CORE QUESTION
What Emotional Impact Am I Having on Others?
Whether we are leading a team, raising a child, supporting a friend, serving a customer, or caring for someone we love, the question remains the same: What emotional impact am I having on others? Every interaction creates either a love deposit or a pain deposit.
THREE EXPRESSIONS OF THE MESSAGE
One Message. Three Powerful Ways to Create Lasting Emotional Impact.
Love in Action Starts here
The Secret Ingredient is Always Love™3-Step Framework
Love is not something we just feel. It’s something we practice. The Secret Ingredient is Always Love™3-step framework begins with ourselves, expands into our relationships, and ultimately shapes the experiences we create for others.
Lead Yourself With Love
How am I showing up?
Every interaction begins with us. Our mindset. Our attitude. Our energy. Our intentions.
Leading yourself with love means becoming more intentional about how you respond to challenges, treat yourself, and show up for others. Because we cannot consistently give others what we are unwilling to give ourselves.
Applications: Life, Relationships, Leadership, Parenting, Personal Growth.
Reflection Questions: How am I showing up today? What energy am I bringing into my interactions? What kind of impact am I creating?
Build a Team That Cares
How are we treating one another?
No one thrives alone. Whether it is a family, a team, a business, a community, or a friendship circle, relationships shape our experience. Building a team that cares means creating environments where people feel safe, valued, supported, and understood. It means recognizing that every person experiences love differently. We feature a concept called: The Platinum Rule – Treat people how THEY want to be treated.
Applications: Families, Teams, Organizations, Friendships, Communities.
Reflection Questions: How well do I understand the people around me? Do others feel valued and understood? How can I better meet people where they are?
Create Micro Moments of Love
What emotional impact am I having on others?
The smallest moments often create the greatest impact. A kind word. A listening ear. A handwritten note. A moment of encouragement. A genuine expression of gratitude. These micro moments become love deposits that strengthen relationships and help people feel like they matter.
Applications: Customers, Employees, Family Members, Friends, Strangers, Communities.
Reflection Questions:Who needs a love deposit today? How can I intentionally create a positive emotional impact? What experience am I creating for others?

My Life Has Been Shaped By Love
“For most of my life, I thought love was something you felt. What I’ve learned through leadership, motherhood, loss, caregiving, faith, reinvention, and human connection is that love is something you choose. And those choices have shaped my life.”
My Story
The Life Behind the Philosophy
I grew up as the youngest of eight children in a small town in northern Wisconsin. We didn’t have much of anything, but my mother taught me one lesson that would stay with me forever. When people gathered around our table, she would say: “They’re not coming for food. They’re coming for the love. Or … there’s always room for one more.” At the time, I didn’t realize she was teaching me one of the most important lessons of my life. Years later, that lesson would become the foundation of my work, my books, and ultimately The Secret Ingredient Is Always Love™.

Life Experiences That Shaped Me
Before There Was A Framework, There Was A Life
Motherhood: I’m a proud mother of 11 children and MANY nieces and nephews. Each one has taught me that people experience love differently and that understanding others is one of the greatest expressions of love.
Bryce: When my son Bryce was born prematurely at just 2 pounds, 6 ounces, his heart stopped three times. In one of the most difficult moments of my life, I learned what faith, hope, and unconditional love truly look like.
Wendy: When my sister Wendy was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer, I stepped away from corporate life to help care for her. Walking beside her during the final months of her life changed me forever and deepened my understanding of what it means to truly show up for another person.
Reinvention: Like many people, my life has included heartbreak, disappointment, loss, unexpected turns, and reinvention. Again and again, I have discovered that our greatest struggles often become our greatest teachers.

Why The Secret Ingredient Is Always Love™
What Was Missing Became What I Give
When I look back on my life, I can see a common thread. Many of the things I needed most—encouragement, belonging, support, understanding, and human connection—became the very things I wanted to create for others. The Secret Ingredient Is Always Love™ is not just the title of a book. It is a philosophy. A way of leading. A way of serving. A way of living. And a reminder that every interaction leaves an emotional impact.

Stories of Love
Stories That Remind Us What Matters Most
The most meaningful moments in life are often the smallest. A teacher who believed in us. A friend who showed up. A leader who noticed. A stranger who cared. Read stories of love in action and share your own.
Get In Touch.
Let's Start the Conversation
Every meaningful partnership begins with a conversation. If you’d like to discuss a speaking engagement, media opportunity, workshop, consulting project, or another way we can work together. Please complete the contact form. I look forward to connecting with you.
As Seen / Heard On
The world doesn't need more information. It needs more intentional human connection.
Whether you’re leading an organization, serving a customer, raising a family, or simply showing up for the people around you, every interaction leaves an emotional impact. My hope is that you’ll leave this page asking one simple question:
What emotional impact am I having on others?
Because when people believe they matter, they perform differently, lead differently, live differently, and love differently.
And that’s why I believe The Secret Ingredient is Always Love.™
