After I wrote a book about building a house with my kids and rebuilding our life, I started this podcast to share more stories of triumph.

You know how sometimes a conversation takes the BEST side paths without any planning at all? Here's a tiny listen to my chat with Brian, but to get the good stuff go listen to the whole convo. 🎧

It was incredibly inspiring chatting with @cmbrookins on the podcast this week. Cara and her kids built their own house at a time when they needed to bond and experience some good. We went deep and I was blown away by her courage. Give it a listen: strongskills.co/podcast-feed/b…

The pandemic has been hard in more ways than I can count, especially not seeing family. I’ve always told my kids that you never know what someone is going through. Treat everyone like they are having the worst day of their life. Try to be that one good interaction of their day.

Stop putting off your biggest goals because you think you have to first become some other person who is more capable, more put together, more in shape, more organized or more of anything at all. You’re already exactly the person you need to be to tackle that goal.

Because of border closures I've missed getting to see my daughter through her pregnancy and still haven't met my granddaughter. I’m sharing this hard part now because when I finally DO get to share our reunion, I want you to know just how much it actually means. ❤️

I’m starting this weekend off with a mug of lemon tea and big plans. It’s officially time for me to start diving into the other project I’ve been teasing you about. (I promise I’ll share more details soon!!!) What’s on your to-do list for the weekend?

My best January productivity tip: Wait until the cats are napping to focus on the serious work. (Kidding...kind of.) What helps you focus and get stuff done? #CatsOfTwitter #cornishrex #Productivity

Virtual event speaking has been so much fun! And the last minute pivots are actually part of what makes them feel alive and human. I love how much heart went into this one. ❤️
Jay Callahan@JayRCallahan

Nice review of @cmbrookins prezo: "Cara was great. We all wish we could've met her in person. We had 2 pivot quite a few times when putting our 1st virtual event together & she was patient & pivoted when we needed her to. Her story came across really well on a virtual platform"

I finally posted a tour of our house (yup, the one we built) over on Instagram! We’ve been doing tons of interior projects the past few years so you’ll see a lot of DIY in various stages. instagram.com/carabrookins/ #stillbuilding

@cmbrookins and her four kids built their own 3,500 square foot home over the course of 9 months, and their family was transformed during the process. You can hear Cara's story on August 13 at the Don & Mira Ball Virtual Education Builds Hope! Register: secure.qgiv.com/for/opshouse/e…

I was so determined to keep my house building project a secret, but then I realized people who found out were willing to take more bold risks. So I shared— but I never imagined this! 💪🏼🏠

I’ve lost track of this year’s project count with these two. But more importantly I’ve lost track of the laugh count. Out of all the things we each build in life, our relationships are the most important. Pull your people close & building something big! #stillbuilding

So in love with this vintage find my mom @cmbrookins scored. My first inclination was to paint it white but the green is seriously growing on me... what do you think? 🤔
