How Misinformation Is Causing Nonprofits to Struggle
06/11/2026 | 58 mins.
I want to talk about something that is quietly affecting a lot of nonprofit leaders: Misinformation.
I've seen many organizations struggle, not because the mission wasn't important, but because the leaders were operating from incomplete, outdated, or incorrect information.
They were told:
"Just start a nonprofit and grants will come."
"Passion is enough."
"Programs are the priority."
"Filing paperwork means you're ready."
And over time, those ideas create confusion, frustration, and instability.
"I Didn't Realize Running a Nonprofit Was This Much Work" — Here's What Most Leaders Miss
06/09/2026 | 21 mins.
"I didn't realize running a nonprofit was this much work."
Honestly, many people don't realize it because they were never shown what actually goes into operating an organization beyond the mission and the programs. I've seen passionate leaders enter this work with good intentions, only to become overwhelmed by everything happening behind the scenes.
If you've been feeling overwhelmed, stretched thin, or surprised by the weight of leadership, this conversation will help you understand why, and what needs to change moving forward.
You're Probably Paying for Your Nonprofit More Than You Realize
06/05/2026 | 20 mins.
I want to talk about something many nonprofit leaders normalize without even realizing it: paying for the organization themselves.
Not just financially, but emotionally, mentally, physically, and with their personal time and resources.
If you've been sacrificing more than people realize just to keep things going, this conversation will help you recognize the real cost and why it matters.
It's Okay to Ask for Help as a Nonprofit Leader (And Why You Should)
06/02/2026 | 30 mins.
It's okay to ask for help.
But more than that—it's necessary.
Because doing it alone isn't a strength.
Building with the right support is.
If you've been carrying more than you should, this conversation will help you rethink what strong leadership actually looks like.
From Startup to Stability: What Comes Next
05/30/2026 | 37 mins.
Starting your nonprofit was one phase.
But building it to last is a completely different one.
Today, I want to talk about what it looks like to move beyond startup and begin building your organization for long-term sustainability.
If you've already started but feel like you're still in the early chaos, this conversation will help you understand what to build now so your organization can grow with stability.
