New York, Bono, and the Plot Twist

Episode Description

Next month, I will have lived in California longer than I lived in New York City—and I wasn’t prepared for the grief that particular piece of math would bring up.

So this week, I’m telling one of the stories that explains why I love New York so much.

It begins with a borrowed little black dress, a pair of too-big heels, and a last-minute assignment as Bono’s personal waitress at the opening-night party for Spider-Man on Broadway. A few weeks later, the man I had just started dating unknowingly brought me right back to Bono—with 35,000 screaming U2 fans along for the ride.

It’s a story about New York magic, wonderfully specific coincidences, and the moments that only reveal their meaning in retrospect. Because sometimes what we miss most about a place is the person we were while we lived there—and sometimes remembering her is an invitation to become her again.

Work With Me: The Star Power Hour

Do you have something important you’re preparing to communicate, but it doesn’t feel fully alive yet?

Bring me what you’re already working on: a presentation, speech, audition piece, podcast, pitch, social media video, performance, or even an important conversation. During this complimentary one-on-one session, we’ll play with how you’re delivering it, move perfection into the backseat, and uncover the presence, personality, and magnetism underneath it. The people receiving it won’t merely understand you; they feel you.

I’m currently opening a small number of complimentary Star Power Hours while I explore and develop this work. If something immediately came to mind, I’d love to work with you.
