I believe your future self is waiting for you to catch up.
And she doesn't want you to hustle your way there. She wants you to build the systems that allow you to arrive with grace, energy, and purpose.
My journey wasn't a straight line.
For years, I did what many Gen X women do: I focused on everyone else. I built businesses, managed a career, and navigated the complexities of family life. But eventually, I hit a wall. I realized that I was rising to the level of my goals but falling to the level of my systems—and my systems were exhausted.
I've reinvented myself multiple times. I've gone from being a corporate strategist to an author, and from an entrepreneur to the founder of 100 Humanitarians International. Through it all, I discovered a fundamental truth: **What gets tracked gets transformed. What gets systemized can scale.**
"We do not rise to the level of our goals, we fall to the level of our systems."
— James Clear
I realized that we do not rise to the level of our goals, we fall to the level of our systems. That revelation changed everything.

My life changed forever after that trip. I received my Maasai name — Nemparnat
Christine is the first Kenyan I ever hugged when I got off the plane.
I went back to Kenya in the fall of 2015 to have the conversations that would lead to bringing expedition teams to Kenya.

We raised money to send Christine to Uganda to be trained in making reusable feminine hygiene kits
