100 Blog Posts Later: Lessons Learned About Writing, Voice, and Impact

This is my 100th blog post.
Since 2016, I’ve been writing here—some posts have landed beautifully, some haven’t, but I’ve kept going. It feels important to pause and celebrate this milestone—something I’ve historically struggled with.
Someone once called me humble, and they were right: I haven’t always been good at shining a light on my own work. In my work on personal impact and influence, I often remind women that " If you don’t tell people what you’re doing, they won’t know. Nobody’s great in a cupboard."
So here I am, telling you:
I’ve written 100 blogs 😊.
Some of my blogs have soared—like Eating the Elephant (which, by some twist of fate, remains the most-read post). Others (Push the Button, You are Awesome) didn’t resonate as much.
And that’s okay.
Because I’ve learned that writing isn’t always about applause—it’s about finding my voice, owning being me, and sharing thoughts that might just make a difference to someone, somewhere.
Some of the blogs I’m most proud of are the ones that felt hardest to write—like the ones on Racism and the deaths of Breonna Taylor and George Floyd. They might not have had the highest views, but they felt deeply important to put into the world.
Every so often, someone reaches out—an email or a message—to say that a post really resonated with them.
“I needed to hear that today,” they’ll say.
And that’s why I do it.
That’s why I keep going.
It’s about connection.
So what’s the biggest lesson I’ve learned while writing 100 blogs?
❤️🔥When I write from the heart, that’s when I write my best blogs. That’s when it resonates most deeply.
Before I published my first post, I was stuck in mind drama—worrying what people would think.
"Would they like it?"
"Would they judge me?"
“Would they think I’m good enough?”
It took getting over myself to press “publish” because I just wanted to write.
Interestingly, every time I’ve struggled with lulls in writing, it’s been because I’d slipped back into worrying too much about what other people think. That’s when I get stuck, lost in my own head, and lose the joy of it.
❤️🔥When I write from the heart, that’s when I write my best blogs. That’s when it resonates most deeply!
And isn’t that true for so much of life?
The irony is, as I often say to my clients, most people are too busy thinking about themselves to worry that much about us anyway!
So here’s to 100 blog posts 🎉—some messy, some meaningful, but all part of the journey.
Thanks for being here, reading, and being part of this space where I get to keep it real.
If you’ve been reading, thank you ❤️.
If you’re new here, welcome 🤗.
I’m going to keep writing—because it matters..... And I love it!
And here’s to owning our voices, imperfectly but authentically.
