right people. Today is a great day to get up and make a power move! Here are a few...

Hey friend, I feel so blessed to write you from the safety of my home, my kids in school, and my family in good health. The past week's events have made us all count our blessings and hold them dear. I'm counting you in as one of my many blessings. Thank you, to each of you, for texting, calling, emailing, DMing, sending social posts, replying to emails, or whatever gesture of love you've sent my way and to the city of Los Angeles. I/we feel so blessed to have you in our corner. The recovery...

Hey friend, 99% of emails are sent to you with a ton of love, zest, and enthusiasm because that's typically how I approach life. However, this week of living in LA has me at an all-time low. My family is safe but I am not okay. I can't unsee what I've seen this week nor can I unhear the stories of community members and friends who suffered extreme loss. I wish I could wipe away all of the pain of this week, but it is forever etched into my heart and mind. The collective road to recovery for...
